99.99999% of the time, yes.
To be fair, 1917 had good lighting so I give 1.5/10

After 1917 I felt filthy, drained, and sad, which I believe was the intended message if there even was one
After most other war movies I felt like the message was “AMERICA **** YEAH WE ALWAYS WIN!!!!!” or something similar 1917 just seemed like a completely different kind of film to me. Frownland will probably just call me a sheep or something so I guess it is what it is

Were the soldier characters at all sympathetic? Boom: propaganda.
Dunkirke, Saving Private Ryan, Platoon, I'm always told "well this one's different!" but it's always the same message of war is always necessary but sometimes it makes our men sad.

The Nolan fanboy in me liked a lot about Dunkirk but I’m not a fan of the other movies in that category
There’s something to be said about the elegant micro-level storytelling and directing of 1917 that makes it feel like a movie about two dudes in a dangerous situation rather than a movie about war

I don't really care about the propaganda aspect as I'm not going to miss a bombass movie out of protest, but any movie that elevates soldiers and war (even by portraying it as hell) furthers the mythology of humanity's warrior fetish. Anti-war movies don't just teach people that war is bad, they teach that war is a transcendent experience that you are sheltered without.
