1917: I'm a history buff. I immerse myself when I have down time reading up on human conflict and strife through out our existence. As the years and decades past, I often wonder how often will we see material about The Great War being produced. I mean, we still get a ton of WWII content since that's been a little over 75 years ago, but WWI has become a footnote in terms of the 20th century wars fought on the world scale. 1917 was a great watch. I had caught They Shall Not Grow Old in 2019 and thought that was a fascinating watch. That was a real look at what it was like to be part of the conflict through stories and advancement in technology. 1917 was a cinematography masterpiece in the scope that it was shot and the emotions that it conveyed in the way it was shot. I know war movies tend to find the heroic trope and that it can become redundant (Saving Private Ryan comes to mind in this scope at the very least...) but the claustrophobic appeal of this story gave it a real solid appeal as though we'd probably see less and less of movies like this and others like All Quiet on the Western Front, Johnny Got His Gun and Gallipoli. If I were to rate it, I'd give it a 8/10.
