My problem with the movie is that we're merely witnessing what these characters go through as opposed to feeling immersed in it, which all comes through with Mendes' direction when it should be paired with communicating how we should be feeling through the camera work. With Gravity, we literally go inside Ryan's helmet. With Birdman, the gliding of the camera gives the movie a dream-like atmosphere. 1917, for the most part, prioritizes covering all the action in master shots instead of drawing attention to more intimate, little details that would have made the movie far more intense.
1917 (2019)
Roger Deakins was the absolute highlight of this film by far, i really enjoyed it, saw it with a couple of friends, they liked it better than Dunkirk, i feel the climax of the film worked so well, it was truly a rush, but i still remember leaving the theater after Dunkirk, i was shaking, maybe a little bit bombshelled, 1917 wasnt as intense of an emotional experience for me, still superb, you cant go wrong with the Mendes-Deakins combo (although Deakins-Villeneuve is goat)
I really liked this movie. I loved the "continuous shot" trick they used. I felt that it made the story more immersive.
I saw this with a friend of mine who's not too much of a movie buff and he said that

This didn't make me feel anything new, but it was definitely a film which moved me. The one take didn't scream for attention.
The movie is v solid with some simply stunning moments. Same for the score. The standout moment being The Night Window.

Yeah. I don’t think it ever felt like it was hindering or interrupting the tension in any way, if anything, it felt like a really genuine approach to the morale of your average soldier of that time (pretty sure those types of convos are timeless lol).
