George was amazing but Dean really embodied Blake so well, you could really feel how he was just a kid who saw war as he was told to see it : a chance to show your bravery and come back to your family with honor. I think his love for his brother is what made the pace of the movie so interesting, and also one of the things that kept Schofield moving forward. Scho looks for Blake's brother with as much determination as he did bringing the letter to Mackenzie. Lovely actors, lovely story.
I did wonder about those accidental collisions during the running scene near the end of the movie. The first extra didn't get up after falling and I wondered what he was thinking, like, "Oh crap, I ran into the main actor. I'll just stay down so I don't call attention to myself." The second extra that got ran into got back up and continued. They really added to the chaotic energy. Happy accidents.

Cinematography and Sound, definitely. Editing is a different matter as the Academy didn't embrace "Birdman"'s "one take" editing, plus it seems Thelma Schoonmaker is a shoo-in for her fourth Oscar with Scorsese for "The Irishman".
@@AngelofMusic04 damn you right, but if there's a time to give editing award to a "one take" film - this is it. Even though I love Thelma's work for Irishman
the movie is designed to be like one shot and is set over a smaller period of time then usual in a film. it's literally a movie about a few hours, one set moment which isn't done often. considering the movie is set over a few hours, i think it has good enough character development, but we never really need to know much about the characters, just what they are doing. they won't be able to have real character development when something is set for just under a day. and the story is literally about trying to save 1600 men, that is the story
A masterpiece. A brilliant film that shows the horror of war. Young men who were wounded and killed because old men wanted to hold on to power and increase their empires.
It just blows my mind that if his grandfather was 17 in 1917, then that means he is EXACTLY a century older than me. And i feel like people overestimate the difference between people back then and people now. Like we all the same people, just living in a completely different time lol
An amazing film. I wonder if the young woman with a baby was one of Sam's grandfather's stories. Through random chance and opportunity a soldier was able to give her food and supplies in a life or death situation. It was as if he was meant to be there at that exact time for them. The scene has stuck with me, among other scenes of this movie, but it probably didn't even have to be in it. Although to me it made the film even more enjoyable. I'd like to imagine she and the baby survived, and went onto live rich meaningful lives. It'd be a great spin off ... a 1917 story! There could be a lot of spin off stories from 1917. We briefly met so many fascinating characters, their war stories would be incredible to watch too.
All due respect to Parasite - a truly amazing film - but it's an utter travesty that Sam Mendes didn't win the Oscar for best achievement in directing.
It's a shame that Spectre's 3rd act was so rushed. Sam is such an incredible filmmaker. That film could've been amazing if he had more time with his script before filming
This film didn't have the luxury of most films of being able to cut to different scenes to help build the story and the characters, so it wasn't the best film story-wise, but everything else was a masterpiece, so this film needs a best picture nomination.
We we're treated like animals because we were animals.. word's from a first world war soldier.bertram welby ....I would not make a statement up like..this.
“Fighting for a free and unified Europe.” Is Sam on acid? No one, on any side, would recognise that as what they were fighting for. Freedom, possibly, but the idea of a unified Europe was non existent in 1917. Britain and France were world empires for starters. The only country even vaguely trying to unify Europe was Germany. Pity, he has said this several times now, and rather devalued a magnificent film with this moronic statement.
lawrencegough perhaps he meant a Europe united in peace and harmony, rather than one with its countries at war with one another every few years like how it was then, and not in the manner of a political union.
@@kevlow9494 and also it tackled a very important problem with the world just in a very basic and unfulfilling way. Parasite really handled the Rich vs Poor topic far better
Interesting take from Mendes at the end about a unified Europe. As a brexit voter, the opposite sentiment would apply for me: the nationalism of empire which is now replicated by the EU vision, is what created the conditions for WW1: brexit was the fight against the divisive empire building of the EU; and instead was about the freedom of ordinary people to hold politicians to account and look outward to the world. Maybe the rich and powerful like Mendes just don't know how it feels to be powerless. Fascinating how interpretation of events is influenced by one's own individual experience.
@@rivaxbcz9227 privately educated people have disproportionate power and opportunities in the UK due to the class system. The rich are always powerful.

This was one of those rare mistakes that helped to improve the scene, like Leo's hand injury in Django unchained and the cab scene in midnight cowboy
1917 will guarantee all technical awards especially cinematography, editing, and sound

not to discredit everything else about this movie because it was all fantastic, but the sound was phenomenal!!
dark jedi they didn’t get nominated for editing though (even though I think it should’ve been)
Is music and sound same category? Coz the wayfaring stranger song definitely deserves one too
The movie blowed my mind. Hands down, the one of the best movie I watched.
How? It's a fine movie,but what's special about it?
@@premaritalbread6824 legit it has cool effects, but there is no real story or character development

This film was just marvelous. It's just as simple as that.
This should win best picture.
Parasite is way better
Parasite was great but Once Upon should take it.
i believe little women should win the best picture, but this should win all the technical awards. goodness grief what an exceptionally made film.
@@MozzieMutant no Parasite is overrated. 1917 is better !!!!!!!
Raphael Sarkissian without the one shot element it would just be another war film
Mr. Mendes, I have so much respect for you. I think you are one of the best filmmakers working today.
There's no question, he is one of the best visual storytellers.
Yeah I loved American beauty
A masterpiece. A brilliant film that shows the horror of war. Young men who were wounded and killed because old men wanted to hold on to power and increase their empires.

Brilliant breathtaking visceral and immersive film!
On another note, George's socks are a delightful colour
How did you even notice his socks? lmao
Raise Your Hands Those Who Came By George Mackay

Best film of the awards season.

Lee Smith: No Oscar nomination for me !!
George is a talented actor👍 . As well soo handsome and cute.😍❤❤💖
George Mackay is my new crush though I'm older than him...😛

totally agree. he won in other ceremonies : Golden Globes, Bafta, Critic choice. It's good.
Isn't it weird how they always end up saying something smart, I would get scared and just smile hahaha
Sam mendes is genius director.
Please give this Score! It’s my favorite from Thomas Newman, and I’m not a huge fan of Newman’s work btw.
It's a shame that Spectre's 3rd act was so rushed. Sam is such an incredible filmmaker. That film could've been amazing if he had more time with his script before filming
best cinematography! (update on 10/02/2020, they won!!)
Now i know why it won golden globes..It should win the oscars as well.
Fuck, i´m in love. George i love you.
Sam Mendes's film making reminds me eerily of Christopher Nolan.
The Logomaker visually. The massiveness of his films are just visually stunning
fuck yeah i think he'd like the comparison; both make really great movies!
This film didn't have the luxury of most films of being able to cut to different scenes to help build the story and the characters, so it wasn't the best film story-wise, but everything else was a masterpiece, so this film needs a best picture nomination.
