Historically accurate? That was my biggest problem (among other things) with Dunkirk which was a huge disappointment to me.
So.. this DID convince me to see it. I wasn't in the mood for another war movie. I was content with the somewhat disappointing Nolan film last year. Glad I went. It balled OFF. Beautifully done. After first nightfall, when Schofield wakes up... you know... the very first time (and maybe the only?) that the "long shot" effect concludes. That specific scene looks amazing (town, debris, fire, blasts), but I thought the movie going forward from that point dragged on just a bit. So. I give it a 9.
Solid movie. my biggest issue by far was the soundtrack. It was too much, too loud, too often. I’d much have preferred much more natural sounds. I give it maybe a 8 out of 10. the single shot thing is by the most impressive and refreshing part of the movie. Unique approach. Needed. Even without it, wound have still been a very good movie.
Swelling music that tells the audience how to feel is so 20th century. It's really odd when movies do that now. (Haven't seen this one, so I'm not sure this applies.)
Should've won best picture. The movie is fantastic. The beginning march through the trench set the mood and the single shot filming gave it a real feel. I watched Parasite, and it was solid and I got the social class message, but this had more of an impact after watching.
hai gais just saw this. suxs i missed this in theaters. it's a 6.5/10 watching on my phone before going to sleep, but would've been 8.5/10 in theaters for the camera work alone. long shots and wide angles are awesome. my fave part is the big hitter actors playing minor 1-scene roles in the beginning and the end. would have loved an american actor playing a major brit role in war movies just like how brits play major american roles.
