I have to be honest, the Dunkirk evacuation makes for a shitty movie. It's just a historical incident about Allied soldiers losing and having to retreat.
Nolan and the Brits want to play it up as some "triumph of the British spirit" bullshit, but it wasn't. It was the aftermath of a military failure that involved using civilian boats to get guys out of France. It would be interesting to read a non-fiction book about it, but it's not suitable for a big-budget movie. There's no characters, there's no plot, and there's no message. It's just "look at some of these guys eventually eat jam on toast".
It's unironically one of the greatest propaganda stunts of history.
Turning a defeat into a victory where the common man actually thought he was doing his bit to win the war
Adam Bailey
Like all war movies from the winning side (and many from the losing side) it's mostly masturbation, but in the post SPR-era you have to hide your masturbation behind a facade of "grit" and faux objectivity. At least when John Wayne shot Gooks in Vietnam it was genuine in its simplicity and lacked the dishonesty of the modern war film. As I said, this is mostly due to Spielberg and later Band of Brothers changing the rules.
Sebastian James
Nolan is a hack
Jeremiah Gonzalez
Churchill is a hack who could've easily saved all 400k (French included) but didn't want to spare any destroyers or planes because fuck actual people we need machines to win the war
Hunter Sanders
You had to be there.
Ian Wright
>you will never be an american getting this upset over a movie apocalypse now is shit because the US lost!
Nathaniel Johnson
Churchill himself said DIRECTLY AFTERWARDS that this was a colossal military defeat. Fuck off you retards, it's called the Miracle of Dunkirk for a reason.
It's as if God himself swept away the rough sea.
Jacob Rogers
It's mentioned explicitly that it was a military disaster, and the soldiers repeatedly mention feelings of failure.
That being said, the evacuation was an incredible effort and a success.
Jace Bailey
film about operation cottage when
Jonathan Perez
too bad its kino americlap
Asher Davis
Did you watch the film? This is explained in it.
Destroyers entering the harbour, and perhaps being sunk, would have blocked the harbour for more boats. Hence, one destroyer at a time. There were plenty of ships.
You're probably an American teenager. Hence cannot comprehend this film at all.

Haha, Jesus. Americans literally lose against no one.

Reminder that survival (of the anglo) is victory.

Britbong soldiers are worthless. Their commanders are worse. Have you seen A Bridge Too Far? Better to save the ships and hope to fight the Germans in the air and on the sea.
Elijah Thompson
>vietnam lol
Dylan Hughes
I agree with you OP.
I really like Nolan's work but why make a WW2 movie about a retreat? Even Churchill said "wars are not won by retreats".
I guess you could be happy your army wasnt completrly obliterated.
He should have made a film about the eastern front where the actual war was fought.
Michael Martinez
>TheWar of 1812(1812–1815) was a conflict fought between theUnited Statesand theUnited Kingdomand their respective allies. Historians in Britain often see it as a minor theater of theNapoleonic Wars; however, in the United States andCanada, it is seen as a war in its own right.
Anglo-Saxon warrior spirit combined with superior tactical nous and technology.
Americans were/are just fodder.

you dont have history books in america ?
Ian Cruz
> why make a WW2 movie about a retreat? Typical American response. You don't understand the point of the movie at all.
> He should have made a film about the eastern front where the actual war was fought. Because Britain didn't fight on the Eastern Front.

If it weren't for America, Britain would be speaking German right now
Luis Cruz
It was a movie about survival, both individually and of a nation, about persistence, about what it really means to be a man, about the pant-shitting terror of war and the effort of an entire nation, even old civilians and women to persist and survive But such noble ideas are above a drooling retard like yourself so despite all the dive-bombing and dogfights it couldn't hold your attention because war is about more than the masturbatory action but an actual matter involving logistics and hard decisions
Step it up lad if I can wrap my burger brain around it surely you can

>Why did a British director make a film about an event that the U.K calls 'The Miracle of Dunkirk' >American education literally produces people of this caliber

Ayden Gray
>why make a WW2 movie about a retreat? Why not? You ameritards really can't even fathom that a ww2 film can be something other than the usual WE THE BEST LET'S KILL ALL THE EBIL NAZIS SO HEROIC SO PATRIOTIC SO VICTORIOUS shootout gorefest narrative. A film set in ww2 can be literally about whatever, and this is a suspense thriller about transporting a fuckload of people from point A to point B set in a war setting.

Holy FUCK that sounds intense. Hopefully someone makes a Psychological Thriller about whether Susan from Accounting can finish her paperwork before closing time!!
Liam Sanders

Nicholas Howard
Bullshit. And you know it.
Did the French end up speaking German? Or the Czechs? No, of course not.
And Hitler loved the British.
Evan Sanchez
The Anglo-Saxons had a nation of millions and were conquered by 5,000-9,000 Normans and French adventurers.
Chase Bennett
You have to look at it from a non-US perspective user
We as Americans have tons of cool battles and liberations but for the rest of the Allies it was losses until we came in so they don't have much to work with
Jordan White
WE'D NEVER MAKE A FILM ABOUT A MILITARY LOSS RIGHT GUYS
>if you criticise Dunkirk as a meaningless event in ww2 it was you're an american
wow brits sure are idiots
keep telling us how Dunkrik helped the allies in any way
Robert Cooper
>Nolan and the Brits want to play it up as some "triumph of the British spirit" bullshit,
Did you even watch the film? The only people to fire shots in anger are the french
the brits are the ones who run away only to be shot in the back or drown, it's more of a survival film than anything
Logan Ward
pretty sure they didn't try and turn it into a victory. Also, 300,000~ is not a small amount of soldiers and getting them back to safety to fight another day is a small victory in of itself compared to them all killed or captured..

Yes, because no other ship in history has ever hit a mine.
It hits all the SJW progressive buttons that hollywood loves and i-Ooooooohhhh, it's asians, nevermind. Hollywood only wants to milk the black diversity cake. And given recent casting decisions, they'd p[probably cast 30% chinese, 50% blacks, and 3 whites and 1 quarter japanese woman for the 442nd.
Jordan Russell
Kept Britain in the fight, thereby securing the jumping-off point for the Normandy invasions and keeping the Atlantic and North Africa campaigns on the go.

They already cast britcucks as irish, and welsh as germans and many other such instances because if they look close enough it doesn't matter. There's no sense in getting upset over something so trivial weeb.
