I don't know what the British recollection of this all is, being victors and such. But I can't shake of the impression that the Dunkirk evacuation was solely executed by pleasure yachts, civilians and the worlds biggest navy who could only spare two dingy destroyers. Of which one looked suspiciously French.

It's a seemingly nice narrative. Civilians and the military banding together in the war effort. The real hero here is not only the brave tommy in green but all who blablabla. Pompous, predictable. Boring.

It's just the British version of the type of movie where the Americans go stand and clap afterwards. Slightly more subtle, bit more self-conscious and aware of the critiques but ultimately the same. It's not even an offensively bad movie. Just very mediocre and easily digestible. Reminds me why I rarely go to the cinema any more.

I see your point Sodom, its definitely got a good bit of that feel to it but then i suppose it was going to.

Some of it was class but it's not the 5 star modern classic that i had seen reviewed and went in expecting to see.

Nolan did just as good work with the Dark Knight for me.

I don't think it came across as self congratulatory. It was one of the bigger military disasters for the British during that war. A combination of huge German ineptitude and the rescue carried out using small vessels meant that so many people were rescued.

Cezanne et moi,

Bit contrived, but easy on the eyes. Enjoyable.

^^^^ werd up.

IMAX is the only way to experience Dunkirk IMO. It literally blew my mind.

Cheers for posting that smith, hadn't heard of it before, looks
