Dunkirk is a masterpiece through and through with every single shot meticulously designed to amaze

Rating: 10/10 (23 July 2017)

Most war movies are about a group of characters dealing with a terrible and frightening situation, but Christopher Nolan's Dunkirk is about one thing and one thing only, War. Dunkirk does not focus on having memorable characters with large story arcs but instead focuses on the event of Dunkirk itself and the real and truly horrifying experiences the many men and women faced on that day. Nolan gives audiences a gripping and intense epic with beautiful camera work shot completely with good ol' film and thankfully a complete lack of CGI and overdone blood splatter. With its impressively large and realistic cast, use of real vehicles and stunts, great complex narrative, and possibly one of the best scores from legend Hans Zimmer, Dunkirk is a shinning example of why we love film.
