I'm not a vet but I'd agree there's something definitely harrowing about Dunkirk, showing how much is out of an individual's hands and the main goal is to live to fight another day when the odds are more in your favor. My stomach was getting upset from the tension throughout.

Pissflaps posted:I have yet to see this movie but if you come out of it thinking that the Dunkirk evacuation was a 'defeat' then there is something badly wrong with how the story is told. Easy there mate, it was just a defeat in the sense that they were forced to evacuate because they weren't ready for war in the first place.

Arcsquad12 posted:It seems like the movie missed the mark on some of the "emotional" scenes, which stick out because they cut into the tension and came across cheesy. The arrival of the small boats is this big triumphant fanfare that immediately smash cuts back to "of gently caress of gently caress oh gently caress" I think that was on purpose

CRINDY posted:The most affecting part of the movie, for me, was the horrific deaths that occurred just off-screen we only know about through sound design. Specifically, I got really hosed up and panicky when the first ship got torpedoed against the docks after Main Soldier and Harry Styles snuck to the rafters. You could just barely hear people yelling and screaming, a crunch, and a sudden absence of sound. Same thing happened when the destroyer capsized and trapped some soldiers trying to escape, you hear them suddenly realize what they're up against, then... nothing. By shivering soldier do you mean the first guy the little boat picked up? That's Cillian Murphy, Nolans muse. He was in another scene too. Also, it's just the start of the war, he's not safe yet.

it shriveled up posted:There's a showing near me at a omnimax. I've never seen a movie in one of those. Would it be recommended? It'll be either that or a 70mm showing somewhere else. Omnimax is awesome, it's better than 3d and doesnt need glasses. Not sure how it'd work with a normal movie though, but check out some nature documentary in it!
