Banal

Rating: 1/10 (31 December 2017)

I get what the director was trying to do , I get he was trying to feed the audience into the narrative, unfortunately for me it did not work.
To much time spent on the boring parts we all know happen in war , not enough time spent on the French defence of the perimeter or the brutality of what happens to soldiers bombed at the Dunkirk beach, Christ there was not even enough time spent on the politics of the evacuation and the eventual decision to get the French to Britain.
So I get there was probably to much stuff to fit in, or the movie would be three hours long , regrettably Christopher Nolan focused on the banality and in some cases inaccuracy of the situation, rather than a smarter overview of action we had periods in a movie that gave me time to nod off, I had to keep rewinding just in case I misses something. Unfortunately I did not.
Expected so much and the film delivered little.
