Best War Movie Since Apocalypse Now

Rating: 10/10 (24 July 2017)

Out of all the war movies made every year, there was one that is considered the greatest. That is Apocalypse Now. Now there is finally a film which can compare to that in terms of total intensity, direction, cinematography, story, war scenes, and suspense. This is tied for the best war movie of all time with Apocalypse now.
It is straight up, one of the most tense films you will ever see. The first second of the film, it puts you in the middle of the war on the beaches of Dunkirk where over 300 000 soldiers are waiting to be rescued. You don't need character development in this film as it is not meant to show individual characters. It is meant to show the evacuation of Dunkirk itself, therefore you don't need characters to be developed in this film. The way Christopher Nolan tells this story is only a way in which he could pull it off. There is three narratives or three different stories going on that ultimately end up merging together. The first narrative is about the soldiers on the beach. The second narrative is about the normal people who took their boats and risked their lives to go to Dunkirk and save soldiers trapped at sea. The third narrative is in the air and shows the intense dogfights which occurred in the air.
In this film, you will not look away as it keeps you in suspense all the way through out. If you look away, you will surely miss something. This is the most intense film i have ever seen and it deserves the debate to be called the best war film of all time. It is the best film in the year 2017 and i would be surprised if it gets snubbed in the Oscars.
