MOVIE REVIEW - 1917
I saw this movie the other day.
I thought it was terrific.
It's about two British Lance Corporals who must make their way across miles of battleground to deliver an urgent message that could save 1600 of their fellow soldiers from a massacre.
It was so realistic and goes on to show us how the men suffered such hardships fighting their way through all the mud and slush and dead bodies.
The music score was fantastic.
I came away very sad to think what those poor souls had to endure. No wonder they came away with 'war neurosis' and drinking problems. They never had councelling after, and many ended up in mental hospitals.
I give it a **** star rating.
A very immersive film Hola from all accounts. And you're not alone in singing it's praises.
