Quote "It doesn't dwell on it," unquote (excerpt from the movie)
Yet the haunting memories of war linger, masterfully woven into the fabric of Sam Mendes' cinematic triumph, 1917. The film's technical virtuosity is awe-inspiring, with Roger Deakins' cinematography crafting an immersive, unbroken narrative that thrusts viewers into the trenches. Thomas Newman's poignant score perfectly complements the on-screen drama, elevating the emotional impact. The performances, too, are superb, with George MacKay and Dean-Charles Chapman delivering nuanced, heart-wrenching portrayals. 1917 is a masterpiece of storytelling, a visceral and unflinching portrayal of war's horrors, a messenger's(Thomas Newman) resilience, coping and finding a way to move forward despite adversity reminiscent of human spirit.
