Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaAccording to Sir Kenneth Branagh, roughly thirty Dunkirk survivors, who were in their mid-90s, attended the premiere in London, England. When asked about the movie, they felt that it accurately captured the event, but that the soundtrack was louder than the actual bombardment, a comment that greatly amused writer, producer, and director Sir Christopher Nolan.
- GoofsThe Luftwaffe did not start painting fighter aircraft nose cones yellow until later in 1940. However Christopher Nolan has admitted this was done deliberately to make the German aircraft easier to identify by the audience.
- Crazy credits"The following Dunkirk little ships recreated their courageous and historic journey for this film: Caronia, Elvin, Endeavour, Hilfranor, Mary Jane, Mimosa, MTB 102, New Britannic, Nyula, Papillon, Princess Elizabeth, RIIS I"
- Alternate versionsIn Spain, the film was projected on 2.35:1 screens in the 2.20:1 aspect ratio. But the film was finally projected with black bars on the four sides of the screen. This same situation happened with Jurassic World (2015) and just before the film started a text appeared on the screen explaining the 2.00:1 aspect ratio fitting on the 2.35:1 screen adding black bars up an down. Dunkirk (2017) didn't show any explanation before the film.

Featured review
I think everyone giving this a good review is a sheep....
Bad. Saving Private Ryan, filmed 20 years ago, blows this out of the water. Someone said there is no character development to make this about all men and women on the beach/boats - what all 100 of them or so? At no point was there an exploration as to the size of the disaster, at no point do you feel any connection to any of the men or women. Of course every history buff like me will watch the film.
Is it the next SPR - no,no,no. Will you want to watch it again. No chance. Buy it on blue, no. Watch on Netflix, I'm sure there will be something better when the time comes, like, well, anything you haven't already seen.
I was actually bored of the stale "dramatic" long scene shots of actors either looking to the sky or looking to the ground. Its a very boring film in my opinion, but then I am a fan of SPR, BOB, The PAcific, Battle of Britain, Battle of the Buldge - you know, good films/series.
