>>217362478yea, it was alright
>>217362478Yeah, it fucking owns.
>>217362478Good cinematography but ultimately limp wristed like most war movies.
>>217362478Same category of movie as Gravity for me, Video Game Carnival Ride. Fun, but no rewatch value or depth.
>>217362478First hour was good, but got boring so I switched it off around the second half
>>217362478Appreciate the effort needed to pull it off, movie is meh but longshots kick ass
>>217362979It's literally made for zoomers with poor attention spams.They turned WW1, the war about painstakingly grinding through weeks of newly-invented hells to advance just a few yards, into a dynamic and fluid action movie.
It felt like a video game with the main character wandering into setpiece after setpiece
>>217362478Would never watch.
>>217362478it was pretty good
>>217363048trenches weren't everywhere you know
>>217362478We still need a movie that actually goes into the complexities and intricacies of the trench systems. Most WW1 movies just pay it brief lip service before launching into some other BS.
>>217364563Then make a movie about the Brusilov Offensive. Brusilov. It's fun to say, but it wasn't fun. Heh that could be the movies tagline.
>>217362478What separates film from other forms of art is cinematography. This movie excels at cinematography, therefore is fucking good. I've watched it three times already because there's always a new detail in its blocking, composition and visual direction in general.
>>217362478I've watched it a few times. Overall, really good. It might be my favorite war movie as far as visuals are concerned.
>>217362478i compare it with dunkirk in my head cause they came out around the same time, dunkirk blows 1917 out of the water. i thought 1917 was pretty boring
>>217364922>therefore is fucking goodNope. It needs to tell a good story too.A novel isn't good because of the prose alone.
>>217366579There are, in fact, many novels that have very simple arguments but are elevated by style and conceptual deepness. And don't get me started on poetry.
>>217366665A good story doesn't need to be complicated. A good story could be basic and told with basic prose.
>>217362833Calm down, it wasn't THAT good.
>>217365611I thought both were pretty boring
>>217366851Is it better?
>>217362478The other guy in this was distractingly fat. Were you even allowed to be that fat in WW1 military? Why was he so fat? Did the director and other staff realize how fat he was when casting?
the formal constraints actually made for a compelling viewing experience and it really shone a spotlight on your own expectations for this kind of thing. many times I would hope for a cut so I could see what the character was looking at, then I realized that it's not that kind of movie, then you kind of adapt into a new way of seeing things. weirdly enough, maybe a less empathic way of making movies, since you learn not to put yourself in their shoes and see what they see, you're more like a ghost, surveying the scene
