    DUNKIRK SYNOPSIS
    In May 1940, Germany advanced into France, trapping Allied troops on the beaches of Dunkirk. Under air and ground cover from British and French forces, troops were slowly and methodically evacuated from the beach using every serviceable naval and civilian vessel that could be found. At the end of this heroic mission, 330,000 French, British, Belgian and Dutch soldiers were safely evacuated.

    This movie, in my opinion is a masterclass in tension building. Everytime I watch, I feel like I cant breathe until they all get on the train

    Wow! This review is one of the best I've seen. You were very perceptive about all of the soldiers, most very young, trying to cope with the chaos and terror of the event. I've not seen Dunkirk (I'm going tonight) and I'm just surfing around looking at some reviews. Dunkirk is burnt into the British national memory and has become part of our language. We talk of the 'Dunkirk spirit' when we need to pull together, need resolve or tenacity, for example. It's also still part of our living history with veterans still alive today and many having a family member or knew of someone who was involved in Dunkirk. I've always found the story of the miracle of Dunkirk very moving and I'm so looking forward to seeing it. After the trauma of Dunkirk, Britain held it's breath waiting for the invasion and later that summer it was the turn of the RAF in the Battle of Britain.

      After watching the movie now I want to look into the actual event. Do you know of a good place to start reading/watching about it?

      Colin Cann I thoroughly enjoyed it. I’m glad I was aware of how The week The Day The Hour timeline mix together. It was a clever idea (bit too clever for me, lol)and I would have missed some great moments before working it out. The Spitfire aerial combat scenes were amazing. I thought it was the most tense film I had ever experienced , until I saw ‘1917’.😱😆

    The scope, size and scale is beautifully crafted and for me this movie feels like a virtual reality ride. Not in a bad way but the fact that you feel like you are in this world.

    • @SeanChandlerTalksAbout
      @SeanChandlerTalksAbout  6 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Exactly. It's a visceral film. It takes you to a time and a place. Some have criticized it for not being character based enough, but I don't think a film being experiential rather than character based makes it inherently worse. It's just a different form of war storytelling.

    You are right about the film, the execution is great but I’m in the camp that wanted a bit more of a focus instead of just the event being covered. It felt like an hour 46 3rd act of a film. Technically speaking, outside of the script, it’s a master class in filmmaking. Sound editing is better than interstellar, the ongoing tension doesn’t let up and that’s great for how long the tension goes for. Effects and acting were very solid. If the writing were a bit more focused, it would be a perfect film imo

    Dunkirk is a great movie! I saw it in 70mm and it was stunning. BUT I want to go back and see it in IMAX, I'm sure those aerial scenes are just mind-blowing in IMAX lol But the tension filled pace and editing and score were amazing. From that technical aspect, it is a nearly perfectly executed movie.
    From a narrative standpoint I am someone that had a problem with the script. This is a historical event and I felt all history was sucked out from it. We weren't given anything about the actual events. And I do agree with him expertly putting you in these people's shoes and that did work VERY well. I just wanted to know more about the civilians in particular.

      +Ticia M it's very visceral and immersive. Some are criticizing it for not giving more historic context or giving the characters more dialogue. But the movie is about being there in the experience

    Awesome review Sean, I feel Dunkirk is a amazingly made war movie and different, but it's still not a patch on Saving Private Ryan, the best war movie ever made. Have a amazing day😊👋!

    I saw dunkirk last night and I thought it was a brilliantly made war movie. I liked that you saw the saw the same scenes from different perspectives. And I liked the music very epic and was used to help tell the story. I would give it 10 out of 10

    My ranking: (haven't seen Insomnia, Following, or Interstellar)
    1. Inception - 9.3
    2. The Dark Knight - 9.3
    3. Dunkirk - 9.0

    I love this director. Inception's my second favorite film of all time and the cinematography and direction of his film is always spectacular. He's either my favorite or second favorite director along with David Fincher and Quentin Tarantino.
