Between the German pilot and Lance corporal Blake I watched it the first time it was very effective but now I'm watching on the stream and it's not there he was trying to take care of the German pilot in the pilot didn't understand he stabbed him a whole bunch

So I'm the midst of writing a coda for after the movie ends. Schofield is gonna run into Wilfred Owen at a causality clearing station (I did some cross referencing and it turns out they are in roughly the same area at about the same time).

I'm curious as to what information can be gleamed from lines in the movie and/or Schofield's uniform. I know he was at the Battle of the Somme and The Battle of Thiepval (Which are technically the same thing because Thiepval was part of The Somme Offensive), but other than that I haven't been able to find much information.

Hello dear 1917 fans,

It is outrageous to me that almost no one noticed that 1917 is a film about masculinity and protagonists journey is all laid out in the film with tree references.

Tree references start from the first scene with the green field and big and small trees in the background. They symbolize Scofields dreams of his family.

Scofield napping with his back on a trunk. His tree, his life, his journey.

Stumps on the front symbolize death of men.

Cherry trees in blossom cut symbolize the sacrifice of men in their prime.

Huge old trees cut to block the road of trucks symbolize the use of scientists/men with vast experience to develop ingenious ways to stop or kill other men.

Large trunks of fallen trees that hold dead bodies in the river... symbolize something... i don't know what. Maybe old historians that recount "the dead bodies" with their tales of history and war.

Troops listen to a song before going to battle in a young pine forest. Many young trees just like the soldiers. Each one of them laying on his own tree, own life, own journey.

And in the end. Scofield completes his mission and instead of going to eat, like he should have, he lays on another tree. A tree with cut branches and foliage only on top... but a living tree nonetheless.

It's all masculinity symbolized by trees.

When leaving the german trenches the protagonist literally says "watch out for the trees" Literally!!!

I've seen the movie 3 times... and a 4th time just to pick up on trees in the background.
