A well thought out and produced film

Rating: Null/10 (17 April 2019)

*Spoiler/plot- Dunkirk, 2017. British Expeditionary forces, French, and other allied armies become encircled and cutoff from supplies and support. A major evacuation effort is mounted by the British Navy and civilian boat owners to land in the shallow beaches to get survivors out to fight another day.
*Special Stars- Fionne Whitehead, Barry Keoghan. DIR: Christopher Nolan
*Theme- You sometimes have to re-group and attack a problem another day.
*Trivia/location/goofs- According to Sir Kenneth Branagh, roughly thirty Dunkirk survivors, who were in their mid nineties, attended the premiere in London, England. When asked about the movie, they felt that it accurately captured the event, but that the soundtrack was louder than the actual bombardment, a comment that greatly amused Writer, Producer, and Director Christopher Nolan. The end credits state that twelve of the original little ships that participated in the Dunkirk evacuation appeared in the movie, re-enacting their presence in 1940. When Farrier (Tom Hardy) lands his Spitfire on the Dunkirk shore, the plane is actually being piloted by American billionaire Dan Friedkin, who loaned planes from his personal collection to this movie. Near the end of the movie, a Spitfire without fuel is seen shooting down a Stuka dive-bomber. This is historically correct.. The Stukas were notoriously easy targets for fighter planes (especially when preparing to dive) and, in the following Battle of Britain, a significant number were shot down.

*Emotion- A well thought out and produced film to demonstrate the many darkest matters of this mass evacuation under the German guns. Many details of the on camera scenes were meticulously researched and portrayed. The audience gets treated to some real emotion on how the event was played out during those dark days.
*Based On- An historical WW2 event.
