A Great Symphony!

Rating: 8/10 (5 May 2018)

Now, I read a few of the reviews and it seems like some are complaining about the fact that the movie is only dealing with the story of Dunkirk on that particular day (a kind of 24-hour story) in so many explicit details etc.
To me, Dunkirk isn't so much about Dunkirk itself. I love movies that are made like a Great Classic Symphony - The true Art of Cinema. My favorite being Francis Ford Coppola's "Apocalypse Now" or movies like "Thin Red Line". I always hated films that are nothing less than a stage play with one-two shots to let us the audience follow the story.
To me the camera must move, the music must move, the story must move like physically moving, like a great Road Movie. That's Cinema and true Art.
Dunkirk could have taken place in Mozambique and been a story about two brothers escaping a local tripe that wants to torture and hang them, and their only safe heaven would be getting to Seychelles by swimming if necessary. Its how the film has been portrayed in pictures and music that matters. It is this flow and the symbiosis that makes a Great Symphony. A work of Art.
And that is something very few films manage to accomplish, but Dunkirk did.
Dunkirk is a Great Symphony.
Go watch it! Preferable in the cinema with a fantastic sound system and a huge screen.
Enjoy!
