'1917' IS A HAUNTING, TECHNICAL MARVEL AND ONE OF HOLLYWOOD'S BEST WAR FILMS

摘要

This article contains no spoilers. It is no stretch to call "1917" one of the most impressive and cinematically innovative war films ever made. The movie inspired by Oscar-winning director Sam Mendes' own grandfather's World War I autobiography is a technical marvel that renders a characterization of "immersive" a gross understatement. Fooled by a German illusion of retreat in which the enemy withdrew its forces to the Hindenburg Line, the Brits are readying to strike hard, unaware they are advancing into a reinforced meat grinder.
