God bless him. His reaction to the movie is similar to D-Day vets who saw the Normandy landings in “Saving Private Ryan”.

[lee martell]

Wow. That is profound in every way.
Now I do want to see it.

Wonder what his thoughts are on the moocher muslim rapist invasion...

[GnuThere]

Good for him, I was just in Alberta. Nice people.

[ExGeeEye]

You mean to say he didn’t think it sucked because it had no diversity, or Churchill, or an absolutely linear storyline?

Dang.

I appreciate this man and I am sure the moving was incredibly moving for him, emotionally. But for my part, as a movie, it isn't that good. Zero character development, almost no dialog, at times rather slow, and Hans Zimmer"s interminably long, drawn out, constant bass chords (primarily cellos and pipe organs). If you saw Interstellar, then you're familiar with his "music" - blaring, ponderous, and for the most part, lacking any discernible melody. And maybe it was just the poor balance of the sound system in the theater, but much of what dialog there was, was drowned out by the score half of the time.

And while director Christopher Nolan does a good job of conveying the sense of dread, and of feeling like a hunted animal, the film does very little to really explain why Dunkirk happened. For example, if Germany's idea was to destroy the British Expeditionary force on the beach with the Luftwaffe, why do we see only a single Henkel bomber, three Stukka's, and two or three Messerschmitt 109"s? Where was the might of the Luftwaffe, and why wasn't it brought to bear? The film doesn't bother to explain. Nolan also spends far too much time on the Spitfire pilot and the aerial combat, though it is well done.

Not saying it was terrible, but it is hardly "the greatest WWII movie ever made", as a review in Rolling Stone suggested.

OUTSTANDING!

Many Americans don't realize that Canada was in WWII about 2 years before we were.

We saw it yesterday and enjoyed it even though we had to sit through a trailer for the new Al Gore movie.

[SkyDancer]

I can understand the black community not being represented in the movie - heck, weren’t there black LGBT’s serving pancakes on the beaches during the evacuation?

Very nice... going to see Dunkirk in IMAX tomorrow... To think there was a time when we won without a bunch of college educated guys who use gummie vitamins.. cuz real pills are hard to swallow.
