A FEW THOUGHTS ON THE FILM ‘1917’

‘1917’ Turns a Horrific War Into an Uplifting Hero’s Journey
World War I was a disaster, but Sam Mendes’s Oscar-nominated epic paints a dangerously misleading picture of the conflict.

By Cathy Tempelsman
Ms. Tempelsman is a writer.

I was looking forward to seeing Sam Mendes’s film “1917” when it arrived in theaters in December. I have a special interest in the subject — my grandfather fought in World War I, and I’ve done years of research on the events while writing a play about the war.

I can’t argue with Mr. Mendes’s artistry. Visually and technically speaking, “1917,” which is nominated for 10 Academy Awards, is dazzling. The filmmaking team cleverly manages to make the entire movie seem like one long, continuous take, and I, like many viewers, found myself wondering how certain scenes were shot.

The director’s own grandfather inspired him with stories about volunteering to run messages across open, war-ravaged terrain. In an interview, Mr. Mendes said that “1917” called for “a different kind of storytelling.” He described the “Great War” as “a chaos of mismanagement and human tragedy on a vast scale.”

If only he had told that story. Instead, “1917” left me uneasy. Mr. Mendes paints an uplifting and dangerously misleading picture of the war.

10 keer genomineerd voor een Oscar, maar heeft er maar 3 gekregen. Wellicht toch niet zo goed als gedacht ...

Schone film.
Cinemagrafisch zeer goed in mekaar gestoken.

Vind het wel een gemiste kans, de ellende van de gewone soldaat komt veel te weinig aan bod.
Dood, gewond, pijn, slijk, kou, angst, ziekten, heimwee, doodsgevaar, kortom alle ellende van de gewone piot komt niet zo veel aan bod.

Maar wel een goeie film om te bekijken, de 2 uur waren zo om.
