The fear that was part of the crowding of hundreds of thousands of worried, shocked and weary solders packed into a small area is never conveyed. No mention of the many thousands of solders left behind who had to spend the war as slaves in German factories in terrible conditions. War is Hell !<br />Just a thought regarding the ‘anonymous’ individuals who comment on the review, if they are unable to give their name to their comments on a movie review, in a war situation would you want to be depending on individuals like them to fight bravely? They would be the first to go running to the enemy with a white flag!Kramer Brucenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18360914.post-83484264581306307502017-07-18T08:15:48.912+00:002017-07-18T08:15:48.912+00:00Also another thought I bet the only reason ge chos...Also another thought I bet the only reason ge chose the three people unconventional structure for Dunkirk Christopher Nolan is because he loves parallel editing.

How can a awful director have actual good action where you can tell what's happening unlike Michael Bay, and does stories that Hollywood is literally trying to keep out of theatres cause all they want are big-budget tent pole films that are adaptations, sequels or reboots. Are you the kind of person who wants to be kept in a continuous exploitative position by Hollywood who wants nothing but to maximize the profitability of your wallet by releasing a superhero film every month for the rest fifty years, or you the kind of person willing to fight for the independents, the auteurs, and original great films. Christopher Nolan may not be the best, but maybe you should explain every reason why he is awful, why every film he has released has been awful (I assume with no positive attributes at all to at least show they're not as bad as Transformers 5 or Suicide Squad) and also your personal opinion on why batman fan boys are being blinded by their love for awful Dark Knight. By the way 2018 will probably be the year Hollywood implodes on itself, with at least fifty tentpole films coming out meaning huge competition and a lot of possible bombs.

Personally I haven't seen it and feel it overrated without seeing it, but I want to use Titanic as a example. The main characters in it were fake, yet just because if that James Cameron still respectful reenacted the emotions of the people their on the Titanic. He even had scenes dedicated just to talking about the fact there's not enough lifeboats to save everyone. A film can't represent reality perfectly (especially with editing literally breaking spacetime) but I believe there is a nice line where film can be connected to real life, yet still be art, which is its highest goal. The emotions matter, and the humanity of a film matters. Sense comes later, for me personally I want to make eventually a war film about the effects after a war, with surreal elements similar to Apocalpyse Now, which isnt exactly supposed to be a documentary like Dunkirk either. Both break away from reality to do there own things, Dunkirk is suspense while Apocalpyse Now with the effects of insanity and PTSD.

Britain back then wasn't exactly the melting pot it is now. It's a European battle (Europe is where white males are indigenous, by the way) and the British army evacuating Dunkirk did not include British or commonwealth soldiers from overseas colonies other than Canada. Canada back then was about 98% white. I can't find an example of a single officer who was part of the Dunkirk evacuation who wasn't a white male. I'm not attacking you here, but your comment about the white male perspective makes no sense to me given that this is a movie about a World War II battle/evacuation that primarily and almost exclusively involved white males. Many other Nolan movies (Inception, Batman, Interstellar, etc) could and should have had more women and minorities. But how is focusing on the 1% of people involved in the real life event who weren't white males really appropriate in this specific movie?

Seems like you were expecting a war documentary or some sort but thats not the case. He said himself that "I realised nobody had made a movie about Dunkirk because many people saw it as a defeat, and it was, but this isn't a war film, it's a film about survival and Dunkirk shows an incredibly hopeful and optimistic aspect of human nature that explains how we can come through the most difficult circumstances." And he also described it to be about "Communal Heroism"Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18360914.post-91964727214610678262017-07-15T17:04:28.235+00:002017-07-15T17:04:28.235+00:00Excellent, informed and very well-reasoned review....Excellent, informed and very well-reasoned review. Nolan has always been a cold fish. His favorite thing is portraying process with no real context. He excels at escalating tension, but this film seems to have been made with too many commercial considerations in mind. A PG-13 war film with no historical context? Sounds more like a video game or VR simulation to me. I suppose a video game-like quality is a plus in a marketplace aimed squarely at the lowest common denominator. Also, the Nolan fanboys only prove their ignorance with the vile and aggressive comments they leave here. You are a terrific writer.
