Dunkirk
Director Christopher Nolan chronicles a historical day in May of 1940 where Allied forces are surrounded & trapped at Northern France's Dunkirk beach. It's 2 hours of anguish & agony watching these poor soldiers & rescuers being sitting ducks on the beach & in the waters targeted by German gunfire, air bombing attacks, & U-boat torpedoes. This is also the story of the nameless soldiers who jumped from the frying pan into the fire just trying to escape & survive as well as the unsung heroes who made their sacrifices count for something. As their darkest hour approaches, a sea of civilian boats arrive to aid in the rescue of more than 300,000. This is an intense, powerful, & emotional movie filmed on an epic scale. It is a masterful tribute those whose fought, died, & survive at Dunkirk. Nolan puts you there in the middle of mass confusion & desperation.
Alien gives it 3 "sacrifice & never give up" stars out of 4.
