1917 is something different and needs to be enjoyed with a different point of view.ġ917 is available in-store and online nationwide but you can also win one of two copies of 1917 Blu-Ray in 4K Ultra HD here at Craving Tech. Note also that there aren’t many war scenes like Saving Private Ryan, Hacksaw Ridge, and a few other war movies you might watch. However, this definitely creates a slower pace and for those who just want to jump straight into actions, 1917 might not be the movie for you. It is something different, and definitely can keep you immersed as you experience all the tensions and emotions like being there yourself. The result, is a movie that takes you as a non-stop journey of Schofield and Blake from the start to finish, “without cuts” (apart from him getting knocked unconscious until night fall).

It is definitely super complex (feel free to watch How ‘1917’ Was Filmed To Look Like One Shot | Movies Insider after you’ve finished watching the movie). Most single takes are also long enough (like 5 minutes) that they need to take into account almost everything: lighting, weather, moving from one type of camera to the next, and so on. However, there are definitely lots of tricks, advanced & careful planning, plus the craftiness of the whole crew which made all these possible.

The movie was made as if it’s a single, continuous shot throughout the whole movie – which of course, is almost impossible to achieve. But what can I say? The movie did win a few oscars, in “Best Achievement in Cinematography”, “Best Achievement in Visual Effects”, and “Best Achievement in Sound Mixing”!

I watched the movie with my wife over the weekend and I was personally amazed at the cinematography. The film is directed by the Oscar-winning director of Skyfall, Spectre and American Beauty, Sam Mendes.

But the 4K format is not the only thing that will keep you smiling here, it also includes many bonus contents that you would not be able to see in the cinema.ġ917 focuses on two young British soldiers, Schofield (George MacKay) and Blake (Dean-Charles Chapman), at the height of the First World War who are given a seemingly impossible mission. With 4K format, you can enjoy the movie on the big TV like our Samsung 65″ with Focal Chora 806 speakers and AudioEngine S8 Subwoofer in full glory.
