1917: Movie scenes.

[Buckeye_Democrat]

I streamed the movie "1917" on demand earlier, and the below scenes gave me goosebumps, starting at about the 1:30 mark. Wonderful cinematography and music!

Very good movie overall too!

4. It won an Oscar for best cinematography...

... (among other wins) which seems well-deserved. I can't imagine another movie could match it in that regard last year.

Surprised that Thomas Newman didn't win best musical score. Nominated with no win, yet again!

2. I watched it Friday. Really liked it. I had read about the single shot

cinematography, or whatever they call it. Plus, my small dairy farmer granddad drove a truck in Germany during WWI.

I really enjoyed it. It captured the horrible nature of trench warfare without being too gory.

7. Great movie.

I loved writer/director Sam Mendes' dedication at the end.

And how the hell did they do that waterfall scene?

8. So much of that movie was visually astonishing!

It was cool that it was based on his grandfather's WW1 story.

"It wasn't until his mid-70s that he decided he was going to tell the stories of what happened to him when he was in his teenage years," Sam Mendes says. "And there was one particular story he told us of being tasked to carry a single message through no man's land in dusk in the winter of 1916. He was a small man, and they used to send him with messages because he ran 5 1/2 feet, and the mist used to hang at about 6 feet in no man's land, so he wasn't visible above the mist. And that stayed with me. And that was the story I found I wanted to tell."
