Not like any other Nolan Movie & definitely Not like any other War Movie!

Rating: 8/10 (24 July 2017)

Christopher Nolan, Hans Zimmer, Mark Rylance, Tom Hardy, Kenneth Branagh & Cillian Murphy. What else does one need? A 1hr 47min (Nolan's shortest feature film after Following) epic filled with lots of breathtaking moments. It's only the second time that Nolan touches the Non-linear story telling & he does the magic again. Last time was back in 2000 when he gave us Memento. Dunkirk isn't a war Movie. It's more than that. It a story about survival & perseverance. Direction & storytelling at it's peak. There was nothing much Nolan could have done since the history has already been written and it cannot be changed. But what he did with the History of Dunkirk is truly amazing. One will not see any Nazi in the whole movie but still feel their presence. Screen time & dialogues of Hardy & Murphy are not much that one would have hoped for but still they did justice to what they got. Without Zimmer this soon to be a classic would have been impossible. That "Tick, Tick, Tick,, Tick" tone set the intense atmosphere, just like he did with Time (Inception) & Docking Theme (Interstellar). Nolan is incomplete without Zimmer.
