One of the best films about the First World War is coming to Netflix: "1917" is called a technical miracle

The most difficult films to watch are not thrillers and horror, but war films. However, this genre is usually adored by both critics and audiences.

One of the most iconic films about the First World War is the film "1917" by Sam Mendes, which is released on the Netflix streaming platform on June 1, Stare Facts writes. The film has a rating of 8.2/10 on IMDb, while Rotten Tomatoes critics gave it 88% positive reviews.

Why you should watch "1917"

Unlike many war movies, "1917" takes viewers back to the First World War, not a few decades ago. This is what sets "1917" apart from many other films of this genre, giving it a unique atmosphere and shedding light on historical events.

Directed and produced by Sam Mendes, the film follows two British soldiers, Will and Tom, as they try to deliver an important message to a battalion that is trapped. With not only their lives at stake, but the lives of hundreds of others, the duo must demonstrate strength and determination to get out alive.

The film has been called a "technical miracle" because the editors were able to create the impression that the entire movie was shot in two takes by using long takes. The technical nature of the film, as well as its stunning visuals, allowed "1917" to win three Academy Awards. With a budget of about $100 million, the film grossed $384 million at the box office, making it a commercial success.
