Review of Dunkirk (2017) by Hotelcentral — 07 Feb 2018
What a shame that filmmakers of a former age wasted time and effort inventing characters and composing dialog and developing stories, when all they really had to do is patch together a few action scenes, instruct their thespians to ad lib a few grunts or shouts, and call it a movie!
I mean, really, there is no story here. It's a series of anecdotes. It's a Studs Terkel oral history with newsreel footage substituted for words.
Watch this if you must. Myself, I'll re-watch a film with characters and story, such as Mrs. Miniver (1942).
