New from Nolan

Rating: 8/10 (24 November 2017)

So, it's been a large section of reviews and reviews over flooded with the praising and pointing their fascination about the movie Dunkirk and this also seems to be like that. Not in the sense of great reviews and remarks done by BBC, CNN, Hindustan Times, etc but it is a small and very simple writing of a novice which object to point about the man who surrounds with the ambiguous atmosphere all the time and also the man whom I admire a more, in the sense of a filmmaker, Christopher Nolan. Nolan's movies are always a matter of wonder and also it is something an unconventional notes of something which we were not aware about. So that Dunkirk. Let's try point out what are the peculiarities that I am able to find out in this new product from this great filmmaker.
Dunkirk, unlike the other movies of Nolan, is something very different in the sense of writing and direction. We knew the sensibilities and tastes of Nolan throughout his early masterpieces but this one looks completely differ from those dishes. Dunkirk can be simply noted as The Land, The Air, The Sea and The Home. These four phrases correctly apt what the film is about. There we can saw the collaboration of these four factors in its equal appropriations and mixture while the audience never gets off from the seat when the movie goes so slowly and steadily. As we early said the path's deviation of Nolan as a writer and director is completely mixed up with the theme that the movie carries. The audience always wanted 'Nolan Twist' at the end but he already twisted us from the opening with the freshness of the theme that he is going to use. Surround with the cold atmosphere around the place Dunkirk, the audience also get that coldness (not because of the Air Conditioner in the theaters) just because they were also added into the 400,000 soldiers. Their mind to reach out to their residence was the question that arouses each and every frame of the movie. That's why it gets the simple narrative structure and patterns in every course of the film.
Hope and Survival are the key factors that laid the foundation for the plot but actually it can only be relate with the accuracy that these two things are bother about. The first one Nolan wanted to accomplish through hope and survival is the very common needs that a man have to carry throughout his life. Let's forget those were soldiers but just consider them as a mere simple, common human being. For the common man hope is always a weapon and survival is the victory they achieved through that weapon. So here the soldiers are using this weapon to find out their home and when they find it they felt their victorious move over. Once at some point they were searching for some place to hide during that evacuation from the keen eyes of their enemies. They are used to that place because they can't even to go any other place, else. Their suffocation, afraid of the enemies (the plane that surrounds them on the top) makes them the urge to move away from there. So that each and every soldier's eyes were illuminate with the fractions of hope.
Alike, at the time when I wrote my views about the movie Inception of the same filmmaker, here I always wanted to point my hardcore love about the score in this movie, Dunkirk. I pointed early about Hans Zimmers' magical notes while I wrote the review of Inception; I am also wanted to unveil my fascination about him and his composition here also. Throughout the movie there lies the propounding, astonishing background score of Zimmer which gave the audience a fresh appeal to what is going out there in Dunkirk. Each and every frame is circled with small notes of ambiguous outcomes and we just flew into that atmosphere very easily because of these powerful notes. The Super marine music of Zimmer is closely associated with the four phrases that pointed early with its equal togetherness and dividends. Ya, that's something true about, when we enter into the land we receives some sort music ambiance which is completely different from the ambiance of the sea and the air. Zimmer is just trying to find out a collaboration while he composing music for these 'four phrases' but he kept something in his mind, and that is the variety he handled in each section of the movie. Anyway we can simply say, Dunkirk is null without Zimmers' hands.
Hoyte Van Hoytema, the cinematographer also have the level to receive applause when we talking about the movie Dunkirk. Of course, what a wonderful piece of cinematographic work carried out by him like the movements and shots he followed in the Interstellar. Through Interstellar, Hoytema opened up the new visions of space traveling and that ambiance which relates with the simple atmosphere of the village were the protagonists' family resides, and the corn fields etc. But here he just associated only with a smaller area (which seems to be bigger) around the land, air and water. I was very much fascinated about the aerial shots that he used to point about the 'Air's' influence in the 'four phrase'. Undoubtedly this shot can be said the trademark shot in the movie Dunkirk. He can easily handle all phrases with a unique style and it was so appreciable. He along with Nolan helped the audience to get as closer to mindset of the soldiers and the rib of the movie as a whole.
