    Storyline

    Edit

    Did you know

    Edit
    • Trivia
      Sir Sam Mendes (director) and Lee Smith (editor) stated that, despite the apparently continuous shot (broken only by one interval of unconsciousness), actually dozens of "invisible" edits were made, concealed by transitions through black, moves behind objects, and so on. According to Mendes, the shortest unbroken shot was 39 seconds long, while the longest single continuous shot was 8-1/2 minutes long.
    • Goofs
      A bomb going off a couple feet away from the two soldiers inside a small underground bunker would deafen them, probably permanently. It doesn't affect them at all, not even a ringing in their ears.
    • Quotes

      General Erinmore: [quoting Rudyard Kipling] Down to Gehenna, or up to the Throne, He travels the fastest who travels alone.

    • Crazy credits
      The opening logos are shortened and tinted blue.
    • Alternate versions
      In India, the film received multiple verbal cuts in order to obtain a U/A classification. Also, two anti-smoking video disclaimers and a smoking kills caption were added. This version also features local partner credits at the beginning and an interval card after Schofield is hit.

    An achievement
    It's a stunning watch from start to finish. The amount of work that went into this film alone deserves your attendance, and even then, the story never stalls, and has a fair balance between war and humanity, and has some of the most incredible camera work I've seen in a while. It's hands down my favorite film of 2019.
