A war-masterpiece for the ages.

"I am truly blessed to have lived the era of Sir Christopher Nolan and his works of art". Today, I added yet another reason to saying that sentence to my kids one day, when I watched his war stunner - Dunkirk.
The movie has a spectacular plot that gets you right at the edge of your seat, together with its on-point cinematography, they make the movie what I believe it is. In my humble opinion, it has surpassed the other war classics in the likes of Saving Private Ryan and the newly released Hacksaw Ridge.
Let's not forget about the characters' performances and spotlights. Every and each part of the story owns its share of leading characters, which is actually Chris' first work where the plot doesn't point towards a single character. Each character (even the minor roles) received its appropriate amount of spotlight which was a challenge Chris has excelled over the years.
Additionally, the soundtrack. Oh, the soundtrack! What makes a memorable soundtrack is its coherence with the the current scene and the plot as a whole. Check and check! I mean it wasn't the "classic" Hans Zimmer work like Inception's or Interstellar's, but it's there among the greats.
On the other side, the movie's slow pace at the introduction can be one of the minor note-worthy problems I have faced at the theatre; however, the pace gradually picked up to a great adrenaline-filled degree towards the end.
Last but not least, Mark Rylance and Tom Hardy.
All in all, Dunkirk isn't just a movie, it's a major experience that you have to experience at the theatre, because what this guy can put on screen with the visuals and even the sound makes it a must-see destination.
