An absolute masterpiece...

Rating: 10/10 (14 August 2019)

This film really blew me away. It's definitely one of Christopher Nolan's more unique films. It does have his style, but it's told in a frantic intense way. There isn't much room to breathe. And when there is, it's often interrupted by the enemy attacking. One critique I hear a lot from people is that there's no characters. I argue that this film takes into account that these are just individuals a part of a bigger picture. A battle involving multiple people. This film depicts a historical event in small bits to paint a big picture. There may not be character development, but that's because things are happening so quickly. There isn't much time for the characters to sit down and get to know each other. War is fast paced and intense and barely gives room to breathe. And I think this film did a tremendous job in depicting war. This is one of my favourite Christopher Nolan films. Currently my second favourite. It's an absolute masterpiece.
