I'm looking forward to seeing this film too, it'll be good knowing that there is no token Yank in there,
just to please American audiences. The Great escape, involving British servicemen had to have Steve McQueen
tear arsing about on a motorbike, and although a good film most of it was fantasy.

Annoying film really. One five minute sequence of Atonement gave a better idea of what the beach at Dunkirk was like. Branagh wasted on delivering one liners or explanations for the audience of what was going on. And hated the music.
Bad taste last remark since 40000 French soldiers died or were captured holding off the Germans so the BEF and their own troops could get away. And we were retreating you know. "We shall never surrender" is a nice line but the speech obviously envisaged what would happen if we did.
I presume the British soldiers captured also surrendered.
It would be too boring for audiences now. No battles; not enough explosions.They should do a remake of the Dambusters.
Was watching skynews where they all sit around a table and discuss topics of the week well to cut a long story short the Dambusters was mention and this person didn't even know about the Dambusters.
We've always moaned at Americans in film winning the war.French journalists are moaning the film doesn't include enough of the French, one writing for French Huffpost even saying it's typically British to be selfish.
I don't recall us moaning at Saving Private Ryan not having a single British person in the film.
Maybe Nolan ran out of budget for white flags?

Watched it at imax in town last night. Great film but thought the beach and sea scenes could have used more CGI to give the illusion of the sheer size of the operation. We had lines of troops waiting for ships to arrive numbering about 200 troops. There was 400,000 in and around Dunkirk! The flatilla of boats were in there thousands too and yet we only saw a handful. So too in the sky. We had three spitfires and that was it. Maybe they didn't have the budget to beef up the numbers a bit either through CGI or in extras etc. Still, don't let it put you off. Really good to see a BRITISH war film though. We just need a decent WW1 British film now. A top blockbusting Battle of the Somme please.
