Outdated war propaganda

Rating: 2/10 (1 August 2017)

The point of a new WWII clon movie always is something misleading. ¿Really we need a WWII movie every month? Now, the music and photography are very good; but soon we realize than the plot and the drama is thin, and the more important part of a movie always should be the dramatic elements. Of the three stories that is about the film, none has the slightest interest; the more weak is the aviator story, and really do not fit with the others. Maybe without this part the movie it would have been better. The problem with historical war films is that they only work when present themselves as allegorical or symbolic; for this reason Apocalypse Now (1979) is a great movie. The reality of the past is something than change with the time; and is really hard to believe today in the cinema like a neutral source of historical contents. And the point of filming a movie with the only sense to encourage the British and American people to enjoy the war against Germany, seem something outdated or very forced. But I have no doubt than Dinkirk will win one or two Oscars: it has the necessary measure of mediocrity.
