Looks like a potentially good movie. Hopefully it will educate many about the story of the event.
I wonder if they’ll be any roles for black female lesbian transgenders...
real IMAX must be 70 mm? I saw a report of the film on Fox this morning
The story of Dunkirk (for anyone who understands what happened and what it meant) is remarkable and very emotional. To suffer that kind of a wholesale military and psychological reverse and at the same time to demonstrate, in their abject defeat, such a stern, resolute national character, valor and near religious sense of duty. Also I think it's sort of timely... actually Britain 'against all odds' seemingly defeated but ultimately victorious... like the Brexit
I’m looking forward to it. I made my boyfriend sit through “The Big Sick” - though he appeared to enjoy it - by promising to see “Dunkirk” opening weekend. Little did he know that I’ve wanted to see it ever since the first trailers came out.
Christopher Nolan is one of the few Conservatives in Hollywierd. Everything he does is excellent.
What General Weygand has called the Battle of France is over ... the Battle of Britain is about to begin. Upon this battle depends the survival of Christian civilisation. Upon it depends our own British life, and the long continuity of our institutions and our Empire. The whole fury and might of the enemy must very soon be turned on us. Hitler knows that he will have to break us in this island or lose the war. If we can stand up to him, all Europe may be freed and the life of the world may move forward into broad, sunlit uplands.
But if we fail, then the whole world, including the United States, including all that we have known and cared for, will sink into the abyss of a new dark age made more sinister, and perhaps more protracted, by the lights of perverted science. Let us therefore brace ourselves to our duties, and so bear ourselves, that if the British Empire and its Commonwealth last for a thousand years, men will still say, This was their finest hour.
Mrs. Miniver was an excellent film dealing with that period.
there are fake IMAX theaters?
Has it got something other than color and CGIs that the 1958 version did not have?

Hmmm. By today’s youth and their expertise, is this a movie about English cigarettes? Oh, that would be Dunhill. Most of today’s youth haven’t a single clue about sacrifice. A lot of whiney ungrateful snots with “high” expectations of being rewarded for not doing a whole lot. Is history even brought up in schools anymore? I know there are exceptions to that.
“The only British character actor missing is Sean Bean.”
Probably because Nolan always keeps people guessing, and if we saw Bean, we’d already know he was going to die.
I was skeptical originally making a whole movie on Dunkirk; but this review might sway me otherwise.
I am skipping Spiderman for the family as it, as per Christian spotlight, knee deep in needless foul language.
