I hope there's not too much "im psychologically affected by war and incase u didnt know, war is bad" in that movie. I hope its more Saving Private Ryan and less Thin Red Line imo

Looks like a really generic war movie that will be pretty. I wonder if we will see any of the Nolan's standard playing with chronology stuff.

I know that's a trick of Jonathan Nolan's --see Person of Interest and Westworld for an example of his non-linear story telling. Even the movie Memento was based off a story by Jonathan.

It literally starts with showing what a terrible meat grinder D-Day was.

ALFbrot posted:me, watching Saving Private Ryan: hell yea!!!!! Literally every action set piece in Saving Private Ryan is amazing, for its action The storming of the beach and the huge invasion of that town near the end were both good straight up action setpieces. Yeah they showed how horrible war was but all those scenes were exciting and entertaining and more or less just felt like war scenes. Several movies have tried to replicate that stuff and failed miserably The thin red line was mostly just dull

That goes for Band of Brothers as well. It also had great action... I think what I like about Saving Private Ryan and Band of Brothers is that it is great action + drama. They got a good balance going

The Thin Red Line is actually a much better movie (maybe the best war movie ever) explicitly because it doesn't for one second pretend that it's anything but a constant and unending nightmare. There's enough media out there that constantly glamorizes war, we don't need another movie that papers over how it's the most horrific thing that ever happens on this planet. If your reason for liking a movie is "cool Sniper shoots guy in the face through his scope omg" then you need to grow up.

BigglesSWE posted:Dunkirk trailer. I agree. Lots of incredible individual moments, but doesn't amount to much. A little surprising given Nolan's track record with fantastic trailers. I'll be really interested to see how he handles the violence in this one. I think one of his most under-rated skills is his ability to depict truly awful violence without having to resort to blood and viscera.

Action doesn't become non-valid if it also involves the horrors of war guys. Hope this helps.

It's practically a montage of beautiful scenes more than it is a typical movie.

I think one of his most under-rated skills is his ability to depict truly awful violence without having to resort to blood and viscera. If the trailer is anything to go by, it'll be really awkward and clumsy, like most action scenes directed by Nolan. There was nothing realistically chaotic in that trailer, everything looks so sterile and calculated that it looks like a war movie made by a lifeless machine or something. And yeah, a war movie without blood and viscera is sure to be intense and full of impact, I mean Saving Private Ryan and recently Hacksaw Ridge certainly weren't lauded for their disturbingly realistic war violence that intensified the drama and made you feel for the characters. Yeah yeah glorification of war violence and all that bullshit, but at least it leaves a mark on you. Nothing in that trailer made me feel anything, other than noticing a few nicely composed shots.

Hacksaw Ridge definitely gave Saving Private Ryan a run for its money as the best WW2 movie depicting realistic, brutal battles.

I was helping watch some kids a few days ago and we put on the Minions movie to pacify them. I only half watched it (mostly because these two kids were hellions and the one made repeated attempts to bite through an extension cord) and I haven't seen any of the Despicable Me movies, but drat the minions movie was weird. It takes place in England in the 60s or some poo poo, the plot was strange and meandering, and it had a few surprisingly dark moments. Some scientist got his neck snapped and died and all his future self versions winked out of existence one by one. There was also a gag where a guy is helping the villainess tighten her corset and the butler comes in and thinks they're loving (I think that's what they were going for?) Anyway the kids loved it and it stopped them from murdering each other.
