1917 doesn’t need an ending explained, the events of the movie are pretty straight forward. The finale won’t leave you asking any questions and everything ties up in a way that services the entire story.

However, that doesn’t mean that the ending isn’t worth talking about and this film finalises on a beautifully somber moment that has stuck with me long after seeing the movie.

Throughout this video we’re gonna be breaking down the journey that the characters in the film go on as well as the real life events that inspired the movie.

There will be heavy spoilers here so if you haven’t had a chance to see 1917 yet and don’t want to know what happens then I highly suggest that you turn off now.

With that out the way I just wanna give a huge thank you for clicking this video, now let’s get into why the ending of 1917 is so perfect.

1917 Plot Recap

1917 is filmed as one continuous shot. The camera doesn’t cut away at any point. There’s not mid scene changes, no diverting from what’s happening on screen and because of this the film feels relentless.

Shooting an entire movie in this style is an extremely difficult task but Director Sam Mendes purposely put this in place as it’s necessary for the film’s overall message.

There are no real breaks in war. No real moments of respite. No moments to mourn or take in what is really going on and what you have sacrificed in order to fight for Queen and Country.

One moment you will be clasping at your friend as they pass away and the next you will be sat listening to a song sung by a soldier. You don’t really have a chance to take it in or truly comprehend what is happening.

The movie itself is actually based on the true story of The Director’s Grandfather – Alfred Mendes, who served in the British Army during the war. Mendes was told stories by his grandad of what it was like to be in the conflict and from this he put the movie together.

I’m sure many of you at home watching this have heard similar tales growing up and the first world war is still something that has a large impact in the United Kingdom more than 100 years later.

My own Grandfather was a Sergeant Major during the War and often my grandmother would recount to me tales of his bravery and also the horrors that he faced looking at death every day.

Mendes’ Grandfather was awarded a medal for bravery after he was tasked with a mission to locate injured soldiers in No-Mans Land.

George MacKay who stars as the film’s main lead also relates heavily to the film as his great, great, great uncle Albert Victor Baulk also was tasked with a similar mission to what we see out.

Baulk was a signaller for the 196th Siege Battery in France and he helped to relay important messages across land as we see Mackay’s character do in the film.
