Apparently the original script of this said that he walks toward the singing voice and sits among the soldiers because he thinks he’s already dead. Makes the scene carry more weight in my mind

[IStealFries]

This scene was so beautiful but what sadden me the most was when the camera panned and you saw that these soldiers were all just a bunch of young lads, practically kids and it reminds you that we lost a whole generation of them to that damn war, just heartbreaking.

[LazyScoutJace]

It's such a chilling thought knowing that alot of those men's lives were saved that day by the single battered soldier in the back.

[SergeantKillGore]

When I first saw this scene in theaters I wasn’t sure whether the soldiers were real or just ghosts of those who had already perished fighting.

[Hanakin-Sidewalker]

That was beautifully haunting. I saw this in theaters with my dad and we were absolutely entranced by that soldier’s singing.

When Schofield got a break, so did we

[NixDarkLord]

One of the most genuine scenes in the movie

[oolooo]

One of the heaviest hitting movie scenes .The desperation, the tiredness, the weight of the journey, the pain, the desire to rest but the knowledge that thousands of lives depend on you continuing your quest and the almost ethereal mixture of a well timed song and a silent forest after seeing a loved one die, fighting many foes, so many times almost losing your Life and the wondering if you will have the strength .So much .

A cinematic masterpiece .

[MrHeadSet]

the last song that many of the men will hear in their lives.

[ygjjjgui]

Schofield had the thousand yard stare in this scene

[roberthurley]

My grandfather was killed in this war in this same year 1917. I have a photo of him and my grandmother on their wedding day, both young and beautiful, unaware of what was to come. When I was a young boy in the 1960s she told me once she still missed him.

[xavierhutchinson]

when i saw this in theatres, I was whispering this to myself:

"blink...please blink scho...blink please...your almost there"

[Zeddyboi]

When you watch a movie, and come across a scene like this, where you genuinely don’t know how to describe what you feel, it is a rare gem of cinema. Am I happy? Am I sad? Am I hopeful? Am I depressed? I DON’T FREAKING KNOW!!!

[BleedingUranium]

I wish this had been included on the soundtrack, what a beautiful performance.

[matth]

Dude is such a good actor. He was completely dazed until he heard the song sing to him and took a breath then snapped back to reality

[erika]

When I first saw this scene I thought he had died leaning on the tree cause he wasn’t moving or blinking.

[Train-bz]

After hearing the angelic lyrics and voice of the sole soldier, immedietly you hear others clapping but is soon shunned by the gathered claking of metal and rifles, and shouting. The war still rages on around them, there is no time in war.

[dorrin]

*People who haven't seen 1917* : So, what was your favorite scene?
Me: Yes.

[NavidIsANoob]

I love how they casted a bunch of actual 18 year old kids to be the soldiers. Hollywood and the like have had us believe that soldiers in the great wars were these buff, gruffy 30 year old dudes, but the reality is that the vast majority of fighting soldiers were teenagers.
