The story under the lens is like a ring-shaped set that hides the truth, which extends all the way along with the lens. The starting point is also the ending point.

Scenes, characters, atmosphere, especially the light and shadow from night to dawn. From big to small, the grand battlefield to every group performance. The fault tolerance rate of this film is extremely low. Although it is not a full-length shot, several super-long shots are "seamlessly" edited together, and the visual experience of creating a full-length one-shot is the first movie to watch. The point and the biggest feature of the movie.

Step by step, there are conflicts, there are actions, actor dialogues and long dialogues, and every scene and every position must be performed smoothly. At the same time, the orientation of the camera is accurate, which is the result of multiple coordination. It also guarantees the quality of the film under the long lens. Tested the ability and patience of the camera crew and the execution ability of the actors is the second biggest attraction.

With almost no editing traces, the film presents a very realistic World War I battlefield. Human corpses, horse corpses, crows, mice, wire fences, mud ponds, dams and internal facilities for own and enemy defenses. There is no ambiguity due to the long-lens shooting. It is also the third highlight of the movie.

As the two soldiers rushed to the front line, all they went through were traces of war. Occupied farms in the prairie, dead animals, no humans, looted and burnt houses. Fighter planes, artillery, heavy smoke, death and war brought indifference and loneliness. As if completing the task is the only hope that can be seen...

    [Leans in to Schofield]

    Lieutenant Leslie: But, chin up. There's a medal in it for sure. Nothing like a scrap of ribbon to cheer up a widow.

  • Lance Corporal Blake: [Schofield and Blake are in the underground German billet] Bloody hell! Even their rats are bigger than ours.
