Letโs be honest. Iโm not a war movie kinda person.
I donโt stroll into a movie theatre and tell my fiance, โHey babe, letโs watch people blow each other up for two hours.โ

But this movie, this was different. And I only know a couple of war movies that have had such a profound impact on me, such as Hacksaw Ridge and Saving Private Ryan.
#MovieMonday: 1917: Comparable To Hacksaw Ridge

Hereโs the synopsis:
The film is based in part on an account told to Mendes by the producer (Sam Mendesโ) paternal grandfather, Alfred Mendes. It chronicles the story of two young British soldiers during World War I in the spring of 1917 who were given a mission to deliver a message. It warns of an ambush during a skirmish soon after the German retreat to the Hindenburg Line during Operation Alberich.
And hereโs the trailer:
Letโs be honest, war is on everyoneโs mind right now, at least for most of us. The tension between countries are rife so itโs no wonder, hence watching a war movie seemed apt for some reason.
But what about the reviews?
