Movie Review: ‘1917’ displays the futility of war in one big shot

There’s nothing new about movies drawing in viewers by kicking off with gimmicky opening sequences. Like, say, shots using one camera, that go on and on without an edit. Orson Welles did it in 1958 with “Touch of Evil” (a length of 3:19). As did Robert Altman in 1992 with “The Player” (8:05), and Alfonso Cuarón in 2013 with “Gravity” (12:30).
