I have great hopes for the movie "Dunkirk"
Going to see it tomorrow God Willing and the creek don't rise. I told a friend what it was about and she said, "How do you know this?"
I thought everyone knew about Dunkirk, like everyone knows about Gettysburg. Doesn't everyone?Anyway, I love anything about WWII. Or the Civil War. I got that way from typing Mr Charm's essays and term papers. He majored in British History, but the Civil War was his passion.

Be interested to read your verdict. Others I have read panned it as just another war movie. But one without context: no Churchill, not even a swastika. Dunkirk was epic. This movie is said not to be.
It was not just another war movie but it was not cerebral at all. Context was missing until the end. I expected something more linear: meeting where the relieving of Dunkirk was planned, how many were involved in planning, how the plans were kept secret. Also a bit more Churchill, who knew this was not a victory but a prerequisite to eventual victory.
Technically, it was very well done. My ears were ringing for hours after I left the theatre. I'd like to hear what you took away from the movie.
