When Schofield sat down to rest within that moment, I felt I could rest for a moment too.

[michaelrey]

“Am I dying?”
“...Yes...”

Very simple lines, yet paints the harsh reality of war. That will stick with me forever.

[EscapeTheMatrix]

“Will you write to my mom for me? Tell her I wasn’t scared.”

Rest in peace to my great grandfather Sgt. James Shaddick. Killed November 30, 1917.

One of millions.

[Chadoy]

Very rarely does a movie leave the theater with me. Definitely my favorite movie now.

[AFGuidesHD]

This followed by "sixteen hundred men" is such a fantastic piece of cinema

[amber_shay]

This movie is a masterpiece. Every second of it. And this song was beyond beautiful.

[Gornorudnik]

RIP to millions of brave soldiers who died in this horrible and senseless war... They stayed forever young

[merclb]

Tired: "I need to find the Devons"
Surprised: "We're the Devons"
Awakeness intensifies

[wolfieodimm]

"you must know my brother"
"I was sent here with him"
"Tom's here. where's he?"

Usually, I don't feel emotions during movies, but when he found out he's arrived at the right company, I felt so relieved. It was insane. Like, the weight had finally been lifted. Then it returned when he realised the general was halfway across the battlefield

I've been looking for this since i watched 1917.

[antoinettegabrielle]

was so special to experience this on the big screen. the slow ease into the forest, once again feeling like you're in a dream... then we see d company of the 2nd devons, at first you wonder if they're even alive, then you wonder if schofield is really at his last tether... and then you just feel a small sense of relief, and you soak in the words of the song. "there'll be no sickness, toil or danger in that bright land to which i go..."
really hit me when i realised they sung that right before they headed off to almost certain death, had not schofield been there in time.

[KeysAndDoorss]

my theater was the most quietest, couldn’t hear anyone eating nor drinking, never heard anyone talking or walking out to the bathroom or something, everyone just sat there, watched the whole thing and silence.

LYRICS:
I am a poor wayfaring stranger...
I’m traveling through this world of woe
Yet there’s no sickness, toil nor danger
In that bright land to which I go...

I’m going there to see my Father
I’m going there no more to roam
I’m only going over Jordan
I’m only going over home

I know dark clouds will gather round me
I know my way is rough and steep...
But golden fields lie just before me
Where Gods redeem shall ever sleep...

I’m going home to see my Mother
And all my loved ones who’ve gone on...
I’m only going over Jordan
I’m only going over home...

I am a poor wayfaring stranger...
I’m traveling through this world of woe
Yet there’s no sickness, toil nor danger
In that bright land to which I go...

I’m going there to see my Father
I’m going there no more to roam
I’m only going over Jordan...
I’m only going over home...

[marcaopenas]

this theme filled that scene as never before in cinema history

[bageled_meme]

The scene of Blake being stabbed was heartbreaking, and so sudden.

[runningalpacaslol]

Lyrics: (by ear, since there are many versions of this song online)

I am a poor wayfaring stranger
I'm travelling through this world of woe
Yet there's no sickness, toil nor danger
In that bright land to which I go


I'm going there to see my Father
I'm going there no more to roam
I'm only going over Jordan
I'm only going over home


I know dark clouds will gather 'round me
I know my way is rough and steep
But golden fields lie just before me
Where God's redeemed shall ever sleep


I'm going home to see my mother
And all my loved ones who've gone on
I'm only going over Jordan
I'm only going over home


I am a poor wayfaring stranger
I'm travelling through this world of woe
Yet there's no sickness, toil nor danger
In that bright land to which I go


I'm going there to see my Father
I'm going there no more to roam
I'm only going over Jordan
I'm only going over home

Spoiler Alert





When Schoefield sat and didn’t blink for a while I legit thought he died before giving the message.

This film hit me pretty hard, I am a 19 year old from Devon so these lads coulda literally been from my town, it was a film that was inadvertently very personal to me and a lotta my mates felt the same
