Are you aware that there are people in this world who have a severe medical condition which causes them to be that way? My mother, for example is one of those people. She is a truck driver with bad knees from driving...
..oh. Wrong thread. I really want to see Dunkerque also. I read the book when I was a teen. The civilian mobilization of assorted vessels and crews was incredible. Fishing boats, pleasure boats, kids, old men.. wow. |

I saw the 6pm in IMAX last night. The movie was fantastic. The aerial cinematography was the best I've ever seen, and I've seen probably every aircraft movie from Wings to Flyboys.

I saw it last night as well, but a couple things stood out to me that bothered me. There were over 400,000 men on the beach yet they never made it seem as such. The most you ever saw were a few thousand and most shots made the beaches look mostly desolate. When the small boats showed up, they were very few in number. I'm to believe that small number of boats evacuated 335,000 men at once? Also, where did the U-boat go after its torpedo sank the destroyer?
Overall it was a good movie. It didn't "feel" like a CGI fuckfest except when the spitfire ran out of fuel and was coasting along. That felt very fake and out of place considering the rest of the movie was better. |

What I want to know before I watch it is, are minorities and women, and even transgendered equally represented in this film?
If not I don't want to support it with my hard earned money. |

My understanding is that it doesn't have enough minorites or females in it.
Sounds good, I'll be seeing it some time during the week when the crowds are less. |

The most complete movie experience.
The sound makes you feel as if youre in the spitfire, or on the beaxh, or in the ship. Movie is going to get some serious awards. |

Just got back. I liked it a lot. The one thing that you will notice is that the movie is NOT dialog driven. Its frankly very sparse in dialog. The story is carried by the "musical" score. The score keeps you on edge.

Civilians stopped what they were doing got in their boats and off they went, across the channel facing who knows what danger in boats like this. Happy to do so because they saw it as their duty to help their countrymen.

For the record, I'm not a Nolan fanboy, but how you could rate that film "five at most" out of 10 is absurd... I could see you not thinking it was perfect (it wasn't), but 5 out of 10? You've gone mad. The whole thing had a very "experimental" feel to it that I did not enjoy at all. Off the top of my head, it reminded me of "The Thin Red Line". As I've said, one of the more dramatic moments of WWII, and the whole thing left me feeling... meh. (Just like "Interstellar," it was cold and antiseptic.) Nolan let his movie making get in the way of his story telling. |

The non-linear narrative made it muddled and disjointed, the lack of dialogue made for a lack of context and really inhibited my my ability to care about the characters, and the music was over the top and distracting.

As I've said, one of the more dramatic moments of WWII, and the whole thing left me feeling... meh. (Just like "Interstellar," it was cold and antiseptic.) Nolan let his movie making get in the way of his story telling. The most noteworthy thing about the real Dunkirk was the evacuation lf the troops by hundreds of civilians smallcraft. Towards the end of the movie there were maybe 25 boats shown. Then there's Kenneth Branagh, who plays the same character in every movie he's in........Kenny The Ham. This movie rates a 2 in a scale of ten. |

The film score and the action kept me feeling tense the whole movie. The aerial shots are amazing. You do get the sense that the men are doomed on a spec of dirt looking out for themselves for survival. Like someone said in another thread, these are the movies that Hollywood should be making and they should be supported.

Cinematography, great. Story great.
The disjointed time line ruined it for me. Going back in time for a couple scenes, isn't bad, but it felt like the director was trying to make some huge artistic statement, and that nonstop time jumping was just too much. I think they wanted to show the Tom Hardy pilot character throughout the entire timeline, and had to do too much instead of just introducing the pilot at the appropriate point in the movie. |
