Sam Mendes<\/strong> returns you to World War I with 1917<\/strong>, his new epic featuring George MacKay<\/strong>, Dean-Charles Chapman<\/strong>, Mark Strong<\/strong>, Andrew Scott<\/strong>, Richard Madden<\/strong>, Claire Duburcq<\/strong>, with Colin Firth<\/strong>, and Benedict Cumberbatch<\/strong>. The film pursues two British fighters determined to convey a message that will stop an assault and spare a huge number of lives.<\/p>\n

You wouldn’t know it from this trailer, yet 1917 is intended to unfurl in one long, constant shot. Director Sam Mendes<\/strong> and cinematographer Roger Deakins<\/strong> endeavored to produce the whole film in one long take<\/strong>, and many are… somewhat bewildered about why the trailers aren’t playing this up, since it’s one of the all the more intriguing components behind the motion picture. Be that as it may, this trailer is stacked with cuts \u2013 parts and loads of cuts. Yes, a trailer should be paced in a specific method to energize an audience, yet, you’d think there would be some trace of the one-shot set-up here.<\/p>\n

\u201cI felt this movie should be told in real time,\u201d Mendes said.\u00a0 \u201cEvery step of the journey, breathing every breath with these men felt integral and there is no better way to tell this story than with one continuous shot.\u201d<\/p>\n

In 1917, \u201cAt the height of the First World War, two young British soldiers, Schofield (Captain Fantastic\u2019s George MacKay) and Blake (Game of Thrones\u2019 Dean-Charles Chapman) are given a seemingly impossible mission. In a race against time, they must cross enemy territory and deliver a message that will stop a deadly attack on hundreds of soldiers\u2014 Blake\u2019s own brother among them.\u201d<\/p>\n

While World War II has already been covered many times on film, World War I has had just a sprinkling of true to life stories, which makes 1917 more intriguing than the normal war flick. That, combined with the one-shot component, may be sufficient to put this one over the top.<\/p>\n
