When refusal to use CGI hurts a movie

It was a lazy minimalistic movie overal with shitty unrealistic airfights. Only good part was the yacht.

then framed the shot terribly. the beach was so empty

Yeah I agree - what makes it worse is that I think his approach to the narrative structure of the film was absolutely incredible. Score is arguably the best of 2017 (I consider it on par with BR2049), cinematography is topnotch as expected, and the sound editing is on another level. And yet those slight issues that could have easily been fixed (even in post production) ruin it from being a masterpiece imo.

It utterly dishonors the huge sacrifices made by so many. Like the thousands of English civilians risking their lives to help.

Oh wow this genius narreative structure was even done in anime multiple times. Nolan is such a genius.

I thought the minimalism, i.e. the lack of over-dramatic character moments made it masterful, especially since the film was trying to capture the event, and the countless individuals who needed to endure it, rather than particular archetypal characters. Like I said previously, I still think he goofed big time with the scale. A handful of establishing shots and more chaos on the beach would have fixed that issue, too.

Only goes to show what trash Nolan is, that Wright can shoot a more engaging scene. Also, Nolan can't photograph a film to safe his life. Dunkirk was like a TV movie.

Irl 90% of those boats were crewed by RN sailors.
Dunkirk overall is a great british wankfes, wow so epic, French covered our asses and Germans basicly let us escape.

I agree with the latter two points (french and german perspectives).

LAST OF THE MANNICANS

Minimalism is one thing when you want NASA to be 6 people and some tiny ships in Interstellar. It’s an entirely different thing when it’s an historical event.

A good filmmaker could have balanced the scale and stakes of the evacuation with small personal moments.

Name a bigger hack

Atonement was pure kino

Not Op but
JJ Abrams, easily
Nolan's autism is at least amusing in its own way and i really enjoyed Prestige and Incetion on the first viewing

Fine but it was still a sight to behold. A massive fleet of rag tag vessels.

Chris gives us ONE boat lmfao

>muh minimalism

He could have made a small personal movie about any number of battles from WW2.

To specifically choose the evacuation of Dunkirk was a huge mistake. The size of the stranded force was exactly what makes Dunkirk special.

Motherfucking Royal Navy can't evecuate their own army across a channel that you can literally swim across ahahahaa
Muh British empire hahaha

Success breeds jealousy

I still remember when Yea Forums was defending Nolan by posting photos that'd been taken of the the very edge of the beach or the emptiest fringes of the evacuation.

Seriously, why is this board so fucking retarded?

Is this a map of places where loli is illegal?

They couldn’t risk their fleet that close to German air power.

Keeping the RN in reserve to defend the home island was the right call.

it's a map of where sneed posting is legal

he shouldn't do war movies but i get why he might have wanted to branch out and try something new. his style would have worked if it followed an infantry unit or a paratrooper unit in another setting. i think even showing an africa setting with tanks would have been amazing and something we never really seen before

That's a fair point - I meant more of the "minimalism" of character backstory, and lack of over-dramatic monologues.

Very jelous how it fell apart within few years.

All good things must come to an end. Lasted a lot longer than the "German" empire anyway

At no point did I ever feel like I was watching anything more than a reenactment. The uniforms were clean, the beach was pristine despite supposedly having been bombed repeatedly, the evacuation zone full of people standing around in complete orderly rows perpendicular to the shore without any clutter like they'd only just gotten there, no signs whatsoever that they'd been there for weeks or were even tired, no defensive perimeters beyond that one French post we saw in the town. Nolan you goddamn hack.

>A good filmmaker
It's a Nolan film.

>I still remember when Yea Forums was defending Nolan
Really? I thought all the Nolanfags killed themselves after dark knight rises made the man a laughing stock.

It was the most obnoxious bullshit since taxposting. Nolanfags literally scoured Google image search for the most barren photos taken at the evacuation to prove Nolan got it right and any other depiction of Dunkirk was historical revisionism.

>”it’s minimalist!”
>epic wide shots every 10 secs

Yeah you watched History Buffs. good job
