Dunkirk - Film
Collapse

There were over 11,000 British troops killed at Dunkirk. Over 300 aircraft from both sides were lost.
200,000 British troops were rescued along with 100,000 French troops.
Churchill would have been sacked if Dunkirk had failed. Appeasement would have followed.
And then what?
Hollywood exists to make money. It's a business.
I've seen the movie. It's made a massive amount of money. Similarly, if the film had failed, Hollywood would be reluctant to make another WW2 film.
Let's be grateful that the film was made.

Dunkirk
I have personally known four people who were actually there, not us lot guessing.All this crap about reality Spielberg et al get a grip war is not like Hollywood move on.Perhaps they should have hired a pretty boy? In the old days they hired John Wayne a man who bottled serving his country and let other actors like Jimmy Stewart go and do the dangerous stuff whilst he stayed at home and got the parts.

I think smartest words in this topic.
Seeing british comments devastating their own british theme and history by "plywood and lack of engine" in burning Spit, "Buchon", "Beach" etc - PRICELESS.
Ps.
Comments about "Fury" in "Dunkirk" topic and all attempts to comparing both films - more than stupid.

I really feel its one of the worst films I have ever seen
Another laughable flaw I noticed in it this time around is the scene with the gliding Spitfire
When the Spitfire first runs out of fuel and the engine stalls, we see the view forwards from the cockpit, the beach is on the left hand side and the Spit is moving west wards towards the 2 Moles, Kenneth Branagh's character actually looks up and watches it glide past west wards.
In the next scene, hes gliding east wards over the 2 Moles and has managed to shoot the Stuka down !!! and continues eastwards to land on the beach towards the Bray-Dunes
How did he manage to turn the plane around with no engine and glide back in the opposite direction !!! lol
Also, I am pretty certain when Kenneth Branagh's character spots the little ships, hes actually facing south east and looking inland !!!!! have to check that again !
Poor director from start to finish
Complete and utter drivel
The whole film from start to finish makes me cringe !Last edited by Totenhead; 01-07-2018, 10:03 AM.

Another thing that bugs me, why does the downed Spitfire pilot only seem to use his right arm to try and open the canopy and escape his sinking plane? Its perfectly clear in the later scenes that he has full use of both arms ???
EDIT:
My earlier comment regarding Kenneth Branagh looking in the wrong direction when he spots the little ships is incorrect, just watched it again, he is looking north east

I think there are many WAF members who won't be happy until a war film is made that is entirely accurate in its depiction. The sets painstakingly recreated from close examination of period photos and eye witness accounts. The uniforms made from period cloth sewn with the correct number of stitches with original thread. Insignia and awards made only with the original stamps and dies and out of the correct materials for a more realistic finish. Perhaps only those actors who endure 60 days of filming during the winter scenes on the Russian front will earn the right to wear the "Frozen Meat" medal. The dialogue will be made up only of lines that veteran's actually uttered. The film will run in real time, 6 years long, although it will be edited shorter for the American market, but there will be a 12 year long director's cut for German audiences.
