Most unique war film ever made

Rating: 8/10 (24 July 2017)

Unlike any other war films which highlight the brutality of the war by depicting bloody nature of killing and cruelty of human nature, Dunkirk instills the fear of human nature. Under extreme adverse circumstance, the weakness and fragility of human emotions could lead to collapse of a full grown adult, even an army.
As an audience, we may easily make rational decisions during the crisis---be brave or even prepared to die as a hero. We may hardly feel how the despaired soldiers felt. But Nolan's film undoubtedly conveys such emotional catastrophe to the mind of his audience.
