Sam Mendes' 1917 is visually stunning and emotionally powerful, but is the "one take" presentation honest filmmaking or clever trickery? After rewatching the film and diving into the making-of documentaries, I explore both sides of this debate.The film wasn't actually shot in one continuous take like Russian Ark or Victoria, but it was carefully crafted to feel that way. Quentin Tarantino has criticized this approach, arguing that if you're going for the one-take vibe, you should actually do it in one take. But is that fair criticism, or is this just masterful use of cinematic technique?What do you think - does it matter how the effect was achieved if the final result serves the story?
