Review of Dunkirk (2017) by Ethan T — 17 Sep 2017

This movie was beautiful and full of human frailty, tragedy and triumph. There is very little dialog so, having facial blindness, I probably experienced it differently than the average watcher as the older man, his son, and George were the only characters I could consistently recognize.

But I think perhaps that gave it some very in the moment chaotic reality for me. It was a little terrifying simply because we seem destined to repeat these wars. But the moment of all those civilian boats arriving to the rescue was heart soaring.

People can be truly amazing when there's a need for it.
