Should I go see it?
By all means, let’s rewrite history to make it more palatable to PC tastes. Maybe we can make Churchill black. And Montgomery can be recast as a homo. And all the citizens who lent their boats and labor to the rescue were muslime refugees.
To hell with Truth ...
Well it was OK to replace white historical figures in “Hamilton” with people of color so anything is fair game at this point. But did they complain about the movie “Downfall” about Hitler’s last days being too white?
They’ll probably do a remake with a lesbian female Eskimo as the lead and the battle being fought with rocks and spears to appease Mothers against everything.
Of course the left wants to re-write history. The truth is that the BEF, RAF and RN were composed almost exclusively of white heterosexual males, because they were defending the most advanced and prosperous civilization the world has ever known, which was built almost exclusively by white heterosexual males. The irony is that they were defending that civilization from a mutated branch of that civilization that was also composed almost exclusively by white heterosexual males.
If the left wants to see a war movie featuring a number of “people of color” I suggest they watch “Zulu.”
Good God...
What amazes is how these cretins still fancy themselves as the "bright" ones.
Liberal/progressive types demand that all of history be overlaid with their own biased world view no matter how it alters history. In fact, that is exactly the goal: going forward with a different history.
If it were anyone else, I'd be embarrassed for them. However, it's THEM. I just sneer and turn the page. Want to see the movie, if it wouldn't actually serve to encourage these leeches.
Lena Dunham should redo the color purple playing whoopi Goldberg’s part.
The importance of Dunkirk, in the 20/20 look-back, is that it greatly shortened WW2. Without the save of so many irreplaceable British Army lives (330k) & units, the subsequent saves at El Alamein and India’s Eastern Border would have been less likely. Think of Operation Torch (North Africa) without the British resistance in North Africa over the 2 years from Dunkirk? would it have happened in November, 1942 or rather much later?
The time it takes to make an effective, veteran infantryman and his units, is at least a year with time in actual combat. New troops, even with best of training, have far higher casualty rates than the vets saved at Dunkirk so the ‘multiplier’ effect makes the 330k saved that much bigger.
While the left goes to re-write history, more specifically, they mean to de-white history.
The concerns and whims of the Left are predictable and ignorable. Now the movie is on my must-see list.
The bulk of the forces numbers wise evacuated to England were actually the Free French under I believe DeGaul. There was a movie made at the time about this which was pretty good it staring Greer Garson and immortalized the song White Cliffs of Dover.
He must have gone through the PC education system now prevalent in the USA and actually believe that rubbish. This 'person' is a living example of the nightmare forecast by George Orwell. A few more like him and the next movie will show an army of LBGTQ heroes reluctantly swimming the channel back to an England that is actually longing to join up with their European comrades. A few more films like that and Bingo! Mission Accomplished!
> Thanks to the immense courage of rearguard forces... <
It is worth mentioning that most of those rearguard forces were French. They fought well, and did much to save the Allied forces at Dunkirk.
The French rearguard troops surrendered on June 4, 1940. That was only AFTER the last of the British rearguard troops had been evacuated.
The French in WW II have gotten a bad rap. They weren’t the “surrender monkeys” some wags like to portray them as.
Can’t wait till a movie about MLK is cast with a white guy!
I have read in many historical accounts that Hitler held back and somewhat allowed the evacuation for numerous reasons. One of which was a desire not to get too heavily involved in combat with the British, out of a desire to avoid it completely if possible.
I would bet this film doesn’t hit on that aspect at all.
The winners write history. For that very reason history is unfair. We need to indoctrinate people in the views of the losers .... so they too can learn how to be losers. //
The one thing that the politically correct left is consistent in and that is never let the facts get in the way of their ideology. Historical facts have no meaning to the Left and are to be used or modified to support whatever the current Leftist thinking is.
