“1917” nævnes nu som én af award-sæsonens største Oscar-favoritter.
Sam Mendes’ kommende film sat under 1. verdenskrig beskrives nu som én af årets store biografoplevelser.
Fotograf Roger Deakins har optaget den som et ‘one shot’, så det ligner, at filmen på 110 minutter rent faktisk udspiller sig over præcis 110 minutter – uden synlige klip.
De første reaktioner på “1917” fremhæver da også “Blade Runner 2049”-fotografens imponerende billeder.
Samtidig fremhæves “1917” som en af de bedste moderne krigsfilm, hvilket placerer den som én af de store forhåndsfavoritter til Oscar-showet.

“1917” får dansk premiere d. 23. januar.
I've seen a lot of movies and know how they are made and I have zero idea how Sam Mendes and Roger Deakins pulled off the cinematography in #1917. It's a stunning cinematic achievement and easily the front runner for the Oscar in cinematography. Mind blown. pic.twitter.com/Cz1Gri9NqP

1917 is the most impressive cinematic achievement of the year. And yes, I’ve seen everything now except Cats and Richard Jewell. And I say this as someone who typically dislikes war movies. The shots/sequences are something I’ve never seen a director/DP pull off before.

1917 is not for the faint of heart. An unforgettable anxiety-inducing cinematic roller-coaster ride. Sam Mendes & Roger Deakins have outdone themselves. A truly unique war film that puts the viewer into the war & on the front lines. A must-see on the big screen. #1917Movie pic.twitter.com/HpIG2LOKrL

Aaannnndddd that's your frontrunner!
'1917' is the best war film since SAVING PRIVATE RYAN. The cinematography of the year. The cinematography of the decade. Thomas Newman's orchestral masterpiece. Sam Mendes gift to cinema…and his family. Every ounce is powerful.#1917Movie pic.twitter.com/EiwCTthAX3

Mendes’ excellent 1917 joins the race: Almost unfathomable that cinematographer Deakins and production designer Gassner don’t win second Oscars and composer Newman doesn’t win Oscar #1. Pic, director, original screenplay noms almost certain, wins possible. Acting noms possible. pic.twitter.com/H4sIizPUxP

Det betyder ofte, at historien er drønkedelig (ellers havde man jo fremhævet dén).
Det menneskelige drama i 1. verdenskrig er behandlet flere gange på film - mens den historiske behandling bliver overset (med Lawrence of Arabia som undtagelsen, der bekræfter reglen). Formentlig fordi det er så komplekst, men der ligger tusinder af interessante historier i 1. verdenskrig som i dén grad egner sig til "den store skærm" og episk drama osv.
