Review of Dunkirk (2017) by Eamon F — 03 Jan 2018

I am not a fan of war movies. The death, blood, dirt, misery and the gloom is not for me. But Christopher Nolan is a different deal, so.

I went to watch Dunkirk with an open mind, albeit not an open heart, because war is far too much of an ordeal for it.

Dunkirk is a very different kind of film, even amongst Nolan's own films. There is no mind boggling theory or science or super hero.

Involved. It is simply a tale of survival, of home, of helplesness, of death and of life. It isn't a tale of a hero, but of heroism.

Most movies have a background score, but Dunkirk has a score which takes the centre stage to the point that sometimes it feels the movie is.

The background and the music was the point all along. The rise and fall of Hans Zimmer's marvellous sounds are intertwined with some highly.

Impactful sound effects, which are complimented by, of course, a visually stunning film. Few dialogues actually make the movie songlike.

The style of narration is interesting, being divided into three equal but non linearly combined segments, each covering a week, a day and.

An hour. The cast fit well into their characters, Nolan's old favourites and the new discoveries all blending and shining against the cold.

Sea and the barren beach. Harry Styles genuinely surprised me, maybe because I wasn't expecting much from him.

Dunkirk is a refreshing experience, one that will leave you well reminded of the futility of war and pining for home if you live away from.

It.
