1917..
A gritty war drama.
ot captures the essence of the 1st world war.
from the horror of the trenches to mud filled shell holes skulls tays and the meat grinder of the war.. go see it.
A somber reminder
war is hell and world war 1 was the depths of hell...
10/10
Excellent movie.
Whoever did the 'continuity' piece of this needs whatever award there is for that.
Speaking as a purist geek this film absolutely nailed the period accouterments, the
look, and wasn't distracted in the least by it. Good story, well done.
But I am suffering from latent distraction by the detail. Maybe a past life remnant.
As an aside, a SMLE No.1 Mk.III is on my bucket list. A good friend has one in perfect condition all matching dated 1915 that was a
lamp in his family home for years until one day his Dad pulled the wires out and handed it to him. We still get together and bang away together with it and vintage 1920 m1903 Springfield I have.
A No.4 Mk.I Stevens-Savage Enfield would be an acceptable second choice. Just saying ... my birthday's in July .....
