The 2020-2021 Film Journal Entry #10: "1917"

The tenth entry of the 2020-2021 Film Journal is "1917". First, I discuss my highly unique experience of seeing this film which broke my hiatus from movie theaters caused by the pandemic. Then, I take a hard-look at the narratives of war and how this film, perhaps the best picture of this cinematic year, portrays, subverts, and discusses those themes through visual and film storytelling.
