Dunkirk Movie Analysis

Over the summer, I went to go watch the movie Dunkirk in the theatre. Dunkirk is directed by Christopher Nolan and was produced by him and Emma Thomas. It was released on July 13, 2017 , and has the potential to be nominated for two Oscars.

This movie is all about the Dunkirk evacuation that happened in 1940. The movie starts with the British troops and all the other ally troops being stuck on beach of Dunkirk, trying to evacuate 400 000 men. They were stuck nowhere to go and can only escape with a ship which could have been bombed. The story starts of with a very dire situation.

Something I liked about this movie was that there wasn't a lot of dialogue but yet, we were able to understand three different stories that were occurring in the story. The three
There was no one hero who saved everyone from danger and disaster, whereas in Dunkirk, a group of people worked to free themselves and others. This was another thing I liked about the movie. My favourite scene in the movie was the end when tommy read the newspaper about how even if war was over we shouldn't stop if they attack again. And future generations should fight too. I liked this scene because it was very emotional to watch how they were still willing to fight for the country even though they had just experienced the life taking risks. The background that came along with this scene made it even more memorable and emotional.

My favorite actor from this movie was Fionn Whitehead. Even though he didn't have a lot of lines, his expression was all that was needed. It was interesting how you could learn and understand so much about a character just by their actions and expressions. My other favorite actor was Harry Styles. I was excited to watch this movie mainly because of him as I used to be a fan of his music band. His role in the film was basically a survival story along with Fionn Whitehead. As both of the actors were new to the film
