Honestly first time I saw the movie, soon as they got into the empty german trench, all I could think was "booby traps". Germany LOVED those in both world wars any time they abandoned areas and really perfected the art, I read how in WWII they'd often rig booby traps to slightly crooked paintings set to go off when you straightened them, and did it in the nicest house in town figuring the officers would take it over, and while an enlisted man wouldn't care, an officer wouldn't stand for a crooked painting, thus ensuring the most valuable target was killed by the bomb.
2:48 I love the detail of Schofield noticing the German children’s photo, knowing what we know about his character with a family as well… The Germans are depicted as this terrifying force with more advanced equipment, cold and ruthless, but this moment shows our protagonist realizing these men are not so different from them…
I remember like it was yesterday when I was there in the movie theater watching this masterpiece, and I would definitely watch it again if one day they show it again in theaters
One of the subtle things I like is how the German trench is so clearly better designed. Neat lines, concrete and sandbags instead of dirt and wood, drainage to carry away water, literal signs pointing directions 😂
@@Townesvanwaits signs are equipment reminders, for gas only (underneath bell) direction to telephone and a name given to lengths of trench (similar to street names).
The difference between the british trench and the german trench is so well displayed here. I remember as a kid learning that when Newfoundland made the charge at Beaumont - Hamel, they were weighed down by a ton of equipment because they were told the german trenches needed to be made "livable". As if the Germans were wild animals or something, and this was not the case
This movie is meant to be seen in one place and one place only - THE CINEMA. I've never seen a movie quite like this and it felt like I was _IN IT_ the whole time. An unforgettable experience.
This movie is definitely revolutionary! hope this movie will inspire other movie directors in the future to use the same all-in-one-take cinematography as this 👍🏻
The German trenches were nearly always better. Well-drained, lined with stone or even concrete. Because once their attempt to conquer France was defeated in 1914 and it became attrition / trench warfare, they retreated a bit to higher, more defensible ground, whereas the French were ideologically driven to not accept the Germans occupying an inch of French soil, so the French would dig their trenches as close as possible to the Germans, even when that meant low, soggy, inferior ground -- and both they and the British suffered horribly for it.
Very accurate depictions of the difference in the German trenches and English…. Germany KNEW it was going to be the long drawn out nastiness this was and was better prepared
There must have been some Britons and Franks in Germany when war was declared (and Germans in those two countries), be them expats, tourists, etc. What happened to Germans in those countries (and those countries' people in Germany) when war was declared?
Why would there be a mine shaft? Why would the Germans be like "Hey, even though we're in the middle of fighting this war, let's do some mining real quick"?
One thing I never got is how did they know that nobody would be at that trench when they would get there? I mean they don‘t seem worried to get discovered by their way of talking
The Germans withdrew from those trenches and formed a new front called the Hindenburg line a few kilometers back. They knew the trench would be empty because the general told them, and they believed it once they saw that nobody was in it.
When he soaked his hand in water from a canteen...did it ever occur to the army to give the troops canteens of H2O2 as well as water, in case of an injury like that?
Three reasons: 1, The formula of hydrogen peroxide, H2O2, was only really solidified about two decades prior by Melikishvili, and its use outside of major cities and chemistry labs was very rare until later in the 20th century. 2, Having an extra canteen for hydrogen peroxide in the unlikely chance that your soldier gets a cut and not shot or blown up, would have required a massive investment into pharmaceutical industries, something the British were not able to afford at that time (Germany could with BASF or Bayer, who had been operating for at least half a century prior to the war). On top of that, you would also have to produce a container for it, something akin to a canteen, but something that did not impact production during war time (unlikely and expensive). Three, the average Tommy or German, for that matter, would have discarded them soon after getting to the front, or left them at a field hospital where it would have been more useful. Keep in mind that most of these boys were from either factory workers or the country, they had no idea about germs outside of basic survival instinct and basic cleanliness. Any piece of equipment that you could get rid of, you typically would. Especially considering a full canteen would likely have weighed a couple of pounds, which may not seem like much, until you take into account the amount of gear they were already carrying.

Brilliant and ruthless
Yup thats how we handling business. When we do something, we do it right.

Yeah
This movie sucked.
Trash story line but quiet good cinematic video
I hope it’s “Meat for Dogs” not “Meat from Dogs”.

To be fair, most of the signs are probably jokes saying "10,000 Miles -> Hollywood" or some sh¡t
@@TownesvanwaitsEven then, it shows how much higher the morale would have been in the German trenches compared to where these two just came from.
@@Townesvanwaits signs are equipment reminders, for gas only (underneath bell) direction to telephone and a name given to lengths of trench (similar to street names).
The movie makers may have used jokes knowing that most of the audience wouldn't understand German, though I highly doubt they did that. @@univox6786
@@spaman7716how much did this “morale” actually help though? They ultimately lost and no one really won the trenches.
This scene legit made me jump out of my seat in the theater. The explosion was loud as hell!
This movie needs a sequel that takes place on the eastern front.
I still remember being in the theater for this. It was a shocking jumpscare in the theater
that bomb explosion in the theaters gave me goosebumps

Agree! Nothing like the cinema experience.
A very good jumpscare never always comes from a horror movie.
Although, 1917 is secretly a horror movie.
Yeah, it's about the horrors of war.
I thought Dunkirk was more of a horror movie
Never always?
Come and See is the greatest horror movie ever made.
They never responded; they don't like that you called them out on their error lol@@jinks908
The first film I watched in IMAX. A whole spectacle.
This movie is definitely revolutionary! hope this movie will inspire other movie directors in the future to use the same all-in-one-take cinematography as this 👍🏻
One take movies are definitely not new, even Birdman came out before this movie
2:02, thats how you add a cut to a "no cuts" movie.
I asked a Russian what he remembered most about the Germans when they invaded in WW2. He said they were always building things.
Not that surprising

This movie is 3 years old I haven't even got a chance to see all of it yet
It's amazing
Thank you
Missed is the nod to the German side for having better trenches than the Brits...It was factual in compared designs

Schofield is Curly from Peter Pan (2003)
Why would there be a mine shaft? Why would the Germans be like "Hey, even though we're in the middle of fighting this war, let's do some mining real quick"?
Maybe the shaft was there before they dug the trench.

Did they use real or CGI rats for this scene?
Definitely looks suspenseful so that's interesting to me
Germans got some nice trenches
During the war the Germans had nicer trenches. They position themselves on higher ground, so rain water would drain out.
The rat done that on purpose or...?
he’s a german
Wow! This scene is very intense!
One thing I never got is how did they know that nobody would be at that trench when they would get there? I mean they don‘t seem worried to get discovered by their way of talking

Awesomeness job
They saw how the Germans slept and cooked, but didn't see how they bathed.
Ain’t no way I’m going into those tunnels 😂
