Dunkirk Review! Christopher Nolan's war film Dunkirk tells the story of Allied soldiers' miraculous escape across the English Channel in World War 2. Nolan uses a unique timeline structure to tell the story. Erik Voss analyzes the Dunkirk story, characters, and themes, and explains how Nolan's interest in time as a theme (including in past films Inception, Interstellar, Memento, and the Dark Knight movies) makes him one of the most thought-provoking filmmakers of our generation.

Nolan Likes to keep things simple in a most complex way possible.

@MarkAS56 7 лет назад

The structure worked from start to finish.

@ethidian3444 7 лет назад

I thought it worked from finish to start.

@internationalartprojects8660 7 лет назад

It was ok, Dunkirk was very clean no bombed out buildings, no litter at all on the beach, and I dont think I saw a single character at all smoke one cigarette. Really really bad, like really really bad.

telling the story of Dunkirk didn't needs the non-linear story structure, but in the hands of a master like Chris Nolan in certailnly benefitted from this decision.

I think Dunkirk was a great film, and I loved the timeline stuff! I don't think people in the cinema with me appreciated it much though, judging by there conversations as we were leaving

@Igor-ug1uo 5 месяцев назад

I was very confused watching this in the movie theater. It was jumping between different days and hours It wouldn't be so confusing if I watched it at home having an opportunity to rewind a few times to understand when the scenes were taking place.

@LuciferMorningstar-zu1ud 11 месяцев назад

I love Nolan and his hyper-realism films. The way he makes something so complex look so simplistic and the way he told the story was classic Nolan. Being a war vet myself, seeing how time almost felt as if it stopped, felt the most true and real. I felt it as if I was back in combat again. The sudden action and then peace and quiet right after and acting as if nothing happened felt the most realistic telling of war.

@rashadchowdhury523 7 лет назад

All Hail Christopher Nolan.

@fabrisse7469 6 лет назад

Cillian Murphy's character wasn't a deserter. He was the sole survivor, as far as we see on the screen (in the air section), of a ship which was sunk.

@swannavon 7 лет назад

Brilliant commentary on the film. This video made me appreciate Dunkirk even more. I loved the film, including the way the timelines were handled. The film honors its subject -- the historical event, as well as the sense of close-up individual human experiences. For me the film conveyed the enormity of the event, the danger, the tragedy and the courage. And so gorgeously filmed.

@NicholasWarnertheFirst 5 лет назад

The best explanation of Dunkirk's exposition I have seen/read. Thank You.

@WillingSpade 7 лет назад

The historical importance of Dunkirk is something I feel will be lost on most movie goers... If things had gone south, we may be living in a completely different world! I would have like to have seen (at least in the form of an epilogish text) an explanation of how much of a turning point in the war this was. To be fair, Nolan does this very well, but it kind of requires that the audience has a deep understanding of what took place in order to realize the gravity of the events! That's my only criticism... It was a theatrical spectacle that I will never forget!

@Morphjin47 5 лет назад

re-watch the end with subtitles....i agree with you first time i watched it it felt like the significance was lost on first watch. but after listening to the conversation at the end between the 2 soldiers on the train and watching the reactions of everyone involved...it was pretty clear that it dawned on them how significant their victory was.

DON"T KNOW what the critics are talking about. It's a GREAT, touching movie

@michaelotis223 7 лет назад

The detractors complaints are mainly how Nolan didn't follow every prior known war movie in existence... Nolan subverts the war genre just like he did neo noir, comics and sci-fi

I think it worked. It was tense. Sure we knew the overall ending that they got off the beach. I personally believe it was the best movie to come out this year. Even over Guardians 2 and Logan. It was tense and gritty and showed the reality of war without making it gory. The scene on the beach which shows the soldier getting blown up was gritty and real. It truly felt like a different war movie that stood apart and worked fantastically

It took me about 25 min to figure out the timeline structure, but then I really liked Dunkirk. Is amazing. I think the film would have worked with lesser known actors too because there film itself is the star.

Meddling with timeline to create alternative suspence is Chris Nolan's forte, his movie is just delicious the way it is.

@Mmontoya94 7 лет назад

The HBO series The Pacific did a great job of showing multiple perspectives during WWII. It was created by Tom Hanks and Steven Speilberg. It's also one of few movies/ shows that doesn't glamorize war, it's shown for what it is.

@SamSphinx 6 лет назад

Melanie Montoya Dunkirk didn't glorify it either.

@ilovekitten3000 7 лет назад

dunkirk was amazing tension wise, but where it failed for me is making me invested in the characters stories. i can't remember a single characters name. i was constantly getting the dark haired white guys mixed up. maybe that was to leave them as blank canvasses for the everyman, but it really didn't work for me.

@ukvaishnav 7 лет назад

honesty it deserved and needs right now. took me a while but very hilarious pun.

@akashmatthew 7 лет назад

Not saying that the structure was faulty... I don't even have a problem with us finding out people's Fates in other timelines. That was actually good. A few scenes fell a little out of place. Like that scene with Cillian Murphy denying the soldiers to board on the boat. The screenplay was good, bit not a very solid one.

@hallyuotaku2777 7 лет назад

"he made one of the best superhero movies" "one of the best heist movies ever" "one of the best sci-fi movies" "and now one of the best war films ever" now I want Nolan to direct One Piece live action!!

The editing made it seem like Hardy's plane was gliding forever. Soldiers had already made it home and the boy's death was in the paper, yet Hardy's plane was still gliding. That made it a bit confusing.

Dunkirk has three different timeline, I'm really surprise Jeremy Jahns didn't get that. I used to like his review a lot, now i like Chris Stuckmann review style more.

@vishalcain 7 лет назад

I agree with Jeremy Jahns. I still don't get the timeline thing either. This movie was a mess for me, with no character development at all. I couldn't remember the names of any characters nor did I care for them. This movie was saved by the fantastic visuals and camera work.

@arb6729 7 лет назад

The editing is as messy as the timeline. Never had seen a movie with so much bad editing than this one.

@michaelotis223 7 лет назад

I disagree with Jeremy's opinion, but I understand why he wasn't into it.... Him like most people have a way with which movies like this ought to go - Nolan subverts this just like how he subverts neo noir, comics and sci-fi genres. Kinda amazing people walked into Dunkirk expecting Saving Private Ryan Part 2 or something....

Is the golden age of Nolan over? Before 2012 his movies were almost flawless and everyone loved them. But since TDKR all his movies has had major backlash and a lot of issues and people are saying they lost their trust in Nolan

@Jotakumon 7 лет назад

Fantasy. We need a good fantasy movie by Nolan now.

@bassgasmask 7 лет назад

Ii wonder how he would handle it. He should dabble in almost every genre(if he wants to)... but i think Nolan said he wouldn't want to do a comedy or romantic comedy(i forgot which one) but would like to see if he is capable of doing a zombie flick, 007 movie,

@Jotakumon 7 лет назад

It was comedy I believe. And the reason he stated is that it is quite difficult to do a good comedy, one that would please a larger audience, and himself too. As for the next genre he's using, I wished he went into the fantasy direction, but it will probably be something more simple. My bet is on a "simple" drama, or a Western. Maybe another sci-fi thriller, he's made several of those, but maybe he keeps getting back.

What's with the yellow noses on the Luftwaffe planes?

@richardvernon317 6 лет назад

The Germans painted the noses and rudders of the Bf-109's yellow so that they stopped shooting each other down (they had quite a few blue on blue (friendly fire) incidents) when they started fighting the RAF over the Channel at the start of the Battle of Britain in July 1940 (about six weeks after this film is set). Its not accurate for Dunkirk, but Nolan wanted the viewers (the vast majority of which are not aircraft spotters) to be able to tell the Spitfires and Bf-109's apart.
