Come join us this Saturday for a screening of 1917, nominated for Best Picture, Director, and Original Screenplay. Shot in one-shot style, with cinematography by legendary Roger Deakins, this film demands a watch on the big screen.
Summary: In the height of the First World War, when two young British soldiers, Schofield (Captain Fantastic's George MacKay) and Blake (Game of Thrones' Dean-Charles Chapman) are given a seemingly impossible mission. In a race against time, they must cross enemy territory and deliver a message that will stop a deadly attack on hundreds of soldiers--Blake's own brother among them.
Rotten Tomatoes blurb:
Hard-hitting, immersive, and an impressive technical achievement, 1917 captures the trench warfare of World War I with raw, startling immediacy.

COMMUNITY & DISCUSSION
Let’s celebrate film and learn about filmmaking together.
As openers to discussion, tell us what you really enjoyed about the film. What did you find remarkable, and how did the filmmakers make it so?
Conversely, what might you have done differently if you had been the filmmaker? If something didn’t quite work for you, imagine if you're in the writers room, and pitch an idea for a different approach. If you had some issues with the movie, you should still appreciate that the filmmakers poured their lives into the project.
Let’s be specific in our answers, avoid nonconstructive absolutes, and welcome all ideas (especially if they differ from your own).
