This is what filmmaking is about

Rating: 9/10 (26 July 2017)

I think most movie fans were excited for this film. I know i was very excited, but then again Christopher Nolan is absolutely one of my favorite directors. Right up there with Scoresese and Spielberg. So naturally "Dunkirk" was one of my most anticipated movies of the year.
I have rarely seen a film this thrilling and intense. "Dunkirk" never gives you a moment to relax. It puts you right in the middle of the action and it works. "Dunkirk" is filmmaking at It's finest. Instead of CGI Nolan uses real destroyers and real spitfires. This makes for one of the most realistic war films you will find and this without all the gore and flying limbs you're used to in war films. The score by Hans Zimmer is one of the most important aspects of the film it get's your heart pumping during the non-stop action and in that respect is one of, If not the best film scores of the year. As for the performances those are great as well although we don't really learn that much about the characters. The different characters in the film don't have big emotional arcs. Perhaps some will consider this a big flaw, but for this film it works. In that way It's more realistic. In a situation this intense you wouldn't have the time to tell about the wife waiting for you at home. A scene like that is left out and i never for a second I missed it. Dunkirk is a brilliant movie and one of the best of the year. Nolan once again delivers a great film. A great experience. If you can, i recommend you go see it in IMAX for the best experience. Dunkirk rating 10/10 ⭐️
