A mi juicio la mejor pelìcula sobre la Primera Guerra Mundial.

I've been putting this off for too long. Let me just start by saying that if you have any interest in seeing this film, purchase it now and watch it immediately. I have been blown away by the quality of this film, so much so that it's led me to just keep analyzing frames and shots and dialogue throughout the movie. Yes, it's just a WWI movie that takes place on one day in 1917, but it's a movie so packed with purpose and intention behind every little thing. It's astounding how much thought and time was put into making this film. It's truly a beautiful work of art that I may now regard as my favorite war film of all-time. You're immediately thinking of other, better war movies, and I'll agree that those are all great too, but 1917 is a true masterpiece of a film. Sam Mendes has done what you would think had already been done before in blockbuster war films, and that's to create an artificially "one shot" movie that follows our characters through the trenches of WWI without ever leaving them. It literally starts from the first frame and doesn't let you go, as you walk through trenches of mud and guts with these young men. The camera work is extraordinary, and whether or not you notice that there are no "cuts" or very deliberate shots, you'll see yourself mesmerized with the storytelling that this technique creates throughout the movie. There's so much to be said about the way this film is framed, and it helps to guide the viewer along on their journey with the main characters. I found so much purpose and meaning in things that weren't words being said by characters, and not even actions so much as the way things were being shown on the screen. I can't do this film any justice by talking about what it is about and the story and how it happens. It's just true beauty, it's outstanding work. I gave this movie a 9/10, and would have given it a perfect 10 had it made me cry at the end. This isn't a knock on the film, so much as a testament to the suspense it wrangles you with. The actors are phenomenal, and I love that we get to see 3 well-traveled actors make cameos throughout the film to give it some Hollywood weight. Do yourself a favor, buy the film and watch it. If you're blown away by the nerdy film stuff, watch the commentaries and you will be even more so enlightened. Though they will ruin where all of the cuts in the film are for you, they will highlight the technique of the film as you continue to wonder how a story could be so perfectly told on film through visuals in this way. This movie is not overrated and despite knowing that the visuals were the strength of the movie, I was still worried it would be over hyped and I'd be disappointed. I wasn't, and this is now one of my favorite films. It's truly a masterpiece, and one of the best war films ever made. The details of war are on full display and they never shy away from a shot. For all of the horror within, there is so much beauty in the story and just... WOW, watch the movie already!

La película es excelente. Sin embargo NO tiene subtítulos en Español. La culpa es mía por no revisar previamente el contenido, ANTES de comprarla!!!!.Ni modo!!!

Good film, but not remotely a great film. Mostly the plot is just so unbelievable. Mendes throws in everything but the kitchen sink...more a "Serious" Indiana Jones film than "Serious" film. Way too many things happen to one person...whose every shot is accurate, while everyone shooting at him manages to miss. I'm sorry, it's NOT a SERIOUS plot. It's all made up, with too much absurd action in mind. And the worst part, is that leads up to action just take so much time, while providing little more than "LEAD-UP" into the action.

La vi en el cine, antes de que el mundo entero se fuera al traste por el COVID-19, y fue la última buena película que vi en salas, y ahora que al fin salió, debía comprarla. Esta edición en bluray es muy buena y viene además en combo bluray+DVD (por si eso te interesa). Sí, tiene audio latino y subtítulos en español, y no te dejes guiar por algunas opiniones angloparlantes sobre la falta de "realismo" de la película. Lo que la mayoría de esas personas olvida es que el principal objetivo de una película es entretener, y además está basada en una historia real. Completamente recomendada.
