i write movie essays when im drunk, heres one of them. written a few weeks back:
1917. one of the best movies. people like to say its running scene is the most iconic scene in the movie, thats it is the best scene but i have to disagree. its the build up to this scene that is the best part. seeing the thrband utter horror of the world around you. it doesnt romanticize war like other movies do. Saving private ryan is a perfect example of this, they get shown as heroes, while in this movie you see the fear of two young men wanting to help themselves sonthey can get home safely.
Blakes need to save his brother so him and his mum wont have to got through the grief and horror that comes along with it and schofield need to be done with the war before he can return home. its a movie about love, it show these young mens love for the other side, for people, for their families. it has so many layers and it portrays it in suxh a beautiful and heartbreaking way. seeing the love and hearing the live schofiles has for blake during blakes last moments. seeing the colour drain from his fave, the far gone burning of the barn that neither pay attention too. how out of place they seem compared to the beautiful blossoms trees, the blue sky and the green grass. the day was as perfect as any war day coukdve been until the nazi stabbed blake. seeing how horrible schofileds experiences are after hes no longer doing it with blake. the feeling he has if drowning in his own thoughts and actuons. the death scene is the most beautiful and terrifying scene in the whole movie, maybe not the most iconic but definitely the most beautiful one. it is unmatched
obsessed where stories where it is like. the mistakes are unfixable and the worst thing that could happen happened and nothing can go back to how it was. but there was still love in this and love will continue after this and love endures always. - @currentlycryingaboutlancelot
