War drama by Sam Mendes. April 6, 1917. WW1. Two soldiers are tasked with carrying a message to the front lines to call off the attack in order to avoid falling into a trap and sparing the lives of 1600 men.

Technically good, but the story is so ridiculously full of conveniences that it's unbelievable. Just send a plane around enemy occupied territory to deliver the message a few miles further and the matter would be resolved in 5 minutes instead of the 120 of droughting boringness and nobody needed to die. Some say the music accompanies the film well. What music? I didn't even noticed it. I don't know why but stupid movies are now the norm for good, Oscar-worthy movies. And it won 3 of them! How far down have we come!
