It's a 2019 movie.
The story begins in the First World War and the camera follows two young British soldiers resting under a tree being called by their superiors. I loved how the camera unveils their walk - pretty much throughout the film (no wonder he won and Oscar) - and their surroundings become clear to us. They are given an important job - to go past the front line where the Germans have just retreated and stop the battalions ahead from launching an attack which is actually a trap. Blake is chosen because he is good with maps and his brother is in the doomed battalion and Blake chooses Bill as his companion. The two set out into the war zone with nothing more than their 19-20 years of age and in the hope of saving Blake's brother. Brilliant. Three Oscars.
