[Quick Summary: With his friend, a young corporal must make it across enemy territory to deliver a desist order and preventing the death of his brother.]
I wished I liked this script better, but I did not.
It was well-written, yet I didn't care as I aught.
However, the brief description below is quite good,
Especially the one with "understood."
ex. INT. DUGOUT - CONTINUOUS
...Erinmore speaks slowly, desperate to impress upon Blake and Schofield the gravity of this situation. Nothing can be misunderstood.
ERINMORE (CONT'D): If you don't, it will be a massacre. We would lose two battalions. SIxteen hundred men, your brother among them.
Schofield hides his shock. But Blake looks at Erinmore, determination etched in his face: understood.
WHAT I'VE LEARNED: The gimmick of this film was that it was "one continuous shot" in order to keep the audience with the characters...but does it matter if I don't care that much about them?
