Review of Dunkirk (2017) by Cristian%20 C — 21 Sep 2017

Dunkirks greatest weakness,it's script (or lack there of), adds to the movies greatest strength.....claustrophobic heart pounding intensity. it is remarkable how a beginner like Harry stiles can do the hardest job any actor faces, to convey emotion without talking.

From the scenes with drowning boats to Tom Hardy's airplane sequence this Dunkirk is more of a thriller than an action or war movie. The lack of a score also adds to the intensity of the sounds of airplanes hurling at you and of bombs exploding around.

The sound department deserves the greatest of laudations and hopefully they will get the recognition come Oscar season. All of these aspects make Dunkirk feel less like an epic war movie and more like a situational survivalist movie.

This makes it an antiwar war movie.
