‘1917’ by Oscar winning director, Sam
Mendes, is all about what World War I demanded; unthinkable sacrifice—calling
upon a tested generation’s honor, duty and fidelity to the country. The impact
of the war, and particularly its effect on the young soldiers asked to rise up
and defend their homelands.
The
film portrays the long drawn urge that soldiers have to meet their families;while
they are at the borders defending the country. The holiday season isemotionally
difficult for the soldiers as there is little to no hope of reconciling with
their loved ones. The film celebrates the unsung tales of such great soldiers. The
spirit of Christmas is truly the bravery and zest they carry in their
hearts.Mendes through his film ‘1917’
makes it possible for the common man to understand the struggles of what
soldiers go through. It is because of them and their sacrifice, that many
homes, families, and citizens can enjoy the celebratory season safely within
their respective countries. The film also resonates with the true spirit of
Christmas.
‘1917’
tells the story of two young British soldiers at the height of the war starring
George MacKay as Lance Corporal Schofield and Dean-Charles Chapman as Lance
Corporal Blake who are given a seemingly impossible task to deliver a message
deep in the heart of enemy territory that, if successful, would potentially
save the lives of 1,600 British soldiers. For Blake, the assignment
is deeply personal; his brother is one of the 1,600 men who will die if they
fail.
