Dunkirk
“Ladies and Gentlemen, please welcome to the stage, Mr. Christopher Nolan.”
I don’t care what anyone thinks or say, Nolan is one of the best working directors of this generation, perhaps of any generation, he’s a megalomaniac, his films have such a big scale with such a deep emotional impact, everything feels so special.
“Dunkirk” is Nolan’s most underrated work, it’s spectacular, it’s thrilling and it’s easy to understand, different than some of his films this is one of his easiest watches but one of the most important.
It’s about the horrors of war but also about the silent heroism, about the people, about how fragile we are but we keep fighting for our lives and for what we think it’s right.
I feel like this movie has a really short runtime and I’d love to see an extended version of this, some things would’ve been more explored and it would create a deeper bond with the views.
The whole cast is good, even Harry Styles was actually solid but I need to talk about Tom Hardy, we can’t see his face through almost the whole film but his eyes have so much emotion, he was easily the best part of it, I’ve never seen such an emotional performance with so little words and without even being able to see his face.
The unique way of telling this story is just beautiful, having three timelines that meet each other at the end is just amazing, it’s perfect and works perfectly.
