I actually can't figure out why anyone would want to make a movie of Dunkirk. Shit is an embarrassment to Britian.

>>85136927
The UK sent a lot of what they had at the time in defence of France. It failed to stop the Germans, just like the French failed.

British and French soldiers died in what was a desperate attempt to stop an overwhelmingly superior force, so to try and pin failure or blame on the British for doing what was ultimately the smartest possible thing to do at the time is meaningless and insulting to the men who died while following their orders.

You also seem to be ignoring the fact that the British DID evacuate French soldiers and returned several years later to aid in the liberation of their allies country. But I guess you thought that fact wasn't as important.

The movie is not about praising the British soldiers, it's about showing the desperate circumstances they were in and praising the civilian boat crews who did whatever they could to get those soldiers (British and French) back to the UK to fight another day.

>Celebrating the time the British ran away better than anyone else in history

No thanks

Why do Americans make Vietnam or Desert Storm films? Sometimes people can enjoy a story despite it not portraying them in the best light.

>>85136927
French soldiers who fought the rearguard were heroes and deserved some recognition.

However the Bongs had already been fighting to protect your country. The BEF had been fighting with the germans in belgium when they were forced to withdraw because the french couldn't hold the flanks. The same french who had been retarded enough to focus everything on the marginot line and had NO reserves. kek.

Also 150,000 french troops got evacuated as well, so its not like they left everyone behind. Why do you expect the bongs to lose their entire army defending your country for you? Pathetic french.

>france gets invaded
>dont worry bros we've got you, it will just take a few months for all our troops to arrive from the colonies, dont worry though, we're sending everything we can in the meantime
>le arrogent english, we can hold the germans forever on our mighty maginot line

at which point the french were instantly outflanked and routed by a smaller force and the english cut off, dont see how any of it is the fault of the english

It's their fucking country now ours that's why. Not our fault they a bunch of cucks. Also the Germans stoped their advance.

Britannia is a garbage country full of garbage people.

>>85136927
That's not even true, besides the fact over a 100k french soldiers were evacuated by the British a British battalion was left behind to fight a rearguard action and the whole evacuation was impossible without the RAF.

Then factor in France's abysmal failure in the fighting at Belgium was the very reason withdrawal became necessary.

France fucked up, Britain still took 100s of thousands of French and other allied soldiers across the channel and frogs are just made they have not a single act of heroism to claim from the war- in fact half of the country collaborated with the hun

>>85139748

Because in Vietnam there were wins AND losses and moments of heroism. Desert Storm was a massive victory so Im not sure what you're on about there. Dunkirk was a bunch of fucking pussies crowding into boats by the thousands and literally pushing each other overboard to get a spot while leaving all their weapons and equipment behind for the enemy to capture. The entire thing was a massive act of cowardice and a huge dick in the ass to their "allies".

I bet you don't complain that Ancient Greek literature is almost all about Ancient Greece though do you?
If the French want a Dunkirk about the French they can make their own fucking movie, just like the Russians can make their own movie about the Eastern Front if they want to, just like the Germans have made dozens of movies about the experiences of their people during the war.
But no, French filmmakers want 3 hours of B&W footage of cigarette smoke wafting in front of a stained glass depiction of Christ and Russian filmmakers are too busy swilling cheap spirits to make anything of worth, so you get nothing, faggot

>>85140621
>this is what americans actually believe
Because of French incompetence we had to evacuate else huge numbers of British soldiers would be captured and killed by the Germans. It wasn't cowardice, it was a strategic retreat. Still we continued fighting the Axis powers in North Africa, the Mediterranean, the Atlantic and South East Asia and also gained the upper hand long before you joined the war.

this was an excellent movie

I see a lot of people blaming France for losing so quick but at that time, literally everybody thought the German would go through the Low Countries. Even the whole German commands think they are going through the Low Countries until Hitler suddenly pick Manstein plan out of the blue

How retarded are you fucking children nowadays that you don't know the point of Dunkirk? It was that Britain had been defeated and was about to lose the whole army with no means of evacuation when thousands of older men who had been through the horrors of the Great War just set off on their own little boats to cross the Channel and rescue them knowing full well they'd be getting fucking bombed while they did it, it's literally the only genuinely good thing that happened in the whole war and showed the gentleness and quiet courage of the British men volunteering to save their countrymen, you fucking faggot.

>>85146106
Fag is right though--not letting the Panzer groups push the BEF into the sea save Britain, effectively.

It's debatable whether or not they could have even held off an invasion, let alone protected the Empire with 70% of their forces crushed and the remaining ones damaged.

Letting Goering experiment with his air tactics cost Hitler a good shot at taking it all.

Whether or not he could have held Stalin/Roosevelt with little pressure on his East is also debatable--makes for interesting history, to examine how it went down for Britain since much of even Walter Lord's book (Miracle at Dunkirk), was devoted to the why of Germany's failure to strike and more to the how of British evacuation.

We are still missing the human British perspective in a popular medium.

>>85148475
>It's debatable whether or not they could have even held off an invasion
They could have, mainly because of the US bankrolling them, but more importantly because the Germans had no real amphib ability. Trying invasions across water is difficult when you have no real way of getting your equipment across (or even men really, as the German paratrooper units were still forming at the time).

I'm not a military mind but why didn't the British use the hundred thousand troops in France and establish fortifications/their own airfields/a strong beach head on Normandy. I feel like they had the manpower to hold off the Germans

FRANCE IS SHITHOUSE

>>85148475
>It's debatable whether or not they could have even held off an invasion

I'm British and if Goering wasn't a retard Hitler could have invaded and forced a surrender. The pacific proved that you don't need the firepower of ships to destroy a navy in open water, you just need somewhere to resupply and rearm your fighters, which the French coast would provide. The Luftwaffe would have destroyed the home fleet and lost less planes in the process compared to the Battle of Britain.

>>85148999
There's many reasons why it failed. But ultimately, France said the Ardennes could not be penetrated so didn't put any units to defend it. They said they knew where Germany was coming (Belgium) and told Britain to put it's entire force of 200,000 troops there. So they did. When the Germans invaded the Ardennes, the French thought it was a minor diversion and told the British to stay put. When it turned out it wasn't, the French panicked and said this could only have happened due to Fifth Columnists, so there was a wide spread (and random) purging of generals and officials. The French had spent all their money on the Maginot Line, which was unfinished and every soldier manning it was low on supplies. So low that the guns didn't even fire on the Germans before it was too late because they didn't have enough ammo. By the time they realised this was the main thrust, the Germans had most of their forces over the rivers and were encircling the French and British. By now the French politicians were advocating surrender, thinking it would be like the good ol' days where you exchanged a area of the country or two. so defeatism ran rampart. On top of the French destroying 80% of the RAF by ordering them to attack bridges unsupported, the British realised it was useless as not only were their tactics u seless against the Germans but by now Italy was invading.

The British evacuated 200,000+ ish French troops and most of their men, but not equipment, while the rest stayed behind.

Arrogance and French demanding to be in charge of ground forces caused the problem. You'd don't fight an army which was superior to you in tactics when your allies are calling for you to stop fighting.

>>85149537

>>85149797
>If WW2 never happend, these dicks would have no problem keeping their empire in check.

The British and French empires would have collapsed eventually, the two world wars just sped things up especially with America emerging as a superpower after WW2. Britain and France had to resort to importing numerous colonial brown people to help rebuild their countries too. Now Germany today are exporting even more brown people.

Dunkirk has always been propaganda. There was no "miracle" at Dunkirk. The French held the Germans off. And Hitler decided to prevent the Luftwaffe from annihilating them because he thought a shameful slaughter would prevent the British from coming to the negotiating table.
