What you don't know about "1917"!

Filming locations

1. Filming began on April 1, 2019 and lasted until June 2019. The filming locations involved are Wiltshire (a county in southern England), Hankley Commons and the Gowan area of ​​Glasgow, Scotland, and Shepperton Film Studios. Among them, environmentalists expressed concern about the planned filming in Salisbury Plain (located in Wearshire). Because filming may cause damage to undiscovered remains there, these people demand that when the crew wants to build any set on this land, they must first conduct an investigation of this area.

This is the administrative center of the Gowan region

Hankley Common, the scenery is fine

2. There are many historical sites in Salisbury Plain, among which Stonehenge is the most familiar one. So this is one of the reasons environmentalists want to protest.

3. Many parts of the film were shot around the Low Force waterfall of the Tees River in the Tees Valley in June 2019. The production staff must install warning signs in this area to remind pedestrians passing by. The corpses scattered on the scene are all fake (movie props), don't be scared.

If the Tees River has the Low Force waterfall, then there is the High Force waterfall. Look at the High Force waterfall!

It seems that the water drop is too big

    Trench, barbed net, huge silted cannonball craters in no man's land, corpses of varying degrees of decay can be seen everywhere, fat rats, war-torn villages and towns, vicious enemies...you ask a person who has never been there What impression do people on the battlefield have on World War I? What he can answer is what the movie shows you, and that's all. As a war movie, or in terms of film art, even the silent film "Wings" nearly a hundred years ago is many times better than it.

    To be honest, I've been waiting for him to die from plague infection because of his broken hands touching the rotting corpse

1917 quotes

  • Lance Corporal Schofield: [talking about his medal] I swapped it with a French captain.

    Lance Corporal Blake: You swapped it? For what?

    Lance Corporal Schofield: A bottle of wine.

    Lance Corporal Blake: What did you do that for?

    Lance Corporal Schofield: I was thirsty.

  • Colonel MacKenzie: I hoped today might be a good day. Hope is a dangerous thing. That's it for now, then next week, Command will send a different message. Attack at dawn. There is only one way this war ends. Last man standing.
