Absolutely brilliant. Dunkirk may well be one of the most tense and unyielding cinema going experiences of this year. To hear Nolan talk about the making of this only confirms that he knows what he is doing in every aspect of this film.

Just seen it. Hes made a bloody masterpiece if u ask me. Pure Cinema.

Saw it at 7.15 am at the BFI in glorious 70mm IMAX and it was worth getting up for. It was the best theatre experience I've probably ever had..go see it on the biggest screen possible and enjoy. It's one of Nolans best films!

Dunkirk is a technical masterpiece. The sound, the cinematography, the directing, the story structure. Utterly incredible film.

Technically it is interesting, with the 3 different timelines and camera shooting. As a storyline it is nationalist, history bending bombast of the worst kind, almost impossible to take.

@@allws9683 are you kidding me? Two privates jump the queue by posing as medics, some soldiers attempt to throw an ally off a Dutch boat taking fire, and a fallen sailor kills an innocent boy on a boat arguing with its civilian captain to turn around and go back home and you call that too patriotic, idealistic etc to swallow. Wow! Dunkirk in no way celebrates the incident, it presents it as a visceral, immediate experience in which fear is the dominant theme. The only ‘heroes’ are the one pilot, and the aging captain of a skiff; and the simple fact is many of the men and women involved in the rescue acted heroic. I thought this was as important a flick as Apocalypse Now, and a masterpiece.

Agree, important film by a writer director at the height of his powers. His most concise work by some way, I absolutely loved this, can’t believe I took so long to catch it!

i just like how humble he is, he's made 10 movies majority that have been classed as masterpieces

I could listen to Nolan all day 😍

I agree the criticism of character development is a little bogus. If you see a perfect stranger in peril on the street, I'd hope you would care a little and not be completely indifferent to it. His aim was to make a film so realistic, you feel like you r there- you see the peril and a bunch of vulnerable young men- you don't need to hear about a pregnant wife at home or hear a joke from a funny character to care about them. Also, this is a true story. That immediately gives it a gravitas- a complex character in a movie wouldn't make the true events any more or less tragic or inspirational.

6:51 _Hit the nail on the head!_ 👌 This is why Nolan is the *master!*

It annoys me that "lack of character development" is the thing that is receiving the most criticism in Dunkirk. Chris explains his take on it perfectly. It's visual storytelling to build tension for the characters. Instead of the usual cliches of monotonous, dull, hollow dialogue.

Nineteen1900Hundred It's really not about that. It's that these characters are dull and uninteresting. They were basically cardboard cutouts.

Best War film since All Quiet On The Western Front (1930). DUNKIRK doesn't glorify war; it doesn't demonise the enemy; it doesn't heroise our own terrified soldiers - quite the reverse; but it captures that strange mixture of long, tense, inactivity followed by short flashes of terror that epitomised one of the Allies' greatest military disasters of World War II. Another Nolan masterpiece. As the man himself says: at 106 minutes about half the length of his normal films, it is punchy, understated, and not one of the performances is over-acted. Mark Rylance is just brilliantly understated - perfect, as is Cillian Murphy as the shell-shocked evacuee and Tom Hardy as the calm but courageous RAF flyer with a rapidly emptying fuel tank. There is only one tune in the movie's soundtrack - Elgar's "Nimrod". It's all the more effective for its timing with the arrival of the little ships. Not a dry eye in the house. Chris Nolan is a genius.

one of the greatest things ever presented on a screen. A Masterpiece.

Looking forward to watching this film.

Nolan just pulled a Chris Stuckman "I grew up with this story" xD

I would have loved Christopher Nolan to direct adaptation of Dune that world with Christopher Nolan style and vision would be amazing but I rate him for making his own original movies plus Villeneueve is also on of the best directors in Hollywood right now who can tell complex stories just like nolan

Just back from watching DUNKIRK for a second time It's great to see a movie about real heroes instead of the super hero nonsense that Hollywood has been pushing for the last 10+ years I know Nolan did a Batman trilogy but those movies stood head and shoulders above Marvel and the latest DC offerings in terms of quality and performance

Sshh, God's talking :].

Hahaha that "Anne Hathaway joke". Chris has a naughty mind....

He is turning into Tim.Nice But Dim

So why did you make it so historically inaccurate? And you haven't immersed yourself in first hand accounts as its so inaccurate. A cinematic experience, yes, but if the film isn't factual then what's the point. My favourite bit is the flyover over the beaches which were empty according to the film just small queues. There were more 330,000 troops on the beach on that day. Showed one destroyer, there were at least 49. Showed one RAF sortie, there were hundreds a day?

Sounds horribly like genius to me. Thank God for him he's half American. Had he been completely British, at the first sign of any kind of genius Nolan would have been set to work in the City for the rest of his productive life before he had even registered the taste of the silver spoon that had been jammed into his infant mouth. Thank God for us he's half American (just like Winston :).
