I streamed the movie "1917" on demand earlier, and the below scenes gave me goosebumps, starting at about the 1:30 mark. Wonderful cinematography and music!
Very good movie overall too!

Surprised that Thomas Newman didn't win best musical score. Nominated with no win, yet again!

I really enjoyed it. It captured the horrible nature of trench warfare without being too gory.

And how the hell did they do that waterfall scene?

"It wasn't until his mid-70s that he decided he was going to tell the stories of what happened to him when he was in his teenage years," Sam Mendes says. "And there was one particular story he told us of being tasked to carry a single message through no man's land in dusk in the winter of 1916. He was a small man, and they used to send him with messages because he ran 5 1/2 feet, and the mist used to hang at about 6 feet in no man's land, so he wasn't visible above the mist. And that stayed with me. And that was the story I found I wanted to tell."
