      Bruce Wayne Well, thank you for this feedback! I really wanted to go see this movie since I first saw the trailer, and your comment is one of the many positive comments I noticed. Kenneth Brannagh saying that the movie has something really personal about it makes me wonder how I'll react, since one of my great-grandfathers was there at Dunkirk, among the men who got saved.
      (On a sidenote, it's amusing that they mentioned Agincourt, one of my favourite battles. I'm French, but I really don't care if we lost that one tbh, the King and his lords had it coming with their stupidity, and this battle is an excellent example of what I'd call the British guile.)

      I went to see it last night. With all the 3D mega movies out nowadays, this 2D film was the most intense I've seen all year. Well and truly awesome.
      Not sure if the 8 year olds who were at the cinema enjoyed it as much. Maybe they were disappointed by how little Harry Styles was actually in it.

      The only war movie I have seen that compares is "Saving Private Ryan". Ryan was more of a metaphor of course, but both immersed the viewer in the very real and often flawed, often heroic characters going through experiences that cannot ever be fully understood other than by those who experience war first hand, but probably conveyed as well as possible on film.

    I am Canadian, we were all inculcated with the history of WWII and I. Because Canadians were in both from the start until the end. Dunkirk spirit was the great weapon that finished the Nazis. The British farmers fed not only the British, but fed the rest of Europe after the war. Never underestimate the power of an island of pissed off civilians.
    My first exposure to Shakespeare was Olivier's film of Hamlet on black and white tv. I couldn't have been more than ten at the time. I was mogadored. Thunderstruck. Shakespeare could never be dead words on a page after that. Shakespeare has ever been a primal scream for me.

      clark cimmerian You're an idiot. Americans should be thankful they had a massive landmass and an ocean between them and Germany (not to mention they didn't join the war until they were pulled kicking and screaming into it). While Britain was fighting for its very survival they rationed food, not because they're "socialist".

    When I was a teenager Kenneth Branagh was an old man I saw on the tv occasionally.

When we left the cinema my friends hands were shaking from the sound of the battle :-)

    Believe it or not, one of the little boats that participated in the evacuation was captained by none other than Charles Lightoller, the most senior officer to survive the sinking of the Titanic. His boat, the Sundowner, which was built to carry 21 people, saved 127 servicemen during the evacuation. Oscar winner Mark Rylance played a composite character that was inspired by Lightoller.

    I believe his older brother was in the same year as me in secondary school. In fact his uncle was a science teacher there.

      @thebigitchy Před 7 lety +52

      Jeffrey I think that world history classes (at least at the high school level) in the US are less concerned with battles than they are with a more macro view of the war. And I remember that the period of 1938-1941 tended to focus on for instance why the war started in Europe, and some of the early stages. But they were more concerned with the oppression and genocide that occurred in Nazi Germany, than say the flow of battles in the war. Obviously, major events, such as the attack on Pearl Harbor, which brought America into active involvement in the war were covered, but for instance I never knew that the Guadalcanal campaign took place over several years. As I recall, it was barely mentioned except as being part of America's island hopping strategy.

    I saw this movie and I'm taken back to the moment I was watching it; my eyes are tearing up again, my heart beats too fast, and I hate the sound of clocks ticking. There are happy moments, there are proud and relieving moments, but in the end, it doesn't feel like a 'happy' ending. It's heavy, it's profound, and I left the theatres shaking and feeling heavy and upset. It's a film that is really hard to describe emotionally. I want to watch it again but I don't think I could handle the emotional stress.
