very much looking forward to it, reading books about it were amazing.
We saw it yesterday, too. It made me want to read more about it.
Saw Stephen Corbert interviewing Kenneth Branagh last night and wanted to see the movie. Hopefully next week...
I know Mark Rylance from Bridge of Spies. I think he won an Oscar for that role.Branagh was good as was Mark Rylance (Wolf Hall).
That's what was mentioned in Branagh 's interview. Some Dunkirk survivors (all in their 90s) attended movie premiere and none remembered the actual sound was as loud as in the movieThundering audio, couldn't have been much louder in 1940 at the real event.
Yes. He was fabulous!I know Mark Rylance from Bridge of Spies. I think he won an Oscar for that role.
The Miracle of Dunkirk by Walter Lord is a good read.We saw it yesterday, too. It made me want to read more about it.
Saw it yesterday in Farnborough UK in enormous almost empty theater. Quite a deal at £5 each. Thundering audio, couldn't have been much louder in 1940 at the real event.
It's a point of view movie, not terribly historical. I knew that over 800 boats took part, and there must have been more ships. Over 135 planes were lost in each side, so I didn't understand why there were only about 6 in the movie version.
We tried to go see it tonight and it was sold out.We saw the movie yesterday. Anyone else ?

My link in the previous post is a good start.We saw it in a fairly full theater this afternoon. I was not familiar with it so found it tremendously suspenseful! I was on the edge of my seat through it with heart racing! I suspect I would have been even had I known the history. And, as others have said, it led me to want to know more.
Saw it last night. Both I and DW were deeply disappointed. I don't understand how rotten tomatoes gives it 92%.
As a WWII buff, I'm very familiar with the Dunkirk operation. From watching the film, you'd think that it involved about 3 companies of men, 3 planes on each side, a few Navy destroyers, and a dozen small boats. Where's the scale? Where's the background? Yes, the film had some excellent technical achievements -- the IMAX videography from the planes and exceptional use of sound that built suspense -- heck, that was the *only* thing that built suspense. But c'mon Christopher Nolan, there were 400,000 people saved! Not just a half dozen. And where are all the Germans??? We see one German pilot.
Two thumbs down. And we were so looking forward to it, hoping it would be good.
