Here is My Movie Review of 1917

So basically what happened is that it tells the real life story of Lance Corporal Schofield and Lance Corporal Blake who fought in World War I and they have To enter into enemy territory in order to save 1,600 of their fellow comrades and to fight the Nazis It is up to Lance Corporal Schofield and Lance Corporal Blake Protect their Fellow comments and take down the Nazis and survive World War 1 and that is basically what the story is for this film. 

The acting in this movie is terrific. I still think everyone does an Excellent job as the characters. 

However the absolute big stand out of the entire film is George McKay as Lance Corporal Schofield. What makes Lance Corporal Schofield such a wonderful character is that he really wants to Save all 1,600 of his Fellow Comrades and fight and survive against the Nazis in World War I. Probably the best moment with Lance Corporal Schofield  Is where he and Lance Corporal Blake  are walking through the trenches and not only is it really intense by main sense because in real life during World War I  lots of soldiers have to walk through the trenches to avoid getting killed by the Nazis during those times. It is probably the most powerful moment in the entire film. Also I can tell George McKay had a lot of fun playing this character. The chemistry between him and Dean- Charl Chapman, Mark Strong, and Richard Madden  is still fantastic. 

Dean- Charl Chapman plays Lance Corporal Blake In the film. I have to say he still does a remarkable job as the character. What makes Lance Corporal Blake Sunshade incredible character is that much like his friend Lance Corporal Schofield. He also wants to R\rescue all 1,600 of their fellow comments and Fight the Nazi and survive World War I. Probably the best moment with Lance Corporal Blake Is where he and Lance Corporal Schofield Are navigating  In the war by walking in the mud and not only is it really suspenseful but it made sense because in real life in World War I soldiers had to walk through the mucky water in order to avoid being seen and killed by the Nazis. It is probably the strongest moment in the film. The chemistry between him and George McKay Is spectacular 

Mark Strong plays Captain Smith in the film. I have to say he still does a terrific job as the character that makes Captain Smith such a spectacular character is that he along with The rest of his comments has to survive World War I and defeat the Nazis. Probably the best moment with Captain Smith is when he tells  Lance Corporal Schofield that has to move on and not only was it really emotional but it made sense because in real life he had to move on and get over the loss of his best friend Lance Corporal Blake. It is probably the saddest moment of the entire film. Fun fact Mark Strong previously played the villain Doctor Sivana In the movie Shazam which also came out in 2019. The chemistry between him and George McKay Is excellent. 

 Richard Madden plays Lieutenant Joseph Blake In the film. I have to say he still does an outstanding job as the character. What makes Lieutenant Joseph Blake Such a Marvelous character is that he, much like the rest of the soldiers, wants to take down the Nazis and survive World War I. Probably the best moment with Lieutenant Joseph Blake Is where  Lance Corporal Schofield tells him that his brother Lance Corporal Blake was killed by a biplane and not only is it really sad but it made sense because in real life that is how Lance Corporal Blake  died in World War I. It is probably the most heartbreaking scene of the entire film. Fun fact 2 years after the film was released Richard Madden will go on to play the main villain Ikaris in Eternals The chemistry between him and George McKay is fabulous. 

    Fun fact this was my second Richard Madden movie I have seen because the first movie I've seen him in was in the 2015 remake of Cinderella  and he was really great as the Prince and ever since then I've been wanting to watch more of his stuff. Then I watched him in the movie Eternals and he was awesome as the character of Ikaris and ever since then I've been wanting to watch more of his films. 

But the best thing about the entire movie in the directing by Sam Mendes Is exquisite because why love about his directing is that he does a flawless job of depicting the tragedy of World War 1 because in real life It is known to be a one of the most tragic warns in history because we have lost a lot of soldiers to the Nazis. I also like how he gets the true story of Lance Corporal Schofield and Lance Corporal Blake  Of how they both had to survive in World War I and fight the Nazis and survive. I still get this Tremendous of how he did that. I also love how he was able to do scenes in one take to get the feeling of war really accurately. 

So in conclusion I still love this movie. This is up there with Hacksaw Ridge as one of my favorite war movies. The way it depicts the real life events of Lance Corporal Schofield and Lance Corporal Blake really accurate to real life. This is easily in my top 10 favorite movies of 2019. This is also up there with Avengers End Game as one of the best movies of 2019. I highly recommend the film especially if you like Guy Ritchie's The Covenant which stars Jake Gyllenhaal. Then I'm sure you're going to like this one. I give this movie a 10/10.
