good education for the folks a generation removed from history

Rating: 10/10 (21 July 2017)

Just got back from seeing Dunkirk. 5 out of 5 is my rating. I have a special affinity for WW2 flicks, and this one kept me engaged and the music and sound gave it a dimensional feel without the aid of matrix floating and blowing up space ships. To top it off, it had my favorite actor Kenneth Branagh who I have been following since 1983 and his career with the Royal Academy and his early Shakespeare offerings, and even before his marriage to Emma Thompson. Was surprised to see him since I had not read up on the movie before I saw it with the Mom. Since I loosely follow the WW2 string of battles this one will leave those who have no knowledge of the a fore mentioned, at least engaged and not wanting to go to the bathroom. The movie combines 3 stories that intertwine at the end. Mark Rylance is a pleasant surprise, if you are familiar with his work in Bridge of Spies. Good film to educate teens on what happened with the era of their Great Grandparents. Recommend. Be sure to see on the biggest screen and sound system possible.
