Dirt Detective Posted August 27, 2017 Share #201 Posted August 27, 2017 one way of judging how good a movie was is do you actually remember the movie? some movies seem to be forgotten easily if it's not a great movie I saw DUNKIRK about three weeks ago, and I already forgot about it or dont even think about it anymore, it only took a few days. And..do you want to see it again?? For me..No Once was enough. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Retired Army Noncom Posted August 27, 2017 Share #202 Posted August 27, 2017 While at WallyWorld today, I checked the $4.99 junk bin and Dunkirk hasn't made it there yet so it must be doing OK............so far. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is predicted that it will run for two-three more weeks and will also fare well with the academy this year, sooooo, not likely to be in the cheap bin for a while... Haters gonna hate, but the facts don't lie. Scott Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

63 RECON Posted September 14, 2017 Share #206 Posted September 14, 2017 Good little podcast from Dan Snow with author and ww2 historian James Holland who wrote books on the Dam Busters and Battle of Britain just to name a few. https://www.acast.com/dansnowshistoryhit/howaccurateischristophernolansdunkirk--jamesholland Pretty interesting points from a very knowledgeable guy.

ScottG Posted December 20, 2017 Share #210 Posted December 20, 2017 It finished at $525.60 million at the box office. While at the mall this evening I saw two dvd and blue ray displays nearly cleaned out from todays release. So, no matter if you liked, loved or hated it, it will go down as a monumental success for the genre. Scott Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Retired Army Noncom Posted December 20, 2017 Share #211 Posted December 20, 2017 Out of 100 ? 4 out of five. The attention to detail could have been better. Needed more extras, more abandoned equipment, pano shots were rather lifeless. Aircraft seems it took forever to down but ships went down within seconds. Seems that 90% got off with their headgear but hundreds were left on the beach, so showed at the end, lots of helmets but no shots of hundreds of abandoned vehicles. What % of civilian watercraft was shown compared to what was actually used? Very little...............what it did show was the sacrifice and bravery of that generation, that can never be put in doubt. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Retired Army Noncom Posted December 21, 2017 Share #214 Posted December 21, 2017 What you;d have given it 5 stars in your opinion . Hardly, anyone can judge for themselves. Take the movie scenes from the movie and put them up next to actual photos and you'll see the movie producer needed thousands of more extras and equipment to make the beach scenes more to truth and more convincing. There was over 800 private boats in the actual operation, how many was in the movie? 15 maybe 20? The producer fell short presenting History as it actually happened.....IMO.

cutiger83 Posted December 22, 2017 Share #218 Posted December 22, 2017 What % of civilian watercraft was shown compared to what was actually used? One interesting fact about the civilian boats is that every boat used in the movie was an actual boat used at Dunkirk. Not many people know that many of the actual boats used at Dunkirk in WWII are still around and still in use today. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
