Virtual reality sans the bane of headsets

Christopher Nolan. A captivating storyteller. Dunkirk, his brainchild, is the exaltation of directorial passion.
Dunkirk is a poem. It has no heroics, no drama, no emotional flashbacks, even, no words for the most part, yet, immensely succeeds in conveying the entirety of it's message towards the end, to the already visually spellbound audience.
When you watch Dunkirk, you are not a third person. You are the wounded soldier, you are the killing one too. You are the rescuer, you are the pilot in the spitfire. You are at war within yourself, torn between the happenings that occurred during the World War's infamous evacuation.
Adding to the visual treat it is, the sound shall have no less of a mention either. There has not been a better score for a war movie to date. The simple sound has regained the throne it's once lost to the digital/techno music. The mood, context and above everything, what comes next has been so craftily elevated with the score, thanks to Mr. Zimmer.
Right from the opening shot, you are there. You hear the battle as a soldier does. You endure the explosions just as they do.
No movie-goer is eligible to critique this work of mastered art.
One can however, only enjoy the experience.
