I, too, want to see this one in a nice, comfortable, theatre. Christopher Nolan is a director known for cinema of "epic proportion" and it appears Dunkirk is no exception. As a kid I remember my older English relatives relating stories about how ordinary citizens got caught up in this "pre-US entry into WWII" * slice of history. It always seemed unreal to me, just like my father's war stories in the BRN. It will be nice to see what all the fuss was about.BoSoxGal wrote:... Is it one that would be best seen in the theatre?...
WTF?????? Are you one of those who believes that WWII started in December 1941? Those are fighting words. I will charitably assume that you are being sardonic for some questionable comedic effect.pre-WWII slice of history.
Back in the day they may have inserted the token American or two — for box-office appeal — in the old movie "The Great Escape" and played fast and loose with the historical facts in "Battle of the Bulge" (as well as made up the whole feckin' thing for "Kelly's Heroes" and "Where Eagles Dare"), but I think in this day and age they're going to be much more accurate and true to the actual record.Scooter wrote:Wait, let me guess, the version played for American audiences has the US Navy saving the day by evacuating them all from the beaches.
Don't read the next sentence because it's a spoiler... I especially liked it at the end when Tom Cruise showed up and dropped the atom bomb!!Scooter wrote:Wait, let me guess, the version played for American audiences has the US Navy saving the day by evacuating them all from the beaches.
A film critic has been ridiculed after claiming that there were not enough women and 'actors of colour' in World War II movie Dunkirk.
USA Today writer Brian Truitt hit out at the lack of diversity in the movie which revolves around the British Expeditionary Force - an army which did not have females among its ranks.
Despite his historical blunder, the critic generally gave the film by director Christopher Nolan a glowing review - going as far as praising the 'real-life heroism' of the famous evacuation in 1940.
He added: 'Nolan's ambitious story revolves around three tales unfolding at different times over land, sea, and air, only coming together at the end.'
But Truitt lamented the film's lack of diversity claiming 'the fact that there are only a couple of women and no lead actors of colour may rub some the wrong way'.
He has now been criticised on Twitter with one user joking: 'Historical accuracy... how dare they!'
