>a bizarre set of events garnished with grating sentimentality
>What’s mainly happening, however, is that lots of soldiers are waiting around. Escapades, not altogether convincing, are therefore contrived for a few of them
>Film-makers usually instil interest in their protagonists by giving them backstories and meaningful dialogue, thereby creating characters who can be engaged in drama. In Dunkirk, these things don’t happen.
>in spite of his film’s $150m budget, the Royal Air Force seems to consist of three Spitfires
>at least I now understand why I didn’t get it: there was nothing to get

>>85480079
people are just mad hat Nolan finally made a good film (his first in over a decade)

The masses will call this a boring empty mess wih no characters (normies are notoriously obsessed with characters and plot) but this movie is a masterful visual experience.

>>85480179
War doesn't have characters, just faceless soldiers

>>85480237

Just watched. Top fucking tier.

Is Dunkino the ultimate pleb filter?

The guys on the civilian boat were the only interesting characters.
Branagh had a couple good lines.
Bane taking off mask was a letdown.

>>85480179
The royal airforce was mainly grounded as they wanted a) to save as much as they could for later and b) it was shit weather at Dunkirk, which also prevented most of the German planes from bombing the brits efficiently.

>i need backstory and drama

Fucking women, I swear to God.
Nolan gives us the best kino of 2017, and women (surprise, surprise) don't understand it.

So according to you, we should have had a 6 hour long movie where we see all 3500 sorties (over two weeks, mind you)?

The opening sequence starts with "1 week, one day, one hour" and the movies end with something along the lines of "these were just some of the stories of Dunkirk", so we get to see three planes and their hour long mission over Dunkirk, it makes perfect sense.

And yes, Nolan is correct, using CGI is essentially the same as the audience playing "make believe" and pretending that the ocean is full of destroyers.

What the fuck is this obsession with backstories and "meaningful dialogue"? Every single thing anypne says in the movie is important and moves the plot and story, fuck, only the soldiers don't get a backstory, Rylance and George and his son all get one.

Were people really expecting something like SPR where soldiers literally have time to stand around and trade life stories while waiting for an attack? I mean, that's the whole point, they were always so shitty in Dunkirk they dodn't have the time or need to fucking talk about whatever.

Just saw a bootleg copy of this movie
Doesn't change the fact it's not very good

spoilers: redpilled movie that culminates with msm propaganda at work. one of the brits kills a kid (he's on the civ yacht/boat pressed into service by the royal navy) because he's too scared to go back and face the enemy

Honestly just watch an Oats Studio short, they're 100X better than this. Wait for a good blu-ray rip, you're not missing anything

You do realise your opinion is worthless?

>>85482147

idgi why were the bongs allowed to have guns? Why weren't they using deadly assault spoons?

Dunkirk is decent at best. The people calling this a pleb filter or a masterpiece are the same people who love Zach Snyder and whose favorite movies include American Psycho and Fight Club. Dunkirk, though better than most of Nolan's other films, is entry level at best.

so what happened after Farrier was captured?

also, giving the soldiers no backstory and not showing much conversations, but rather following them as they quietly observe and survive really helpes to imagen oneself in their shoes instead of just relating to them

>The guys on the civilian boat were the only interesting characters.
In which we get the boy who crowds the boat then dies from a little stumble like some glass faggot.
Nolan starts a few interesting dramatic arcs then seemingly purposely fizzles them. The suspense moments similarly start off very well done but end up hollow.
Drives me crazy how he is such a swirl of genius and shit.

I genuinely feel sorry for everyone who will watch Dunkirk first time when the torrent is out. I can't imagine someone experiencing the same thing when that first Stuka beach attack comes in if you watch it on your computer. The cinema experience is worth it for the sound alone.
That first shot when the brit is drinking water visibly startled the entire theatre where I was, every single shot in the film had weight to it. One of the better cinema experiences of recent times.

And let his plane crash into the men on the ground? Grats I guess. Also it's been reported that a lot of stranded airmen were prevented from being allowed back into the ships out of the resentment boiling in the infantrymen who'd felt (rightfully) abandonned by the RAF.

>>85490416

Well, a pilot is supposed to land his plane, not jump out of it because he feels like it.
Also, good luck swimming with a parachute, or not being shot at while flying wherever the wind carries you and not kill yourself landing.

>>85490763

t. jamais entendu parler de la 7eme compagnie

>>85490841
Crash landing a plane was often more dangerous than bailing out, even though most pilots seem to prefer it to the idea of jumping out of a plane. Not sure about how it was in mid 1940, but parachute harness had a quick release thing just in case you were landing in water.

>>85490935
[citation needed]

>>85490885
I have, but I was under the impression that Dunkirk was a slightly different genre, was I wrong?

it was boring, none of the characters were interesting and for a movie which was supposed to be about a fleet of civilians saving 300k soldiers the scale was pitiful. The monotone churchill speech at the end was pure cringe.

>>85490975
I've read an assload of WW2 memoirs from a bunch of pilots. One of them in particular described a scene where the pilot could have bailed out, but decided to crash land and ended up into a formless charred blob of flesh.

>>85490935
>parachute harness had a quick release thing just in case you were landing in water

I see.
That's probably why the other pilot choose a water landing over a parachute jump, I suppose?

>>85490978
Well, that was not from 'Dunkirk', that was from 'Weekend a Zuydcoote'.
So I guess you're wrong?

>>85491082
IRL there is/was a lot of risks associated with bailing out. You could get smacked by the tail section on your way out, your parachute might fail to open, or you might break your legs or spine upon landing.
There was also tons of risks associated with a crash landing, like overturning, burning, or both while being stuck in the cockpit. But I guess in most people's mind, you'd go for the danger that comes later. And in case of the landing, you can feel like you're in control.

>>85491058
>the pilot could have bailed out, but decided to crash land and ended up into a formless charred blob of flesh
Saving many lives in the process of not letting his plane crash in a school or whatever, you mean?

>>85491254
>Saving many lives in the process of not letting his plane crash in a school or whatever, you mean?
That was a concern for many, but in that particular incident the guy was over his home airfield in still daylight so he could have had a good enough amount of control on where his plane was going to end up. I think he was even instructed to but I'm not sure and don't have the book at hand.

anyway, this is becoming tedious
i'm out

Rylance was so fucking based.

This film lacked soul. It was bland and boring.
There was no sense of drama, not in the ship sinking, not in the dogfights, not during the scene when the boat was being shot for target practice, nor in the scene where the pilot was trying to escape from the sinking plane.
The beach at Dunkirk looked too clean.
The only sense of 'drama' I got was when the two guys were trying to cross the plank with the stretcher.
As with the Dark Knight, Nolan clearly doesn't know hot to make set pieces.

This movie was disappointing in so many levels.

The only good part about it is the realistic sounds.

But if I wanted to watch something with realistic WWII sounds I might as well watch Girls und Panzer der Film.
At least I get cute girls and tankwondo.

Watch it, almost zero propaganda.
Full white male brit cast except for the two negros in the french troops that are shown for literally two seconds, but atleast they are historically accurate true black african colonised negros, not some mixed brown pretty boys.

You don’t see a single german up closs throughout the film, the "nazis" are never even mentioned and there is no usual "le evil crazy screaming" nazi general.
It's told completely from the perspective of the brits on that beach and nothing else, the only bashing is shitting on Churchill and their own airforce.
Also it's the best cinema experience of the decade.

You americans can get pride only from your "victories", how shallow. Also covering up all your defeats is pathetic.
Dunkirk is everything about the british spirit, Churchill famously said they will save only about 30 000 soldiers max, but through the help of the civilians they managed to save more than 300 000 soldiers.

Swimming in open ocean is hard enough for people who've trained for it-- its not uncommon for people to fail their first few attempts. A bunch of half-starved farmboys trying to make it in late May, when the water's still near freezing, are going to have a much worse time.

70mm IMAX is huge. Really really huge.
Not only do you get a higher resolution picture, you actually see more of the frame (full IMAX format) which get's cut in all of the other cinemas because of the horizontal frame size. This only works if the film is filmed on actual IMAX cameras, like Dunkirk is.

>>85496238
It's about equivalent to 8K digital resolution

>>85481468
Good point. Nolan is dogmatically opposed to CGI to the point of failing to convey what a massive situation Dunkirk was.

At no point in the flick did it feel like there were remotly close to 20K, let alone 300K soldiers, or any sort of serious/high-volume air operations.

And that shot of the civilian boats approaching the shore at Dunkirk was laughable--there were about 12 boats it seemed, maybe fewer. I'm sure that represents the true effort that civilians put forth.

It's really an immense error to fail to convey the scale of this event. A large number of men and planes could've actually given the film the dramatic weight that Nolan's contrived subplots, circular editing, and boring music failed to give it.

>>85496510
In fairness I highly doubt all of the civilian boats arrived simultaneously

>>85496510
Those were literally boats from the actual event in 1940 though, many crewed by the descendants of the men who actually did it. You don't get that with other filmmakers.

Disregarding whether Dunkirk was good or bad, you're a fucking pleb.

Reminder that the woman on the boat at the end passionately waving to Kenneth Branagh at Dunkirk, letting him know that she came “Out from Dartmouth” was actually Kim Hartman, the girl who played Helga in Allo Allo.

Well, this dogma is why Dunkirk seems like a conflict that would fill out half a flank of some forgettable Civil War battle, rather than one involving 300K men.

I think giving the film proper scale is more important than religiously adhering to hatred for CGI.

There are other ways Nolan could've given the film proper scale, but his lack of imagination fucked him once again.

People are really forgetting just how important the scale of this event is---it literally MAKES the event--it gives it its importance. If it were about 12K men escaping a pocket via the Channel (which is exactly what it appears to be based on Nolan's take), it would be a blip in history.

It's similar to filming Heat with poor shootout choreography, cheap/fake sound effects, and sloppy editing---it would render the action sequences nearly weightless.

>>85496510
true. it seemed like there were about 500-1,000 people on a small beach. as an ameribong i had no appreciation that it was anything more than a smaller evacuation.

>>85497482
God you americans are so stupid could you not tell the immense scale of the evacuation in the fact that there 2 (TWO) spitfires in the entire affair?
My God that's fucking HELMS DEEP levels of scale.

Typical Nolan film for me. Looks and sounds great, with interesting premise, but something is missing. I wouldn't call them soulless, but they are kinda meh.

Fincher is a one of a kind OCD turboautist who previously worked as a visual effect renderer that now shoots approximately 40-50 takes of every scene just to get everything right knowing every stage of CGI rendering by heart. He's an extreme, not an average example.

I'm really looking forward to getting a version of this with subtitles, I couldn't understand a fucking word anyone was saying.

>>85501890
> but i need something to show me this person is human. to have a main character of the film be a complete cardboard cutout of a soldier is bad storytelling.

Why is it bad though? Because it doesn't conform to the "standard" practice of modern filmmaking? It's not good unless it sticks to a formula that all other films do, and the movie itself becomes a standard by-the-numbers war film?

>>85501658
It would need good composition and cinematography, and not mediocre crap from a hack autist. Zimmer and the sound crew are the only praiseworthy aspects of this film.

There's a reason every dunkirk thread devolves into the same argument. At best you get comments like these >>85500982.
Good movie, not great. No artistic devices other than some very literal visual story telling. No substance or food for thought other than some very loose ideas just hinging on the well and unoriginal topic of 'war is hell', nothing new added to the discussion we haven't seen before basically. No subtext, no metaphors nothing to even reach to what artistic standards cinema has been built upon for the past century. People naturally need more to connect with.

>>85502071
round characters have been the backbone of effective storytelling since time immemorial. it's not just some modern hollywood trope. human beings are not one-dimensional. characters that do not reflect the human condition of imperfection are not as compelling as characters that do. using round characters is not "formulaic." i would argue the opposite is true. it is infinitely easier to create tom hardy's character - "brave soldier" - than to create a human character. that is why so many shitty movies rely on wooden characters, because they are easy. i don't know if it was some misguided strategic choice on nolan's part to paint an emotionally sparse picture, but i think the film could have been so much more powerful if he had spent 10 percent more time developing his characters than chasing luftwaffe

Why does this show his humanity? How does no reaction to a danger show that he's aything but a soulless soldier? There's no dilemma in deciding to turn back because there's nothing waiting for him at home. All he exists as is a fighter pilot. Of course he's going to keep flying and fighting; just what a drone would do.

SHOULD I go see this with my mom. I like nolan films and hans zimmer, she's kinda interested but I hear it's a slow film, so I'm not sure I'd like it. Does it have powerful moments?

>>85502337
>Of course he's going to keep flying and fighting; just what a drone would do.
People who care about the lives of others are just drones? He allowed himself to run out of fuel because he wanted to shoot down the german plane and save lives of the men on the shore. He could have turned around when he was low on fuel, but he decided not to.

To fucking live?

Going back he knew he was on a suicide run since he now has no fuel left. Him turning around is him sacrificing himself to save the people on the ships
