First Nolan history movie

Rating: 7/10 (23 July 2017)

Dear readers, Dunkirk (or Dunkerque in French) is a based on history movie that recalls about the allies soldiers of World War II that had been trapped in Dunkirk, a city in Northern France. The beginning of this movie is quite epic, but after watching it, there are some critics that I need to deliver as a movie lover. The critique is about the plot itself. I love Christoper Nolan. I watched all of his movies that are always mind-blowing, so that when I watched Dunkirk, I hoped that I can see a mind-blowing movie of history of World War II. My expectation was not really fulfilled, but at least I can enjoy the beautiful landscape of war zones. Well, Nolan is not a history movies director so far, so that he must learn a lot from the history movies directors that are more experienced to create a beautiful war-plot. In Dunkirk, you can not understand the plot. Who against whom? Why he did that? Or who with whom? You could only understand it if you are history lover or if you read a lot about World War II, but that is the history movies Director's part isn't it: To make understand the audience about the history. In this Dunkirk, I am so sorry to say that Nolan did not explain the big plot before the Dunkirk events, for example there was not an explanation why the soldiers were trapped in Dunkirk and why there were the divisions of attacking strategy between Infantry, Navy, and Marine soldiers, and also there was no such a good ending to explain who finally wins Dunkirk event. Based on my experiences watching Nolan's movies, he tries to mind-blow people with the plots, but in Dunkirk, I feel just watch National Geographic series about the war. Sorry Nolan, as a big fan of your movies, please learn to make war movies plots.
