Has anybody seen the movie 1917?

I haven?t seen the movie but I?m curious about the promotions and trailers. The promotions and trailers make it very clear that the movie is purely fiction, but based on factual events. That alone is fairly confusing to me.
I?m having a problem trying to think of a scenario where a World War One British Lieutenant Colonel could get himself into such a hell of a fix to begin with, but after I suspend all disbelief and accept that, I?m faced with trying to believe a British Battalion Commander was insane enough to come up with the solution he did.
All the reviewers and movie goers are giving the movie five stars. Best movie since World War One, etc.
Is the movie based on actual events or is it purely fiction? Is this one of those movies where you have to suspend disbelief and common sense to like the movie?
I doubt if I?ll see the movie before it?s on TV either way, but things like this make me wonder if my brain is even rustier than I thought.

Ditto ..... on my bucket list.
We have enough gun laws, what we need is IDIOT control.
Blood makes you related. Loyalty makes you family.
I thought getting old would take longer. :shock:
Actually, I know of ZERO movies based on 'actual events' that jollywood hasn't jazzed up so it's more 'entertaining.'
