Christopher Nolan has been one of the most influential directors in the past 17 years. Memento, Batman Begins, The Prestige, The Dark Knight, Inception, The Dark Knight Rises, Interstellar. All with financial and critical success. Dunkirk is my least favorite. From the technical standpoint movie delivers, but when it comes to delivering true depiction of survival,war and event itself, the movie fails.PG 13 rating is just not enough to show true horror those soldiers endured. War movies are very tricky to direct, and it is either great or bad. There is no middle ground. Viewer has to able to feel in their gut what those people experienced. I just did not find this movie intense and for me it did not look real. I've been thru 4 years of war and I know what Im talking about. The director has to show blood, true fear, desperation, fighting for survival, panic. Every single emotion related to this kind of event. I gave it 7 stars for technical and visual achievement and couple of good performances.
