I had the great pleasure to watch the truly incredible piece of filmmaking, 1917, last week. ⁠⠀
Written and directed by Sam Mendes it tells a different kind of war story, not so much about two sides fighting, but a more intimate, human story that is not afraid to show the waste of human lives and materials used in war. The greatest cinematographer in the world @rogerdeakins , really did film it to look like one shot which pushes the audience into an intimate, rush-for-time journey across the battlefields of WWI. Incredible acting by everyone in this film, from Oscar nominated actors, to the extras, everyone had to be ready for that one shot. I had the pleasure of watching “Where Hands Touch” at the Toronto International Film Festival in 2018, and saw George McKay at the premiere, and I gotta ask where this man’s Oscar nom?! He carries this film almost literally on his back with minimal dialogue and a lot of running. While I am not a big war movie fan, but this film’s story and visuals are incredible and definitely deserve praise. Go see 1917 in theaters, it is worth it. ⁠⠀
