Nolan at his finest

Rating: 9/10 (1 October 2018)

Finally got around to seeing Dunkirk. It was a very impressively made movie. The cinematography and directing in this movie were outstanding. This really is one of the best shot movies of the year.
The dialogue was minimalistic, instead utilizing multiple perspectives to showcase the massive effort the evacuation of Dunkirk took. In many ways it reminded me of Tora Tora Tora, which of course is a compliment considering that's one of the greatest war movies of all time.
Despite not focusing on one character, all of the characters and their actions depicted felt very human. The movie did a great job depicting the brutal effect war has on the human psyche.
The movie constantly left you with a feeling of dread and did a great job depicting World War II combat. As a history buff I loved all of the tiny details added to the movie to make it more realistic. Overall Nolan did an amazing job with this movie. A 9 out of 10.
