My '1917' Review: cool photography and CGI. Like '300' but dialed back 95%. Excellent immersion. You're in the trenches. Well done 1917 sets, I thought.. A bit gory (Dead guys everywhere). Draft beer in movie theaters is good but then you have to pee halfway thru the war. Need subtitles to translate from Brit. See it on big screen. Don't sit near farters. I liked the movie. Haven't fact-checked it but it appears something like this event happened.

  an acknowledgment given to a WWI veteran relative for all his accounts. I presume much of the film are his stories stitched together.
  
  Grab a copy of 'They Shall Not Grow Old' in order to contrast all WWI movies. '1917' is Disney compared to the real thing.
