'That’s what I think is beautiful about the film, it celebrates the ordinary. They’re not massively decorated soldiers. They’re just blokes.'

GEORGE MACKAY: It was the second audition. Both Dean and I did three auditions. At the first one, I did a take with Nina Gold, who was the casting director. The second one was to read two scenes with Sam Mendes. At that point I wasn’t allowed to read a script. But in the meeting, he talked about the greater idea, gave me a synopsis, and then explained that it was going to be one continuous take and what that would mean for the process of it.
MACKAY: This was like a beautiful amalgamation of theater and film in the sense that the biggest kind of adjustment was the biggest lesson, which was to have a much more three-dimensional awareness of my role and the filmmaking process as a whole. Sometimes as an actor, you’re encouraged to be quite singular in your understanding of what’s going on, to focus on the character and to block out everything that distracts from that. That is useful and applicable some of the time.
MACKAY: Well, it’s funny because in Britain, the First World War, culturally, is much more relevant, even if it’s not represented internationally as much in cinema. But the biggest shock probably wasn’t necessarily a fact, per se. In exploring these characters and trying to embody these men, you discover they’re men before they are soldiers.
