Walker's Choice: 1917

Published: May 4, 2022, 1 a.m.

Welcome back Reel Friends! Last week, Alex and Walker spun the Reel Of Fate and were given the category of Walker's Choice. As we've seen before, this meant that Walker had to suggest a few movies he was interested in, and Alex had to choose a film from those suggestions. To our surprise (not really), 1917 was one of Walker's top suggestions. A war film suggestion? From Walker?? Who woulda guessed! But Alex was intrigued by the plot of the story, and decided to finally give it a shot after hearing about it for the last two years. And honestly, what a film it was my friends. This 2019 war film takes place on April 6th, 1917. As an infantry battalion assembles to wage war deep in enemy territory, two soldiers are assigned to race against time and deliver a message that will stop 1,600 men from walking straight into a deadly trap. This movie, directed by Sam Mendes, is a beautifully shot and well researched film about World War 1. From accurately designed tranches, fantastic acting, and gut wrenching scenes, you are enveloped into the horrors and triumph these brave men faced. This movie will have you holding your breath, anxiously waiting for the next turn of events. Want to know more? Then sit back, relax, and enjoy this week's episode of Spin The Reel!
