Nolan's ingenious narrative technique"Dunkirk" (2017) is an awe-inspiring masterpiece directed by the brilliant Christopher Nolan. Set against the backdrop of World War II, the film is a triumph of storytelling and cinematography. Nolan's ingenious narrative technique intertwines land, sea, and air perspectives seamlessly, immersing the audience in the heart of the evacuation. The absence of a singular protagonist is a stroke of genius, allowing us to appreciate the collective courage. Hans Zimmer's evocative score amplifies the tension to a crescendo. With breathtaking visuals and meticulous attention to historical detail, "Dunkirk" stands as a heartfelt tribute to the resilience and valor of those who were there.https://pickleballopinion.com/ Expand

Really good movie. An adventure of a film, so much ebbing and flowing, and the intertwining of narratives was beautiful.

It was frustrating seeing the complete and abject failure of the troops to protect their withdrawal, though it's difficult to decipher whether that was a poor decision on the part of the movie makers or if it was somewhat historically accurate.

Either way, doesn't really take away too much. Incredible movie.

Dope movie that presses a lot of the right buttons very well. Just didn't do it for me. Well done, but not "Nolan" special. Nothing innovative. Certainly worth a watch, but I think it's laughable that this is considered a Metacritic "must-see."

His acting was so funny, and somehow has gotten worse. Honestly at some point I wish HE had jumped off the boat, but I guess I am glad he survived. If he died, we wouldn't hear his outstanding British voice talking so seriously. Imagine the spit coming out of his mouth. He was scathing. Poor Gibson. The movie was a colossal waste of time, only worth it to laugh. In all honesty, I've forgotten any other scene of this film, it's just Harry. And not even because he's good, because he's bad. Should stick to singing. Expand

The whole way through I was on the edge of my seat, thinking, "What's going to happen next?" The sound effects are brilliant, the visuals are magnificent and the music is intense, just like the movie. The decision to follow the stories of the land, air and sea was a great decision. T. This movie's dialogue is scarce, with Nolan choosing to convey the horrors of war through excellent cinematography and music. The only problem is, apart from Tom Hardy and Cillian Murphy's characters, none of them are really interesting, and along with the virtually non-existent Character development, there is little to no depth to the characters, making you wonder why you should feel for them. The movie also feels very slow, much longer than the 107 minutes it actually runs for. Other than that, this is a great War flick, and another great movie from Nolan. Expand

The film is deliciously shot and truly a feast for the eyes, unfortunately that's where it kind of ends for me. The story didn't really grab me. To top it all off, the film takes place in the same location. If it wasn't for the masterful shots, I'd probably be disappointed as well. Fortunately, the whole thing is offset by the sort of Nolan-esque quality of the camera angles and overall this film is a joy to watch. For me, a good film that I recommend especially to fans of military themes. Expand

Basically the many soldiers were waiting there to be taken over toStrong film. A film that shows the war scenario around the evacuation success of over 300,000 mainly British and French soldiers on the last line of defense around Dunkirk. Basically the many soldiers were waiting there to be taken over to the island by ship. You had the advancing armed forces of the Nazis behind you and the Luftwaffe above your heads.

The film mainly stages the psychologically stressful accessories of a war or a single war scenario. The constant fear of every single soldier has been conveyed (mostly) well and you have had one or two goose bumps here. So it is not shown in the very classic sense of "war", but much more the surrounding area. Various impressions underline the sheer fear in the soldiers' thoughts.

For me, the very impressive presentation resulted mainly from the parallelism of the scenes, which are then put together from different perspectives, underlaid with suitable sound and good music. The sound design in particular was very haunting and threatening, especially due to the dive fighter planes, and it conveyed the situation very well.

Dunkirk is a film about survival. The evacuation process is focused on the air, sea and beach sections in the film. These subdivisions of the film are represented by different actors (e.g. Tom Hardy in a Spitfire). But especially with the soldiers, I would have liked to have had more time in Dunkirk to portray the psychological stress even more drastically on film. Unfortunately, this part was dealt with very quickly and right at the beginning.

A total of 4/5 evacuation boats.

Way over hyped, dunkirk is a slow-paced war movie with very few intense moments. It doesn't worth the time you spend on it and that's the starting point for me for any movie. Many other war films give a better idea of what war world 2 was.

Very good.

'Dunkirk', as you'd expect given the director, is extremely well made. I particularly enjoyed how the film is shot, the sound editing and the score. It's a watchable story about an event from World War II.

I wouldn't, personally, say there's a standout cast performer. I don't mean that negatively, it's just more a film about a group of people rather than individuals - which I assume was the intention. There are still good performances, from the likes of Tom Glynn-Carney and Jack Lowden. It also features star names, including Tom Hardy, Cillian Murphy and Mark Rylance.

The music and how the sequences are crafted is what elevates this film up, while the pacing is almost spot on - they could easily have made this 2hr 15mins+, like most war films seem to do, but keeping it at around 1hr 47mins was a smart choice. I do still feel like it could've been greater, yet I still got entertainment from it.

In my opinion, one of Christopher Nolan's biggest weakneses has always been his characters.
Dunkirk "fixes" this problem by almost completely eliminating the concept of characters, but it does come with big downsides.

On the one hand, it lets Nolan focus on what he's best at: the technicals.

The cinematography is stunning, the editing and direction are pretty good (althought the constantly changing aspect ratio is very distracting).
And the music is, once again, Hans Zimmer pressing his whole arm on the keyboard.

On the other hand, not having any real character makes many scenes feel like they drag for way too long and makes for a very dull experience.

If we knew something about any of these people maybe it would have been different.

Overall, it's not a terrible movie, but a very unmemorable one.
Like most Nolan movies, it's technically impressive.

The lack of characterization makes it more bearable for me than something like Interstellar,
but it does negatively impact what could have been a very compelling drama, instead of just a series of well shot battle sequences.

Tecnicamente impecável, mas o que é além disso?

Essa obra me causou uma pequena confusão mental. Por um lado, eu estava impressionado. A fotografia do filme é um tão impactante quanto um diamante refletido. A técnica de alternar as proporções funciona muito bem aqui, mesmo que seja mais aparente na Smart TV. A trilha sonora se encontra muito presente, o que pra mim é um ponto positivo. O cenário é absolutamente lindo, seja em alto mar, na terra ou no ar. O elenco tá bem definido, mesmo que o mesmo não tenha um peso muito grande aqui. Enfim, assistir essa obra em 4k HDR é uma experiencia unica.

O roteiro do filme está em outro nível. A compreensão de Nolan quanto a técnica narrativa vai além do esperado, e aqui, mais uma vez, ele prova isso e brinca com a linha do tempo para nos entregar uma experiencia mais impactante. O clímax, onde as três storylines se encontram é muito bem feita e conduzida. Porém, nem tudo são flores.

Apesar da minha agradável concepção aos aspectos técnicos, o filme não parece ter uma alma. Meu envolvimento emocional foi zero. O desenvolvimento dos personagens acontece, mas simplesmente não é o suficiente para criar uma ligação entre os mesmos e o publico. A trilha sonora passa a sensação de que mil e uma coisas estão acontecendo, ou que há algo grandioso para acontecer, o problema é que essa tensão soa forçada, pois nada a altura da OST acontece, e você fica se perguntando "porque???"

O cenário, apesar de lindo, não aparenta ser de um filme de guerra. Os soldados não parecem cansados, e toda aquela situação não aprece tão ruim quanto o filme tenta nos enfiar "goela abaixo". Para uma total imersão, decidi rever o filme no fone de ouvido, sem legendas e com o áudio original. Porem eu não contava com uma trilha sonora tão alta. Na maioria das vezes, principalmente se tratando de compositores talentosos como Hans Zimmer, isso não me chateia, mas aqui todos os personagens fazem um esforço ENORME pra... sussurrar. Não sou fluente na língua inglesa, porém a dificuldade que tive pra entender as falas foi fora do normal. O filme já conta com poucas linhas de dialogo, e quando há, eu não as entendo.

No final das contas, assisti o filme mais uma vez, priorizando o máximo a imersão e qualidade do mesmo, mas ainda assim não fui capaz de dizer o que essa historia veio para contar.

Edit: Depois de me esforçar muito, consegui entender o porque muitas pessoas amaram o filme. A atmosfera criada pelo Nolan é, talvez, inovadora. O vazio, a falta proposital de emoção, expressividade ou até personalidade provam o ponto niilista do filme. Eu fiquei um pouco confuso, pois a OST tecla muito no drama, que ao meu ver, não existe sem pre-requisitos. Porém, eu consigo sim compreender o porque esse filme é autentico em alguns aspectos, e isso merece sim seu reconhecimento - mesmo eu não tendo entrado no filme.

Quality: 4K HDR

After the first 10 minutes thought I that I am watching a low cost, amateur movie in a cheap German attempt to copy Hollywood greatness. Then I started counting the actors who all resemble a famous international actor and recognised that they are all family members. At the end was I the low cost amateur watcher trying to copy Hollywood greatness as a consumer. Don't listen to negative reviews of this movie. Alone on an intelligence level and the actor placement is this a must see movie. Which obviously, a view viewers did not get, considering their negative review. Then back to the movie itself. The scenes are nearly all of an immense emotional, dramatic and moral aspect that will stay in mind, they are as thrilling as well as realistic possible in case someone would end in a similar war or conflict position as a soldier. I would nearly say that I had once or twice the feeling that the movie sends an anti war message above everything else, which depends on someones attitude related to war. I personally see war as sometimes necessary to sustain our values and virtues, not to mention for the protection of our freedom. I think that the anti war message was just my emotional reaction due to the perception and how I might feel if I would have been in the position of one of the soldiers. The art and the spirit of this movie is unique and hard to describe. At the end have I not just lifted psychological childhood traumas but got my faith and hope in Hollywood sealed and locked. Expand

I think Christopher Nolan is a genius of modern cinematography and this movie is great, but worse than his other works.
Maybe because it's really difficult movie to watch. The sound effects are startling and it increases the difficulty.

The auteur himself, Nolan, has devised a film in an anarchic way as to generate the true story of Dunkirk and deserves Academy Award nominations in all of the categories probable: will he finally receive the Best Director award?

The 330,000 Allied soldiers, who languished on the beaches of Dunkirk, endeavoured to leave the beaches - and they're unremitting masquerade was the catalyst for their deliverance. The picture itself, irrefutably, alludes to the notion that the war was filled with unknown faces, who faced a nefarious crisis; and, the volatility of war, such as death, despondency or hope.

This film is one of the best films I have seen - if not, the best - and its realism and acute nature offers a rigorous outlook of the events that ensued during World War II.

Masked or unmasked, I love the idea of a higher power looking out for us, and this time he has no humor.

Dunkirk

Why do we end up here? Always? Revisiting the dreadful history. That we started, ended, celebrated and mourned for. It cannot just be a "quick" recall. And it shouldn't be that. I may not know the real pulp behind all this passion and necessity but Christopher Nolan, the writer and director, surely tells you, it shouldn't just be a recall. Quick one, surely compared to his other films, but more than an experience and a moral lesson. Poem, it sings and poetic is its run. To me the film felt like a marathon. A sprint, to be precise. "The mole" tries to run away from the enemy, the air support towards the enemy but the real heroes, the common man, are kept in hault.

Mid way. They are stretched and strained from the responsibilities of both the kind, the personal and towards the nation. And that is exactly how Nolan pitches this incredibly noble deed by these brave hearts in one lap. Setting the parameters, he never breaks any boundaries for obvious reasons, but hovers very close to the red zone marked in this film. And that is another way how he elevates a most simplistic act or a decision that lives up to the clean soundtrack of Hans Zimmer.

The same year, Steven Spielberg's The Post released which dealt with the similar highly tensed close up shots. But the tension never communicates for no one actually points out or marginalizes the "normal" behavior. And in here, Nolan keeps Cilian Murphy to strike fear, a simple meter to explain the stakes of Tom Hardy and a know-it-all Harry Styles to guide Fionn Whitehead. Dunkirk is still at the end of the day comes under the catalogue of Nolan's filmography. He cannot help but whisper secrets if he can in a storyline, I mean he even packs a humorous punch as a big reveal for that scene.

This is a story about the evacuation of 330,000 men in 10 days from a beach, you could be forgiven for thinking it was the evacuation of a boy scout troop with a few planes thrown in for fun.

There is a fixation on a white stick inside the English planes on the left hand side which gets multiple close in shots but it's never made clear what this stick does or why it is given so much prominence. In general I was somewhat mystified by how few of anything, except English soldiers, were shown in the film. There was no sense of urgency in the film, I would imagine that under the circumstances there would have been a great deal of urgency if not near panic or outright panic.

Beyond me how clap trap like this rates so high on rotten tomatoes.

As a Chris Nolan film, you do feel like he can give more, or at least do better. In his latest work of innovation comes a war evacuation film where he captures the situation from 3 different places of conflict, 1) the land 2) the air... 3) and the sea. And he interweaves them beautifully to bring together his vision of what a true desperate and intense war situation can be. And Chris Nolan brings his full throttle big-scale IMAX vision, front and center like never before. Along with another absolutely invigorating and unnerving score that'll raise anyone's nerves into flight or fight. But the movie does feel like it's rushing itself, non-stop and never allowing itself to breath, as its interweaving of storyline perspectives become somewhat jumbled because of it. The movie seems to pass by so intensely, as if grasping your seat for a shaky 90 minutes, until you finally hear that sentimental closing Zimmer score begin to hover. And you squint ("ok it's over") as if impressed by the feat Nolan has created, but also somewhat let down by the war epic he chose to orchestrate that was clearly in the palm of his hands. Given it's the "type of film" Nolan wanted to make, the ticking-time bomb vision here works, but the movie could've been much better if he had taken some moments of rest for those truly epic moments to deliver. A well-conceived war film, but it's not Nolan's most returnable visit. Expand

So with that out of the way, how is Dunkirk? Well, to put it simply, it's EPIC. It's a beautifully shot, amazingly scored (GO ZIMMER) and perfectly directed by Christopher Nolan. Weirdly enough, unlike Inception or Interstellar, Nolan doesn't bother with too much dialogue here, and instead focuses purly on the action--and HOW GLORIOUS IT IS. Everything is practical and feels very real, which is perfect for a movie trying to show the TERROR of war. Not the HORROR. Now while I can praise this movie and call it perfect, it is slightly flawed. The lack of real character development might upset some, but then again this is a realistic take on war and in war soldiers don't usually talk about themselves in the middle of gunfire. Also the editing does get a bit weird at some points, jumping from different points in time, which will take you out of the experience. Lastly, people were expecting the violence to be over-the-top like in Saving Private Ryan and it is not, so if you want that, this ain't your movie. So in all, I recommend Dunkirk proudly, 'cause it's worth your time. Watch it, then watch it again. Expand

Those who complain about the lack of focus on individual expressions of humanity in Dunkirk miss the point of the film entirely. Gone are nationalistic overtones, standardized Hollywood glorification of combat, or character-focused melodrama.Those who complain about the lack of focus on individual expressions of humanity in Dunkirk miss the point of the film entirely. Gone are nationalistic overtones, standardized Hollywood glorification of combat, or character-focused melodrama. In their place, we have a film which attempts to rendition the evacuation at Dunkirk in a scope which does it justice. Nolan does away entirely with the tropes that we expect from war films. There's no dramatic music, no catchy one-liners, or attempts to portray the characters as anything but the actual humans they are. This is not your favorite Spielberg movie or series, but Dunkirk manages to come away from that comparison no worse for wear. Where Spielberg wants to portray the "greatest generation," and connect you emotionally to their triumphs and tribulations. He wants you to understand the characters, and to ultimately feel good about it. Pride, admiration, maybe envy. Nolan doesn't care if the audience feels good about what happens in the process of the evacuation at Dunkirk. There is, after all, very little to feel good about over the course of the movie whatsoever. There are no moralistic triumphs, no poignant dialogue, nothing that draws audiences in with conventional war films. Nobody beats back the Hun menace. Dunkirk, after all, does not depict a military victory, as most war films tend to. What Nolan gives us with Dunkirk is the truth. It's a fundamentally honest film. If you walked away from the movie feeling drained -- as I did -- well, that means you understood the gravity of the subject matter, and connected it to reality. In a meta sense, this is extremely unconventional for film as a medium, but its efficacy in imparting you this second-hand experience of what it was like at Dunkirk speaks to its greatest triumph. Cinema can be used to make audiences feel good, but what Nolan explores with Dunkirk is the usage of cinema to affect viewers in a different direction, and to this end it was stunningly successful. Its visceral depiction of combat lets audiences discover the small triumphs of humanity organically, rather than having it force-fed to them under blaring trumpets and string sections. What we see at the end of Dunkirk is not a triumph of a political viewpoint or nationalistic pride, but instead a triumph of the human spirit. Expand

Un nouveau film de Christopher Nolan surnommé "Le Génie"
Avec Dunkerque on ne s'attache pas au personnage. On ne sait pas d'où il vienne, quelles sont leurs rêves et on ne nous rappelle même pas le faite qu'ils ont des familles. On ne s'intéresse qu'uniquement à la question "Est-ce qu'ils vont survivres?". Le problème c'est que s'ils ne survivent pas et bien vu que l'on n’est pas attaché, c'est un décès qui ne nous affecte pas. Pire les personnages auxquels on s'attache le plus sont des civils. Je doute que les civils soient l'objet principal du film.
Essayer de faire un film pour tout le monde n'est pas toujours mémorable parfois il vaut mieux choisir son camp entre "Film d'auteur" et "Blockbuster d'été"
Le film est morcelé en 3 équipes de 3 personnages leurs histoires sont elles-mêmes morcelées dans le temps en 2 ce qui nous fait 9 personnages divisés dans 6 espace-temps qui parfois se passe au même moment, mais qui dans le montage final ne sont pas l'un après l'autre. Je dois dire que c'est tout le problème du film on ne s'attache déjà pas à plusieurs personnage, mais si en plus leur espace-temps n'est pas chronologique ça devient compliquer d'éprouvé l'empathie. On peut dire que cette parti est le "film d'auteur"..
Le film blokbuster c'est la tension et je dois dire que ça fonctionne très bien, mais un problème subsiste un mortier explose des soldats et le soldat ne redescend jamais. Il faut sauver le Soldat Ryan reste la référence malgré le fait que cela ne soit pas le même conflit. Tout simplement, dans il faut sauver le soldat Ryan le film n'existe pas pour avoir le label Teenager #ToutPublic... Sa c'est la parti du "Blockbuster d'été" Je croyais que le choix est à tenir jusqu'au bout pour un Leader. J'imagine que Nolan à été bousculé par les grandes Maisons d'Hollywood...
Dunkerque est un bon film de guerre c'est vrai il a beaucoup de choses bien. Les plans sont grandioses orné de belle symétrie et nous font ressentir le gigantisme de la guerre présente ainsi que la peur. "Attachez-vous à votre siège" est inutile à dire, car c'est déjà ce que vous faites.
Ce film sans la musique ou le sont n'est rien, car au-delà d'un film il est un tripe musicale. Je dois avouer que Hans Zimmer est extrêmement efficace. #Timmer. Je ne donne pas plus d'information rendez-vous en salle obscure pour la réponse.
Si vous aimez la guerre et que la tripe musicale ne vous fait pas peur, Dunkerque est une bonne expérience.
Seulement en film de guerre, j'ai vu mieux

It is a beautiful looking movie that feels more real than any other war movie I have seen. It is a movie that cuts all the cliche parts of war movies and goes for a movie focussed on the war rather than it's characters. This may be a turnoff for some people but I found it to be a breath of fresh air. I was expecting this movie to be way worse on a smaller screen but it still was amazing, but i definitely recommend seeing it on the biggest screen you can find. The music helps this movie feel tense the whole way through and that's a hard thing to accomplish.
In short: The movie is a technical masterpiece.
The technical aspects aside, this movie has some amazing acting and a really great way of telling a story which makes you that much more interested in the movie.

Dunkirk is directed and written by Christopher Nolan, and starring Fionn Whitehead, Damien Bonnard, Aneurin Barnard and more and more of an amazing cast.

Acclaimed auteur Christopher Nolan directs this World War II thriller about the evacuation of Allied troops from the French city of Dunkirk before Nazi forces can take hold. Tom Hardy, Kenneth Branagh and Mark Rylance co-star, with longtime Nolan collaborator Hans Zimmer providing the score.

Dunkirk presents great performances to keep you in the moment, amazing direction to hook your breath, not relying on CGI for your eye-comfort and a great score to make you excited!

The movie from the start to the end is just about the battle of Dunkirk, without a very hooking story, but still one of the best war movies.. especially Christopher Nolan who turned a very simple idea to an amazing and surprising work.

The first time I heard about this movie, I thought that it's gonna be a normal war movie, like battle and fighting, I didn't expect it to be about evacuation. When I knew that it's about the evacuation I wasn't excited to watch it, then I watched the VR experience, so I knew then that this movie's gonna have a great presentation, so I watched it, and I loved it!

I'm not saying it's perfect, but it was very close to be the greatest war movie, if it just had these moments to get close to the characters, to feel their pain of leaving their life behind for the war, it could have been perfect.

So I'm not gonna give it my perfect grade, but I'm gonna give it an A! I think it's an amazing movie, which is gonna live for so many years.

alright, guys, thank you as always for reading my review, let me know if you like my reviews or not, and I welcome all the comments.

Dunkirk is a good movie which produced by the top notches.
But it uses the cheapest trick to raise heartbeat, increase the feeling of suspension and tension in its audience; it is nothing but using a repetitive pulsive sound which is a lot like heartbeats. It runs through the whole movie long without any stop except when it turns to a clock ticking sound on some occasions or stops for some seconds in the train cabin to make you feel it's safe now.
After the movie, you might feel exhausted or hyped and I think that's why.

Le meilleur film de Christopher Nolan, techniquement parlant : il tient bien ses caméras, ne les secoue pas et le montage n'est pas saucissonné ; les plans sont en outre judicieusement choisis... Cerise sur le gâteau, le film n'est pas longLe meilleur film de Christopher Nolan, techniquement parlant : il tient bien ses caméras, ne les secoue pas et le montage n'est pas saucissonné ; les plans sont en outre judicieusement choisis... Cerise sur le gâteau, le film n'est pas long comme un jour sans pain -contrairement aux Batmous par exemple- et va droit à l'essentiel : bref, on ne s'ennuie pas !

Le spectacle est là et indéniablement impressionnant, sur terre, sur mer et dans les airs... les images de synthèse sont assez belles mais loin d'être irréprochables, les zingues notamment ont l'air de jouets en plastique. On s'étonne par ailleurs de voir -de façon fugace certes- un front de mer très contemporain... de notre temps : les ordis étaient-ils en panne ?

Le fait de découper le récit sur 3 axes -terre, air, mer- est une bonne idée pour le rythme mais se fait au détriment de l'humain, surtout lorsqu'on a en tête l'excellent Week-end à Zuydcoote d'Henri Verneuil mais bien sûr l'approche n'est pas du tout la même, ni les intentions... On a ici à peine le temps de reconnaître les quelques gugusses, trimbalés comme des fétus de paille qui ne se parlent pas ou si peu. Faut dire qu'on a pas le temps de faire la causette, c'est la déroute... mais tout de même.

Et puis, il y a pas mal de détails qui fâchent et font tache ; le petit con qui se cogne la tête et qui clamse, c'est n'importe quoi ; la RAF qui dégomme la Luftwaffe comme à la foire... en fait, trois **** Spitfire qui font le ménage à eux tout seuls ! dont l'un arrive à voler sans essence pendant 10 minutes... sans compter l'autre qui amerrit tranquillou ! et la marmotte, Môssieur Nolan, elle emballe le chocolat dans le papier alu ?

Et puis, on peut déplorer la musique agitée de Hans Zimmer, pas au mieux de sa forme : les trois quarts du temps discordante, cacophonique puis qui singe Vangelis à la fin. Et un petit côté gloriole pas très marqué mais bien présent comme si Dunkerque n'était pas la pire défaite de la Seconde Guerre Mondiale au cours de laquelle une armée s'est fait massacrer tandis que l'autre se carapatait à toute blinde dans la panique et la confusion.

Donc, Dunkerque -ou plutôt Dunkirk pour messieurs les Anglais- ce n'est pas mauvais pour autant mais ça reste étonnamment médiocre et superficiel. Pour une idée de la débâcle, allez passer un Week-end à Zuydcoote, car malgré tout son argent, ce Triple A fanfaron est à mille lieues de la puissance du film français.

This movie is terrible, totally bloodless, thousands of British and French soldiers on the beach getting bombed and straffed by the Luftwaffe and yet there are no bodies no blood no dismemberment, hardly any bodies on the beach. No germanThis movie is terrible, totally bloodless, thousands of British and French soldiers on the beach getting bombed and straffed by the Luftwaffe and yet there are no bodies no blood no dismemberment, hardly any bodies on the beach. No german soldiers to be seen just an invisible enemy apart from some CGI warplanes. Dunkirk didn't try to depict the true horrors of war. Totally the opposite of Saving private Ryan, Hacksaw ridge etc.
Christopher Nolan wanted a suspense film, and not a war film as such, and yet this is a failure too, as I had no empathy with any of the characters weather they lived or died. Hans Zimmer is a great music composer, however the music was supposed to add some intensity and suspense to the film and yet I just found it annoying as it was constant throughout. The only shock and horror I found regarding this film are the positive reviews. This film is for snowflakes and people who suffer from a very nervous disposition.

Utterly disappointing and totally bewildered at the reviews - clearly made for, and watched by, the snowflake generation who have no historical knowledge! Shameful lack of historical context, where were the stories of the many many civiliansUtterly disappointing and totally bewildered at the reviews - clearly made for, and watched by, the snowflake generation who have no historical knowledge! Shameful lack of historical context, where were the stories of the many many civilians who answered the call and rescued the hundreds of thousands of soldiers? Come to that where were the hundreds of thousands of soldiers? Where were the boats so laden there was no room to squeeze another man on? Where were the boats, the thousands of aircraft?

Underwhelmed, even angered, goodness on only knows what still living survivors thought!

When the cinema wants to explore the human soul and reality, it usually searches the characters to find them through our search of them. But in an unreal movie where the characters are simple figures of wax is very impossible. In the warWhen the cinema wants to explore the human soul and reality, it usually searches the characters to find them through our search of them. But in an unreal movie where the characters are simple figures of wax is very impossible. In the war where the deepest emotions of the human being are shown there is nothing in this case. And the narrative form is a simple complacent work in which the meaning of the ending gives nothing substantial. A movie about cowards. Expand

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Inspired by a true story.I've watched a lot of war movies before and dunkirk is definitely one of the top 5 war movies that really impressed me.

Why is it so ridiculous or bad for me in the movie why the frenches stay behind when the English get away.
it is said to be very wrong there are more than 300.000 troops there rather than being open target on the beach is a little better than resistance.
this is not like movie criticism. If it is so in history, of course they can not change it, but it hurts me to hunt into clear target.


the movie goes on at different time intervals and shows us the events with different eyes, for example we see the fall of a plane both in the eyes of the pilot and also in the eyes of the person using the boat below.war scenes, and even the entire backdrop of the movie, the music that was playing was beautiful, it was full of thrill hits, the battle scenes were pretty realistic, you feel like in the war and you witness those difficulties.

the war is so bad we once again saw it.

I do not know if they are English loves or hate I obviously did not know that they would leave the frenches but in the last stages they helped the soldiers of the people to emigrate them to save them from the beach.


My favorite scene is Kenneth Branagh saying It is home and the appearance of the boats on the horizon,I can watch this scene many times.our french child, so gibson was freed from all accusations that he was very sorry for his death, but having a very good heart caused his death.


the scenes of battle planes deserve to be nominated until the end of a truly oscar's movie that needs to be appreciated.If he had won, nobody said he did not deserve it.

a movie that has already been shot on a beautiful story
BRAVO.

The three different stories told simultaneously culminate in a stressful and effective ending. Unlike any other war movie I've seen. Another excellent film from Christopher Nolan.

No film is perfect, but to my mind this one achieves nearly everything that it set outs to do.

No plot? Who said that? Whatever the case, the story that is told is gripping and well worth the effort to understand apparent tangles - and the criss-crossing time line of the the major 'stories', 'land', 'sea' and 'air' is even very, very effective (for many reasons, like the chaos of the whole situation).

No character development? Who said that? We got to know a few of the many individuals thrown into the chaos of the collapse and chaos. Just right for what the film was trying to do. Our 'getting to know them' happened largely through all the crazy (terrible) events they go through.

Having grown up in the 70s when war films were a staple in a way they aren't now, and having watched a lot, I can honestly say no film before has made such an impression on me about the dreadful experience of war suffered by the mostly young participants, about how they experienced it, and how certain attractive values like decency and courage shine out in ordinary people who are not heroes in the usual cinematic sense.

There are many other great films that hit a similar spot and do a similarly excellent job, like Battle of Britain or, for another time and place, Platoon or Full Metal Jacket, but this one takes a slightly different approach... and pulls it off, just like they did in their own way.

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. its like phuuking a hot chick only to find out its a frickin blow-up doll. Nice visuals but its too immaculate and sterile. you arent invested in the characters and by the movie's end you just dont give phuuck.Zimmer scores this like something was gonna happen but no. The Blitzkrieg was not shown so people with no familiarity with history have zero context to what was happening. Tom Hardy wears a Bane mask and has a weird accent again. This is the cinematic equivalent of constipation with no relief in sight. Expand

The realism in this picture is incredible. An emotional, epic, strong and attractive story. One of the best Nolan's movies.

A história acompanha três momentos distintos: uma hora de confronto no céu, onde o piloto Farrier (Tom Hardy) precisa destruir um avião inimigo, um dia inteiro em alto mar, onde o civil britânico Dawson (Mark Rylance) leva seu barco de passeio para ajudar a resgatar o exército de seu país, e uma semana na praia, onde o jovem soldado Tommy (Fionn Whitehead) busca escapar a qualquer preço.
