Here we have a film that does not bother to put a couple of sentences about what Dunkirk was all about. Don't know it already? Don't worry, the film is so chaotic and noisy and violent that it is about chaos, noise and violence and it doesn't matter what the underlying story is. There is virtually no dialog, what there is is nearly incomprehensible. The music - praised to the skies by other reviewers - is not original at all, it is very much like the Jaws score. Intense, 'sposed to make you realize the danger afoot. Loud, relentless. The story of the soldiers being evacuated from Dunkirk beach, and helped by a flotilla of British folks bringing 'round their yachts and other boats, is told from the standpoint of what the soldiers endured before the rescue. One thing they endured was bombing by certain aircraft. These planes had camouflage and big red circles on them; I thought they were Japanese! Very confusing!! When I see big red dots on planes I don't think Germany, do you? This film is not entertaining and it is not educational. It was chaotic, noisy, violent and boring.
