J.R.R. Tolkien, The Lord of the Rings, The Two Towers x 1917 (2019)
The brave things in the old tales and songs, Mr. Frodo, adventures, as I used to call them. I used to think that they were things the wonderful folk of the stories went out and looked for, because they wanted them, because they were exciting and life was a bit dull, a kind of a sport, as you might say. But that’s not the way of it with the tales that really mattered, or the ones that stay in the mind. Folk seem to have been just landed in them, usually their paths were laid that way, as you put it. But I expect they had lots of chances, like us, of turning back, only they didn’t. And if they had, we shouldn’t know, because they’d have been forgotten.

[ lance corporals’ epic walk ]
. . . Who am I to understand what have I become? . . Sabaton, ‘Great War’
Every scene in 1917 is a little masterpiece
It is very characteristic how the introductory scene is one where boys don't say a word to each other, but how eloquent their facial expressions are:
Will listens to Sanders’s “Pick a man, bring your kit” with somewhat distant, gloomy interest; then turns away and closes his eyes, as if: "No, no, it's not me. I'm having a nap, you cannot disturb it, find someone other".
Tom watches him super intently, and we know that Will’s chances to be not included are close to zero: "No, it's you, man, it is decided; you cannot escape it".
Blake is brave brilliant enthusiasm himself, which is very admirable; Sco knows from the beginning what it's going to be, and that his eyes closed don't make him invisible.
Hand stretched — last moment of hesitation — and then this mild, youthful smile: "This is my friend; at least it’s going to be something of an adventure".
