Good movies tend to be boring, and emotional.

Rating: 8/10 (25 July 2017)

Dunkirk is not a kind of movie that the DC/Marvel/Star Wars/Star Trek/Transformers fans are seeking to spend their time and money on cinemas nearby with their loved ones for, as much as realistic as it is on the real battlefield (yet not a single drop of blood spilled, Nolan's style of not wanting to portray any bit of cruelty and sadism, even in this movie, which took place on a battlefield) what makes us so imbibed into the shore with all the desperate British troops is the ever-going background music (It's Hans Zimmer, who do you expect?) which pushes us to feel a little bit uncomfortable, urging us to keep asking in our hearts "what's going to happen next?" "are they all gonna die?" "when will the next bombs be dropped?" "are they gonna make it home?". At the beginning of the movie, you may find even the heroes have lost their humankind brotherhood when they're put in this kind of situation in which they're forced to do so (and that's reasonable), but then, some of the brave non-soldiers characters' action will make everyone's faith on humanity restored again. This movie will teach you that victory on the battlefield is not always determined by the number of the dead enemy's soldiers, or the number of the surviving soldiers on our side, or even the numbers of the enemy's territories/forts/headquarters that have fallen, it's more complicated than that! you can murder the entire army of your adversary up to their captains, colonels, warlords/generals, even their kings/presidents/supreme leaders but you still lose the war. The most important thing to put in mind (which is the message of this movie) is that we can still grasp victory in our hands from how many of our friends, brothers, children, grandchildren, fathers that have spent countless days and nights defending our nations, our territories, our idea of truth; freedom; and justice come back to their homes, families, and their loved ones after standing toe-to- toe against the harsh truth of reality of defeat and desperation on the front-line.
