The new movie has left critics astounded by the use of one extended shot to reveal the true horror of the First World War.
,"I appreciate resisting The Narrative™ on this one is going to be like paddling with Canute, but 1917 is presented in two distinct 'shots'. There's an obvious cut to black after about 1hr 10mins that takes us from daytime to the middle of the night."
Despite 1917 technically being a 'two-shot' movie, Deakins found himself thinking a lot about one-shot movies of the past, with the Oscar-winning cinematographer tellingthat he thought most often about, though more for the problems of the film, which is actually 10 cuts hidden by, for example, zooming into a dark surface, cutting and then starting the next shot on the same surface., I must say...
However, Mendes manages to avoid this by using the extended shots to express the pure horror of trying to survive in the trenches of the First World War. Speaking toabout this, Mendes said,"It felt like the best way to give you a sense of all this happening in real time. I wanted you to feel like you were there with the characters, breathing their every breath, walking in their footsteps. The best way to do that is not to cut away and give the audience a way out, as it were.
Rather than filming in a real unbroken shot, something that would be all but impossible with a film that covers so much ground, the film is actually made up of a selection of extended slots, carefully choreographed to appear like an unbroken shot once they are digitally stitched together.), the experience was mostly one of frustration.
