Dunkirk - Speech "Less"

Rating: 9/10 (19 October 2017)

We have seen directors changing the movie genre from one movie to another. Christopher Nolan's earlier movies (Memento, Prestige, Batman Series, Interstellar) was different from each other but then everything had a common factor - Imagination. The director's imagination to portray a story with believable screenplay was primarily the common factor in his previous ventures.
Dunkirk is entirely a different approach by the director. Being a movie based on the real happenings during the WWII, there is not much to think or understand - compared to his other creations!!! The entire movie is based on only two elements - Visual & Sound!!!
I guess the director's vision of conveying the story was through these two mediums alone. The entire movie is taken based on 3 perspectives - Air, Land & Sea. You will have to be very patient throughout the movie since most of the time, the director has preferred to convey the emotions through music and fantastic visuals covering the land mass, air space and sea!!!
There is no-one to be described as a protagonist or an antagonist in the movie. You may recognize few actors (Tom Hardy, Cillian Murphy) and no Nolan movie is complete without Michael Caine (Plays a cameo - actually the voice alone is heard).
The crux of the movie is about survival, how the soldiers endured their time and survived before being rescued. The best segment of the movie, according to me, is the portion where few soldiers take cover in a boat which will float into the sea when the tide sets in. The entire segment is beautifully pictured and shows the emotions of various people at the same time.
It took sometime to come to terms in understanding the movie - not the story - but the time-lines of different perspective that is being shown in a non linear narrative. The most intriguing factor is that the entire movie has very few lines of dialogue but you will not be noticing it until you finish watching the movie. The background music by Hans Zimmer should be given great accolades as the music itself portrays a character in the entire movie.
Dunkirk - Less talk - More Work
