The character he played was the true definition of a great leader. Yes it was..he came a long way from Silver Spoons! Loved the part where he refused to ride back with the General so he can ride back with his men. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Watching that movie should be a requirement for kids in school IMO. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I saw a reference to this movie on a website comments section, checked Netflix, which didn't have it available, and then some days later stumbled on to it when it was on. It's cult classic. Effects back then were basic. The actors were B-movie actors. But what made it enjoyable for me was that it's on to something. (Even Huxley & Orwell & Bradbury couldn't predict our dystopian world to the T.) If you get this, you might better understand the anger. Must see.

It seems to me that a great tale could be woven of it's inception. I know I would find that more interesting than another account of all the suffering and death. That has all been well covered.

Such mental doodling reminds me of you, lol. the epidemic was in 1918 so you want to switch out one "suffering and death" for another. Hollywood made those movies, and I guess they don't sell. dying in quiet by an unknown, silent killer can't compete with bravery along with the best and worst humanity has to offer Kant was a bit more than a mental doodler. he was your creator. when you hit your knees every night to thank Joe Pseci or the sun, say thanks to Kant, too, for his desire for a perpetual peace, his internationalism, his laying the foundations for post-modernism, and his crushing Romanticism. Plato knew there are bad guys out there, and scarce resources. wars, myths, and the magic and mystery of life--they seem to work better than totalitarianism and Robespierre and identity politics 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bormio Posted January 20, 2020 Report Share Posted January 20, 2020 I saw 1917 tonight and thought it was excellent. It is one of the new-style war movies that focus on a limited personal viewpoint rather than a retelling of a battle. If you like the latter, you might not like this movie as much. I think it succeeded where Dunkirk failed because it did not try to do too much - it simply told a poignant story. I think the continuous shoot worked very well - it served to keep all the attention on the story, and it heightened the drama. I think it captured the real feel of what WW1 was like - the way Saving Private Ryan did for D-Day. Finally, the date mentioned in the movie - 4/6/17 - was a hugely significant date in the war. It was the day the United States entered the war. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure I would have seen that coming. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Many of the older movies have more in them then you might think... Try watching the original "Planet of the Apes" with an eye on comments like "God made Ape in God's image".... They used to be loaded with thoughtful points.... but don't bother looking for anything like that in the remakes. 🤷♂️ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
