I think Sam Mendes also probably thought that would be realistic so kept it in

this may explain the soldiers who apparently fell over so hard they simply died on the spot, which I try not to notice on repeat viewings

@@DaveDexterMusic well,if I lay here for a while then maybe they'll call of the attack and I will survive. It is not unreasonable

Guy on the right at 3:26 also spontaneously decides to stop living.

@@MathijsBuster Its very safe to assume a bullet hit him... You are aware bullets exist right?

My grief over the war finally exploded and everyone watched as I collapsed right in front of them but it wasn’t for very long

This is most best war film I’ve ever seen in my entire life

teared up and hyped at the same time

@@theQuietShow584 I loved this scene but little did I know that Woody.exe will be on this run 3 years later so I just joined Woody.EXE on the run

So did I, especially seeing the men crouched, ready to go over the top to almost certain death. I can sympathize with the crying captain.

Had to gather all the strength he could muster, it’s an amazing scene, he was moving purely on adrenaline at that point.

@@tochukwuudu7763 very much true

@@tochukwuudu7763 I need to do that to get my strength ready to do 1917 all night and it’s very tiring still. I’m very exhausted but I’ll never give up

@@rythmic8911 lmao

Were you running in this scene?

well done ! Are they all extras or some of them are digital ? How many extras ?

Hi, glad to be back here. Happy 2nd birthday 1917 ❤️

Though it's exciting to be part of a war period it must have been brutal considering the timed explosions and quick camera paces. Thanks a lot for your work.

@@priyachoudhary9896 I can’t imagine myself doing this. My mental health would have been absolutely ruined but I’ll never give up unless the war is by me

I will never forget it when everyone came over to help me as I had some sort of meltdown and I will remember how amazing they all were. Then me and my grandmother reunited with them for the movie a month later. I was so happy to see them again

My experience was kicking in when everyone had the guts to come and help me as I was losing it and my grandmother couldn’t do anything to stop it and she’s normally amazing at that stuff. A experience I’ll never forget

@Flare have you seen the movie? You don't seem to know what they're running into even though it's visible in the shot right before he enters the trench. Have you just watched this clip? Do you have any sort of idea of what it means to climb out of the trench? Do you even know what trench warfare is? If you did, you wouldn't have said those soldiers were "running into nothing". If you actually found this scene weak it's fine, but goddamn it you found it weak for all the wrong reasons.

Z✊🏻🇷🇺

@Flare have you? World War 1 ended in 1918, which is 104 years ago, dumbass. You know exactly what they were running into. Anyone who has the slightest knowledge about WWI does. The camera work is supposed to highlight not where Scho's run is headed (which would've been plain old grass) or where the soldiers' is (which would've been the enemy line); but the soldiers themselves, running straight towards their deaths. "Do you have evidence that you were in World War 1" has to be one of the fucking stupidest questions I have ever received in all my life, mainly because it would imply that I have ever claimed that I part-took in that conflict, which I obviously didn't because everyone who had is now long gone. Have you directed Saving Private Ryan and 1917? If you didn't your entire comment is invalid (see how dumb that sounds?). I have studied WW1 and know what attrition warfare is, which you obviously don't. I know exactly why, even before watching the movie, the "big push" Mackenzie organised couldn't have possibly worked, you obviously don't. I know things that you don't. Plain and simple. Do some research before critiquing a scene from a movie you simply did not understand.

@Flare what are you talking about this is one of the best scenes in cinematic history. Brings a tear to my eye every time

My great grandfather was born in 1917 and survived the Second World War. No wonder why I got my obsession on this amazing movie. Shame that I never got to meet him

He wasn’t a messenger he was given a medal for going into no man’s land and rescuing injured soldiers .

Where can I see the full video

@@paulanyichi5916 I assume by "video" you mean FILM.

@@drugsarebad97 Military Medal for Bravery under fire. It’s the 2nd highest honour in the British Army, after the Victoria Cross. My Great Grandfather also got one in the 2nd World War for running back into an ambush to drag his comrades out.

This whole scene did and everyone had guts to help me as I was breathing down. That’s when I noticed my mental health was reaching breaking point but everyone stopped it just in time before I took it on everyone else

He was shell shocked. His mind was gone at that point.

@@kr1dfy453 I felt awful for him but I was mostly worrying about Schofield not being able to make it on time and when he did; I was so reviled. I loved him from there

I served in Iraq where the militia would mortar us daily and some of the men just could not take it any more and broke down. The majority of them were older like this Captain with a wife and children back home and not knowing if the next bomb falling will land on you really hurts the mind. RIP to all the lads who fought in the horrific WW1 and to all the men such as this Captain. You're all heroes and we will remember you.

@@highstakes1235 With all due respect, now imagine how the civilians felt in Iraq, Libya, Afghanistan, and Syria when they constantly got bombed by American drones. At least you guys had your families safe back home.

I wouldn’t be surprised if you saw George Mackay doing this. I would have cried

@@nicolelawless3199 I didn't know who he was before this. We had a chat just like I would anyone else unknowing he was the main character. He's a sound lad and spend more time immersed within the extras rather than hiding away in his own air conditioned tent.

@@lane7230 Wow, it would’ve been an honour to meet George if I could and I’d tell him how amazing he did in my favourite movie ever

con un sottosuolo fatto di calcarenite biancastra, perche` con le esplosioni si hanno detriti di colore scuro ed incompatibili con la terra circostante? Alla vista dello spettatore rendono bene, ma e` decisamente un'errore.

@@lane7230 LOL, you are a great bullshitter. Deakin was one thing, don't tell me you had a chat with George too.

Agreed it really catches the eye and is very detailed

same here you two i will not forget this film especially the last film of the decade of the 2010's

It definitely goes up there with stuff like interstellar

I was 17 when my beloved 1917 came out and 6 months away from turning 18. I even watched the amazing movie on my 18th birthday after lockdown. Even my entire family I haven’t seen for years came over and they gave me a entire bottle of something to have but didn’t drink it in one hour which I could have

yea

Honestly is kill myself with my gun. No way im getting in there.

What do you mean by too expensive?? I didn’t think that each shot costed money.

@@SniperKitty678 it did.

Well, to be fair, it'd be a bit unrealistic if he managed to walk through all those troops without hitting at least one. So, for better or worse, I reckon it worked out.

@@SniperKitty678 cuz they're real explosions and the amount of actors there are make it more expensive

To me it adds greatly to this scene, because Scofield is already too late. When he falls over those men and the camera wheels further away, it’s time that he can’t lose, it’s no longer about saving all of them, it’s about saving any of them, the men in the first wave are already dead. That number? 1600 men? From the moment that whistle blows it’s counting down, faster and faster.

I absolutely loved it and saw it a 2nd time to celebrate it’s BAFTAs win

@Lorenzo Smit Thanks for the recommendations.

I recommend you go outside: it is an incredible one-take wonderland.

birdman is such an outstanding movie

Children of men

Watching 1917 on my 20th birthday today and Toy Story too. It’s the best birthday yet

Not seen saving private Ryan then

watch mini serie generation of war and watch platoon then

​@@SmegulonPrime or All quiet on the western front

@@SmegulonPrime Nothing compares to Come and See imho

I watched it with my grandmother and she loved it. Now I’m watching it on my 20th birthday

Also the bombing in Dunkirk

Then me, my 2009 Woody, Mummy and Woody.EXE’s epic battle with Jessie happened 3 years after 1917. It’s going to happen again since Jessie has come back

The landings in Saving Private Ryan.

I don’t think he’s indifferent, the responsibility of so many men rest on him he can’t become emotionally invested

@@brighterrecorder1645 You just described indifference.

@@Woodesies did I? It’s his job, same as a doctor if you think about it. Everytime he sends men over some of them are killed on his orders

It gives a new sense of urgency. Schofield finally made to the front line, but the soldiers are just about attack so Schofield is really on the clock now

Yeah. Emphasises the horror those guys are about to experience

I remember being so shocked at 1917 that I was truly shaking and revealing my true emotional colours that night. That’s when I finally revealed them to my mother and it really concerned her

So many men like him. All heroes going to the front to serve.

Those are actually the camera crews, they were put in uniform to blend in after the camera exchange

@@thisfaceisgreat That's a pretty cool solution.

Good catch, and someone already mentioned it, those are the camera crew.

It was something that could and did happen. Troops would crawl in to position in no man’s land prior to an attack

Critical thinking missing.

And most importantly, no glorifying of war

​@@zenniz1992most movies do glorify war though, very few dont.

I thought those airplanes could drop an order somewhere close behind the front line, making everything else unnecessary.

@@bojandolinar1535 if it doesn’t get intercepted by German planes.

@@bojandolinar1535What about wind ?

@@bartoszszmig8187 What do you mean?

@@bojandolinar1535 Dropping the order with a airplane would be more hassle , a lot more variable to count but i guess they can do it with a carrier pigeon.

It was so good that I had a meltdown. Everyone literally noticed it and then came over to make sure I was alright but I really wasn’t

Like Interstellar's Mountain, the ticking sound gave me anxiety, my heart was crying thinking every second passing hundreds of lives dead.

I cried like nuts because of how great my grief over the war really is

I had to hold back my tears at this and in atmosphete entry scene of Gravity...beatiful shots with beautiful score. Also some years ago I teared up at the end of Return of the King after watching all LOTR extended editions in row after so many years. Oh and there is this on scene in Up that also always makes me want to cry. Definitely certain scenes in movies have been more emotional for me than anything in any TV show or game so far, especially when seen on big screen with best possible audio experience, so thats why I still appreciate the cinema experience...for example this scene hits nowhere near as much on TV or phone screen as it did when I saw in theater

Little did I know I’d be yelling alert warning to college that Evil Woody was on the run and I immediately went with him

I was 17 when it came out and now I’m nearly 21. What a way to start 2020

Every second of this scene

I watch this scene at least 9 times a day because I’m very stressed out looking after my dogs puppies. Everyone even came over to help me during this scene whilst I was breaking down with emotion. Then hugged everyone after the movie and they helped me again because I think I was about to collapse right there but I was fine after 2 hours

lol they randomly stuck African men throughout the scene when none of these men would have been their in the English regiments

That was my cinema right there. Everyone even came over to help me as my emotional health issues reached breaking point for the first time since 2018 and Mummy finally knew what I was going through; it took her until 2020 for Mummy to bravely put the war in it’s place for everything it’s done to me. She is really an amazing mother

More like dying

How original.

the dumbest joke I’ve ever seen on comment sections, why do y’all keep doing it?

What? Wtf are you talking about. It's not a concert they are at

I remember having an anxiety attack in the theatre and everyone in my audience ran over to help. I was so loved back then and still am today 4 years on. Can’t believe it’s been that long

When I defeat my grief again because I don’t give up me

I love it though, I think the reason some people finds it not interesting is because of the pacing of the movie which was pretty slow for modern standard.

1917 is the best war film since Saving Private Ryan

I loved it and had a 1917 18th birthday and I still have all the stuff I had for my birthday and I will never get rid of it! I even brought the movie for my dad for Christmas in 2021 and he didn’t except it. I really hope he watches it

@@dannyzero692 it's a fast and cheesy Hollywood film lol

@@LanaaAmor Cheesy? Did we watch the same movie?

Aw ffs now I can’t watch the scene the same way 😂

@@monke7955neither I’m sorry 😭

Those 3 were actually part of the camera crew. They were dressed an infantrymen, yet had no weapons. Then had a *headstart* of running to blend in, but wasn't exactly seamless.

@@aleccross3535 Yeah in some BTS they showed those three guys hanging the camera onto a cart and then had to try blend in with the attack as they couldnt have gotten out of the shot otherwise

Camera crew are deserting

It was 4 years ago, everyone in my audience noticed I had passed out and they come running over to help out. I came around in time for this scene and I was screaming for Schofield to make it; I’m still so loved today because my respect for the war totally moves people. I totally regret falling out with the First World War like it destroyed it but it really didn’t deserve to be yelled at by me. I’ve been trying to rebound with the First World War ever since but it just hasn’t worked

I remember having some meltdown and everyone came running over to calm me down but I was so stressed that I almost passed out but i regained my strength back again. A bit much for a 17 year old me in 2020

1917 is pretty close but saving private Ryan will never be unbeatable. The Normandy scene is better

I wouldn’t have lasted a minute in this scene but my love for those who died in the war is very intense. No wonder I became so loved at only 15, I’m 20 now and still loved by many today

Actually the soldiers didn't have a choice. They were forced to go over the top whenever they were liked it or not. If they refused they could be executed for 'treason'

You either charge or get shot as a coward, mercilessness disguised as acts of bravery

Damned by enemy fire if they went over, damned to firing squad if they didn't. Horrifying.

@@rstein926 I know they didn't go 'willingly', but even so, the courage it would take to still run towards an enemy trench is quite something

If only they had the courage to bayonet the officers and politicians who ordered them to their death instead..

@@lasselippert3892 The officers would just be replaced by more of the same. The politicians were voted into office. Unless the soldiers plan to overthrow the government and start a military dictatorship, there's nothing they can really do about the situation.

@@lasselippert3892 Courage doesn't work that way buddy. Courage is joining what you believe is a just cause at the time and fighting with your friends to the very death, not staying home and being a coward. Obviously us enlightened ones now know the war was complete garbage and staged to bring about the demise of European nations and kill millions of young Christian men however, those poor and BRAVE souls did not know this at the time. RIP to all of them. Must take a lot of courage to go over the top into certain death.

1) I’m not your buddy, guy! 2) while the individual soldier in the trenches might have shown a great deal of personal bravery, millions of poor and working class men dying over nationalistic fervor, and the imperialistic ambitions of monarchs and politicians, is a goddamn human tragedy. Doing away with their oppressors would have been a far more courageous and respectable decision, than machine gunning and mustard gassing the poor saps in the opposite trench.

@@lasselippert3892 you do realize that civil wars which were done to accomplish exactly what you mentioned are the highest cost in human lives than most wars are.

The support I got from the entire audience was amazing. Then me and my grandmother reunited with them again for 1917 a month later and they knew I was going to have another meltdown. I hope to reunite with them before 2023

It would have been better if I was there because I’m the real Wonder Woman

Well since it's based on Sam Mendes's grandpa I think Schofield survived but with PTSD

@@guts-141 I get horrible panic attacks thinking about 2020 and Prince Philip’s unexpected death last April. I grieved until August 2021 and that was the longest grieving period ever. I hope my mental health never gets this bad again
