Christopher Nolan's Dunkirk

[carbo-fation]

I look forward to this. Despite all the cool Nolan bashers, I still think he's one of the best film makers around and I'm sure this film will be another home-run.

 

[rushmore223]

Which one, Indy or Inception?

Indy.

 

[The Clown Prince of Crime]

Indy.

That's not the only thing Indy ripped off though.

I know, just that example is a bit of a stretch for me. GL and SS always were pretty front and center about Indy being a knock-off of the old adventure serials.

Cillian Murphy please!!!

 

[Darth Snoopy]

I always saw Raiders as a homage, not a rip/knock off, of the 30's & 40's adventure serials.

Anyway I'm looking forward to seeing this story on the big screen. I'm a big fan of WWII movies.

Knock off was probably a poor choice of words on my part.

Not another WWII film about US forces? I'm interested!

What's with the funny helmets? Who are those guys? They're not the Germans or Japanese. I'm confused.

 

[Adolfo]

The Germans let the Brits leave...They could have killed them all...fact...looks interesting though...just hope that part of it is reflected in the film

 

[abake]

Yeah, looks very interesting.
It's one of the mysteries of Hitler's thought processes that he let about 300.000 enemy soldiers flee. He wasn't exactly a humanitarian.

 

[spindrift]

I just hope this movie is something special and I mean special. Nolan is a great filmmaker but I think the choice he made doing this is questionable....after looking at all the flms he has done up to now(yeah I wanted him to do Akira but maybe next...)

It was a consolidation move that Hitler rubber-stamped. It wasn't his personal strategic decision, and the reasoning was sound.

 

[EVILFACE]

Is that Wonder Woman showing up at the end?

Hitler did have more respect for the British than most any other group in 1940...it is debatable but if he wiped them all at dunkirk it could have changed things...Those were Britain's finest men at the time...they survived and were invaluable in helping Britain as well as the allies afterwards

He acted on the advice of his field marshals and decided that the risk of a break-out was more significant than the risk of an evacuation. It was widely speculated that Britain was on the brink of surrender - it's possible that Hitler thought they were already on the ropes and not worth a decisive strike.

If it was any other nation I think it would have had a different scenario IMHO, but yes many thought Britain was close to surrender
