I stood up went to the bottom of The stairs right in front of the scree and refused to leave until it was all finished. 1917 is the best film I’ve ever seen
It was really touching that despite Schofield being really detached throughout the film and dismissive of Blake's optimism and naivety, Schofield did in fact have a wife and two daughters he wants to return to
The real tragedy begins when he will go home. Back to a society that wouldn’t care what he had to go through. What it cost him. The things he did to survive. Unfortunately, he foreshadowed that in the beginning by saying he ‘hated’ being home during leave. To these boys, this was their world now, their life, and those who survive would be going back to a society that pretended there was ever a war, a society that would leave them behind.
DasTemplar 96 just like in modern times. War changes people. And when they come back they return to a society that will never understand what they went through, what they had to do.
I feel like he hate going home on weekend bc then he has to comeback to war again and it's hard to say goodbye. He saw how Blake is so determined to go save his brother, it's encouraged him to fight to go back home as well.
And it's the only 'war' movie I can think of where the journey is to save lives. They're not trying to crush an enemy or kill anyone, quite the opposite, they're trying to stop a battle.
@@Spartain14 The movie, along with Dunkrik, in my opinion, has redifined the concept of patriotism. It's not always about charging and fighting but also about saving lives.
I think it was a bit of bad luck on his part, he was up against some great soundtracks. The woman who won was the first woman soundtrack composer to ever win an Oscar, and she did incredible work on the Joker which was well deserved. In every other case I think Thomas was robbed however, especially for the Shawshank redemption and the Green Mile
Makes you realise that there aren’t a lot of veterans of WWI or II anymore, which is all the more important for us to keep their stories alive for future generations
You guys might not remember, but this music also plays at the time Schofield is inside the truck, heading to Écoust, with some squad he met soon after Blake's death. And they stare at the desolate landscape of a war's aftermath, while Schofield quietly mourns and farewell to the final place his brother-in-arms did breath.
@@g0-b0y90 Blake was 19 and Scho was around 22 to 23. It's confirmed that was his wife but my first 2 watchings I thought it was like a sister and nieces lmao.
This was the last movie I saw in theaters before the pandemic. Now this song makes me feel emotional for whole new reasons besides just being from a great movie.
@@karimzakaria9621 I feel you, I have that experience with this track in particular. That cello starting at 1:04 is so moving, I almost can’t listen to it.
I saw this movie 2 days ago and I still cant stop thinking about how good it is, and how it made me feel emotionally. Its hard to describe. 1917 is a perfect movie.
This is so thomas newman. The sound that just cuts right into the heart. The melancholy and yet hopeful, His music really brings up those elements in the best possible way. One day, he will hopefully win an oscar
Indeed. It is beyond me how some commented on Reddit that his score was "unsubtle". Well, even when he has a towering wall of sound, it only happens in key moments where there is a sense of absolute deliverance and the main character is simply beyond himself. Only when listening to the OST album one realises in how many places Newman was present with us, with utterly subtle textures of sounds, and occasionally his ability to strike at the heart with just 1-2 notes on a piano, hovering above electronic textures.... is just remarkable.
'Cuts right into the heart. The melancholy and yet hopeful' . . . Simple but resonating description. Max Richter - On The Nature Of Daylight is another similar example. Music that expresses both the pain and beauty of life, what it means to be human.
Lance Corporal Alfred Hubert Mendes MM (1897-1991), "C" Company, 1st Battalion, King's Royal Rifle Corps Awarded the Military Medal for running a vital messages from to "C" Company's sector at Poperinge to the rest of the battalion at the Salient. In his own words: "Walking from Poperinge to the Salient, an area in which countless men, the flower of Britain and Germany, lost their lives, an area into which countless shells plunged destroying whatever tree, plant, bush, or grass there was and left behind a surface of moon-like desolation, many shell craters as traps for sucking in live men and drowning them - to this sector we came in 1917.... The snipers got wind of me and their individual bullets were soon seeking me out, until I came to the comforting conclusion that they were so nonplussed at seeing a lone man wandering in circles about No Man’s Land, as must at times have been the case, that they decided, out of perhaps a secret admiration for my nonchalance, to dispatch their bullets safely out of my way; or they have thought me plain crazy."
oldmangreenleader I’ve seen 1917 many times, more than i want to admit. This movie moves me so much, the writing, cinematography. Score, acting is incredible. One of the best pictures I’ve seen.
@@ust7243 I've rewatched it so many times to watch their faces, every actor really did a great job especially Mackay. I just can't stop rewatching it tbh I'm not ashamed of it.
I think that if this movie had been about American Doughboys it would have been showered with Oscars. The problem was N.A.I. ... No Americans Involved.
It doesn't really matter if It features americans or not, Oscar is becoming pure SJW crap, if It doesn't involve minorities or social issues then It isn't a good movie for them
@@xavierbouchez9227 I´m totally agree with you. Both are dramatic,but the Joker soundtrack is almost sad. You feel the character sadness through the music. Well done Hildur, congrats.
I fear Thomas Newman may never make another score that will be as powerful and Oscar-worthy as this and the Academy has denied him one too many times already for the mesmerizing scores he's composed through the last three decades.
This movie is a work of art. The symbolism created by Mendes is subtle and overwhelming at times. The relentless feeling of fragile life and sudden, violent death. Contrasts between light and dark. Heaven and hell. The acting of George MacKay - how was he not nominated for an Oscar? The one shot effect with no cuts and feeling trapped inside the movie as the soldiers felt trapped in the reality of war until their mission was done. And undergirding the entire work is the breathtaking soundtrack by the incomparable Thomas Newman. Probably his finest work in my opinion and I've heard them all. Hard to really say which is his best film score but this one is like he simply poured his whole soul into it. Simply amazing filmmaking. All in all to me right up there with Saving Private Ryan and Dunkirk as the finest war movie ever made.
I watched it again tonight cus although I found it slow it was just so different. The contrasts, as you say, really did something for me. Being in no man’s land which looks post-apocalyptic and minutes later they’re in untouched green fields. It gave me such an odd feeling and this song just puts all my emotions of his journey together
How did this movie NOT win the Best picture, Best director, Best original score and Best Actor George MacKay confirmed that the Oscar is ridden with corruption and poisoned with politics, it was not about art and performance.
For some reason as I was listening to this I just started crying. Tears rolling down my face. I was just overwhelmed by the beautiful sound. I think that describes exactly what seeing this movie felt like. Visceral and overwhelming
Man, that war was unbelievably brutal. None of them were ready for industrialized war. This song really captures the emptiness and sadness felt after. So much lost for so little.
The struggle these young men were fighting can be understood through texts. The struggle this young man had to go through and the mission he had to continue and finish can only be understood through this movie. This was a mission he had to continue alone. A race against time. A battle to prevent a battle. To save 1,600 lives and honor his friends dying wish.
1917 happened to be one of of the very few movies that i didn't watch a trailer nor read any review before, and i was so lucky, cause nothing prepared me for that EPIC piece of art
It’s a nice touch that Schofield keeps the picture of his family in the same tin that used to hold the medal he traded for a bottle of wine. Shows what really matters to him and every soldier at the front.
I think what hits the most about this scene, with the music especially is that Scoffield is realizing that he is part of the war whether or not he wants to be. He's involuntarily a hero for doing the heroic things that he had to do to get the letter to Mackenzie. After meeting Blake's brother and handing him his brothers belongings, in that moment I feel he realized how fragile and frail life is. He mentioned to Blake in the field just before the farm that 'when he realized he couldn't stay, and that they might not see me again' it was almost like he couldn't face going back and then returning to the horror of war, but the symbolism in him collapsing at the tree, he's ready to 'come back to us' now. Perfect movie that brilliantly captures how horrific and tragic war must be.
I’m so saddened already thinking of the immense grief and unbearable pain of war and hearing of yet another tragic case of homelessness in yourself yet I’m crying with a happiness reading it’s in the past for you now thankfully! I only hope that I’m time humanity will become kinder and more loving towards each other. My best wishes to you and hope for the future as well. 🙏 🥲
Once again, an astonishing achievement by Newman. This final piece is just one more illustration of how he thinks in sounds, and can achieve achingly expressive perfection with delicate, subtle means, too. Throughout the film he goes from translucent sonic textures to minimalist motifs to towering tsunamis of orchestral energies - the compositional range is just astounding.
Liam Edwards oh wow. What an memorable experience this must have been. I am doing background here in L.A. but have done nothing comparing to this. Awesome
@@YCFCfollower You'd be surprised by the lack of this stuff in the U.S. Sadly, many only trace their families back to their great-great grandparents and label themselves with the "proud American" symbol.
I have never so much cryed for a movie... Feeling useless and weak during the whole movie because you can't help the characters plus thinking that... That situation happened and that was real... What a funny species human is... Killing for having ''peace''
I'm thinking of how tough my great grand father had to be in his teenage to go through all this. Thanks everyone. He was a soldier in the British Indian Army. Served around the whole World.
Should be compulsory for everyone to know this, my granddad was there in France and the cold wet was alone bad enough to send you mad. It must have been hell.
My grandad's lived the first 6 years of his life during WW2, with his 11 siblings. I cannot even imagine myself going thru what he went through. It was horrible
The final scene got me teary eyed seeing Schoefield finally being able to rest and complete his objective absolutley beautiful music this movie is a masterpiece
What a movie ❤️... My husbands great grandfather and great uncle were on that front line together. Part of the first wave. If that message hadn’t been delivered, I very possibly wouldn’t have the person I love most in my life... I wouldn’t be here and neither would so many others, if not for all of them. God bless those who fell and those who fought. Those poor brave souls. Those Sons, fathers, brothers and friends who defended, protected, delivered messages, tended to the fallen. All while being scared and brave, away from those they loved, unsure whether they’d ever make it home. God bless those who fell, those who made it home and those who suffered permanent trauma. Bless them all. I’ve never known more bravery, more sacrifice. It just leaves you speechless..... ❤️😞
This was the last movie I saw in theatres before the March lockdown. Now, after everything that’s happened, I consider it a great gift and an honor to have this be the final movie I saw before the world changed forever.
What a tribute to the men who fought in this horrific war.I hope this younger generation takes the time to see this movie. May these men never be forgotten!
What an incredible movie. When I first watched it in theaters, I was completely lost in the story from start to finish. My eyes watered, but I couldn’t cry once during the movie. The second the credits began, my tears finally fell. I couldn’t breathe, I couldn’t shout, I couldn’t even think. This movie does so well to keep you in the same mindset as any soldier during that time...Not thinking, just acting in any way to survive one more day. Without a doubt, one of the greatest movies of all time.
I hate mackenzi, but had to say his character portrayal was on point, all that suffering throughout his journey only to be told to fuck off .. is this guy even right in his mind ? At that one moment the movie put you in the shoes of the hero. Thanks to many of them we are now able to live comfortably now. We should not take it for granted.
I serve in 2nd battalion parachute regiment and I cried to this every time cause I love a and appreciate and respect the soldiers who fought and died for this I'm drunk but its only time I can be honest.
This movie means a lot for me my great grandfather (my dad grandfather) as Australian solider he fought in both wars He was a lieutenant in the Somme and he was part the galipoli campaign he defended Sydney and stayed behind for six months to look after the pows the time he retired he was the brigadier General of the Australian Amy. He also had a letter from Winston Churchhill reason for that of unknown but I do know he saved horses which he was injured
The last scene of the film where Will is sat under the tree, surrounded by the maelstrom of golden hour sun and this score crescendos absolutely ruined me; I sobbed and sobbed like an insolent child. This score still touches me, not to the point of near hysteria and uncontrollable tears, but to a point where the mind is too emotional to even think, and small tears form in the eyes, but never decide to fall off the face.
Starts with two figures at peace under a tree, going into chaos. Ends with one under a tree at peace escaping the chaos. It was a great way to wrap up a time of chaos with peace.
my grandad James Henderson Mac Donald enlisted with his 2 brothers at the start of the war, all survived , he joined a highland regiment the Lovat Scouts being a gamekeepers son, in the Highlands of Scotland, he became a signaller and took the message the war was over, went on to be part of the occupying force in Koln after the war, my grandad came home and was a police constable in west Dunbartonshire for 30 years, including the luftwaffe bombing of my town Clydebank near Glasgow in 1941, he passed away in 1987 aged 90, James Macdonald 1897- 1987.
People like your grandfather. Born at the beginning of that century, living 90 plus years. I can’t imagine how weird looking back at your childhood would be considering how much changed during the 1900s.
@@Agentbat007 he was born during the BOER WAR and said he remembered the soldiers marching home , in 1897 year was born a VICTORIAN , but he could relate to me and my brother, he was a game old bugger, we loved him .
I just keep comming back to this tune.It,s just one of those near perfect song and where it sits in the film just makes it all the more beautiful and amazing.
2:50 is beautiful! This has to be one of my favorite score and film. The way the music just resonates during the credits is beautiful! Omg it would have been awesome to be a PA for the film or be there during sound recording. I would have cried.
I don't understand why on God's name Thomas Newman didn't win an Oscar for his masterpiece composition, also this movie should have won best picture... It's a masterpiece made by 3 legends... Sam Mendes, Roger Deakens, Thomas Newman... ❤️❤️❤️
My Grandad’s brother - Private Ryan of the Irish Guards and from Co. Tipperary, Ireland fought at the Somme. He was awarded the Military Medal for bravery after one battle, wounded in another and patched up and sent out to his death in Sept 1916. He was 20 years old. He is remembered on the War Memorial at Thiepval. Many Irishmen fought alongside the British as they had done for centuries in the British Army.
After the past year and a half now that we're rounding the corner on the pandemic after so much horror and death and sacrifice, I keep coming back to this song.
this is at once both beautiful and sad...scores to a movie add to and shape the visuals...making the whole experience memorable and eternal...thank you Thomas Newman and the makers of 1917

Hearing this again, after seeing the movie, made me cry quietly to myself. 😢😢😍😍
This song is unreal! Loved being an extra in this film. Just before the Andrew Scott scene early trench at the start.
Aw that’s awesome dude
@@Mari-hl1yw An amazing experience bud.
Liam Edwards I’m sure it was an adventure. Great acting mate! This movie was a fucking odyssey.
Liam Edwards oh wow. What an memorable experience this must have been. I am doing background here in L.A. but have done nothing comparing to this. Awesome
@@viciousrage5548 Thank you buddy, I done a video on my experience being a Extra on the film :-)
My great,great uncle died in Gallipoli. He had the same first name and surname as me. Never forgotten.
My family came to America after the war in the 20's, I found 18 people with my surname but I'll never know who I am connected to
@@galcrecy4655 Is there not any decent family trees available?
Here in the UK, my Dad has managed to track quite far back - pre-1900.
@@YCFCfollower You'd be surprised by the lack of this stuff in the U.S. Sadly, many only trace their families back to their great-great grandparents and label themselves with the "proud American" symbol.
1:28 makes me melt every single time. Both the scene and the piece itself are so ethereal.
This has me in tears every time
Great Uncle Nicolas was wounded at the Somme and died back in England, aged 19. Least we forget the lions of England. RIP to all the fallen.
Rip uncle nicolas, one of the far too many who died
:(
I have never so much cryed for a movie... Feeling useless and weak during the whole movie because you can't help the characters plus thinking that... That situation happened and that was real... What a funny species human is... Killing for having ''peace''
I'm thinking of how tough my great grand father had to be in his teenage to go through all this.
Thanks everyone. He was a soldier in the British Indian Army. Served around the whole World.
Should be compulsory for everyone to know this, my granddad was there in France and the cold wet was alone bad enough to send you mad. It must have been hell.
My grandgrandpa fought with the french, i thought about him the whole movie
@@giuliorobertoful my 2 great grand fathers fought against Soviet and other 2 against Germany in ww2
My grandad's lived the first 6 years of his life during WW2, with his 11 siblings. I cannot even imagine myself going thru what he went through. It was horrible
Lot of people lived or fought in word wars, as an european, all my grand grandprents and older lived trough this. Still can't imagine.
This track makes me think of all the men who died in this war. Not to mention the civilians as well.
I start to weep just before the screen turns black, at that last shot of Schofield. 😭😭💔❤❤
He was a good man. Always telling funny stories.
:c oh lord, my heart :c
This particular piece of music has a very Ralph Vaughan Williams quality to it. He also composed music during the time of WWI.
The final scene got me teary eyed seeing Schoefield finally being able to rest and complete his objective absolutley beautiful music this movie is a masterpiece
Peace laying on a tree watching the sunset.
What a movie ❤️... My husbands great grandfather and great uncle were on that front line together. Part of the first wave. If that message hadn’t been delivered, I very possibly wouldn’t have the person I love most in my life... I wouldn’t be here and neither would so many others, if not for all of them. God bless those who fell and those who fought. Those poor brave souls. Those Sons, fathers, brothers and friends who defended, protected, delivered messages, tended to the fallen. All while being scared and brave, away from those they loved, unsure whether they’d ever make it home. God bless those who fell, those who made it home and those who suffered permanent trauma. Bless them all. I’ve never known more bravery, more sacrifice. It just leaves you speechless..... ❤️😞
Buddy, this film was a work of fiction..
M. Hamad it’s based on true events moron
@@swargpatel7634 Loosely based on stories told by Alfred H. Mendes. Still a work of fiction.
@@hamadnajam9853 Bitches caught lying compilation
Best movie to come out in a VERY long time
This was the last movie I saw in theatres before the March lockdown. Now, after everything that’s happened, I consider it a great gift and an honor to have this be the final movie I saw before the world changed forever.
The soundtrack really captures that feeling of knowing the character accomplished his mission, but it still came with a terrible and bittersweet cost.
What a tribute to the men who fought in this horrific war.I hope this younger generation takes the time to see this movie. May these men never be forgotten!
We won’t forget, good sir.
Some of us still keep our hearts and souls alive.
Thank you for reminding us to remember.
The violin solo just tugs on your emotions.Wow.So gorgeous.
Hans, Price and Howard... be attention, there's a Newman here.
Truly one of the greatest movies I’ve ever seen. I wish this had won the Oscar. It was brilliant.
The most emotional war film ever
What an incredible movie. When I first watched it in theaters, I was completely lost in the story from start to finish. My eyes watered, but I couldn’t cry once during the movie. The second the credits began, my tears finally fell. I couldn’t breathe, I couldn’t shout, I couldn’t even think. This movie does so well to keep you in the same mindset as any soldier during that time...Not thinking, just acting in any way to survive one more day. Without a doubt, one of the greatest movies of all time.
1:11 MISSION ACCOMPLISHED, GREAT JOB!
Stuff Thangs
“.....now fuck off lance corporal....”
“....well done lad....”
I hate mackenzi, but had to say his character portrayal was on point, all that suffering throughout his journey only to be told to fuck off .. is this guy even right in his mind ? At that one moment the movie put you in the shoes of the hero. Thanks to many of them we are now able to live comfortably now. We should not take it for granted.
I serve in 2nd battalion parachute regiment and I cried to this every time cause I love a and appreciate and respect the soldiers who fought and died for this I'm drunk but its only time I can be honest.
This is such a beautiful piece
One of the greatest movies and one of the greatest piece of music I ever witnessed in my life. Thank you to everyone who made this movie.
This is the same guy who did finding Nemo soundtrack and also finding Dory no wonder why I love this movie because of the soundtrack it’s so beautiful
Fax and Wall-E
Play this at my funeral, this song it's just PERFECTION
This movie means a lot for me my great grandfather (my dad grandfather) as Australian solider he fought in both wars
He was a lieutenant in the Somme and he was part the galipoli campaign he defended Sydney and stayed behind for six months to look after the pows the time he retired he was the brigadier General of the Australian Amy. He also had a letter from Winston Churchhill reason for that of unknown but I do know he saved horses which he was injured
He stayed for 6 months after the Second World War
This movie have themes of families and lost generation
Thomas Newman’s film scores always grab me.
Goes in the ear, stays in the head. 🎧
What a soundtrack!!!
The last scene of the film where Will is sat under the tree, surrounded by the maelstrom of golden hour sun and this score crescendos absolutely ruined me; I sobbed and sobbed like an insolent child. This score still touches me, not to the point of near hysteria and uncontrollable tears, but to a point where the mind is too emotional to even think, and small tears form in the eyes, but never decide to fall off the face.
They picked the right man to score for this film. This was one hell of a movie.
Starts with two figures at peace under a tree, going into chaos. Ends with one under a tree at peace escaping the chaos. It was a great way to wrap up a time of chaos with peace.
no matter how happy i am or if im in a good mood, everytime i listen to this masterpice i always cry at 3:00 and 3:48
The song, and the entire movie, reminds me of the video game, "Journey". Both are among the best of their respective media I've ever experienced.
my grandad James Henderson Mac Donald enlisted with his 2 brothers at the start of the war, all survived , he joined a highland regiment the Lovat Scouts being a gamekeepers son, in the Highlands of Scotland, he became a signaller and took the message the war was over, went on to be part of the occupying force in Koln after the war, my grandad came home and was a police constable in west Dunbartonshire for 30 years, including the luftwaffe bombing of my town Clydebank near Glasgow in 1941, he passed away in 1987 aged 90, James Macdonald 1897- 1987.
People like your grandfather. Born at the beginning of that century, living 90 plus years. I can’t imagine how weird looking back at your childhood would be considering how much changed during the 1900s.
@@Agentbat007 he was born during the BOER WAR and said he remembered the soldiers marching home , in 1897 year was born a VICTORIAN , but he could relate to me and my brother, he was a game old bugger, we loved him .
@Anasia Echavarria Thanks, he was a lovely man , a real grandad , was proud of him.
I just keep comming back to this tune.It,s just one of those near perfect song and where it sits in the film just makes it all the more beautiful and amazing.
I keep coming back for 3:04
2:50 is beautiful! This has to be one of my favorite score and film. The way the music just resonates during the credits is beautiful! Omg it would have been awesome to be a PA for the film or be there during sound recording. I would have cried.
_Avengers Endgame_ was great, but this was honestly the best movie of 2019 for me. This was such a unique and amazing film!
All of his journey, his mission
It wasn't for the glory, It wasn't for the medal
He just wanted to come back to his family, alive
This movie showed us war and beauty of nature at the same time and it’s hard not to fall in love with that 😍😍
What these poor young men had to go through … true bravery !!!!
I don't understand why on God's name Thomas Newman didn't win an Oscar for his masterpiece composition, also this movie should have won best picture... It's a masterpiece made by 3 legends... Sam Mendes, Roger Deakens, Thomas Newman... ❤️❤️❤️
I agree. But Parasite is a great movie too.
What a movie, what a music, such heartbreaking story, but brilliantly made...
My Grandad’s brother - Private Ryan of the Irish Guards and from Co. Tipperary, Ireland fought at the Somme. He was awarded the Military Medal for bravery after one battle, wounded in another and patched up and sent out to his death in Sept 1916. He was 20 years old. He is remembered on the War Memorial at Thiepval. Many Irishmen fought alongside the British as they had done for centuries in the British Army.
DoThisJohn DoThatJohn amen
Utter respect …lest we forget
The music and sound on this movie was on another level, just amazing
One of the greatest track i've ever listened in my entire life😭😭
After the past year and a half now that we're rounding the corner on the pandemic after so much horror and death and sacrifice, I keep coming back to this song.
this is at once both beautiful and sad...scores to a movie add to and shape the visuals...making the whole experience memorable and eternal...thank you Thomas Newman and the makers of 1917
This music can make me cry😥
when I watched this I stayed in my seat after the hole credits. I was not the only one. Powerful
This movie is so poetic.
This movie was haunting, and captivating! It can be compared to the greatness of Fury, and saving private ryan.
I think 1917 is a more moving film than Fury and Saving Private Ryan, although those films are also amazing.
Better than those.
