This movie is just a bunch of vignettes joined loosely together by the fact that they all involve the Dunkirk evacuation. Just a bunch of small stories intertwined together and no real ending except that all the soldiers were evacuated somehow and the Nazi Empire remained an empire for the next five years!?!? I mean why make a Dunkirk fiasco movie in the first place? At least in Saving Private Ryan they show the allies winning in the end. Dunkirk is just the stupid invasion of Dunkirk in which the British didn't have any plan whatsoever on how to win the war. So they send the troops to the beach and then realize "hey we got no plan on what to do next and darn all our troops are about to be killed!" So they mount a form of evacuation in which the British civilians use their boats to help in the evacuation. Awww.....so sweet.

Don't be fooled. Nolan is just wanting to be a greater director than Spielberg by making his own WWII movie. And it fails. I mean why choose the Dunkirk evacuation as a source material in the first place especially when there are so many other interesting battles and facts about WWII? Dunkirk just shows the British stupidity in WWII and exposes the fact that Nolan is a hack. Nolanites, now burst with anger!
