Man, that looks dope. It's going to be a visual masterclass at the very least.
Plus it's in a packed month with Spider Man, Planet of the Apes, Valerian and the City of a Thousand Planets, Atomic Blonde, and The Emoji Movie. I think Dunkirk might bomb in America.
Out of the 5 movies you listed at least 3 of them have the potential to perform really poorly. I agree that Dunkirk could disappoint at the box office though. I'm not sure what qualifies a movie as a bomb but I'm not sure it will be that much of a failure.
I feel the same
This looks pretty damn good.
Honestly, there were more than a few shots in this that reminded me of the last half of Titanic.
Except with, you know... WWII dogfighting happening at the same time.
I'm real curious if this isn't the wartime drama punctuated with bits of startling action, but is in fact a straight up fucking action movie.
Still don't get a hook for this movie. It's going to be Nolan's lowest opening/grossing movie yet.
I'm fine with that but hope the movie is good.
Some more controversial and argued than others, but among other things Lord Gort's one sided (and possibly before getting such orders- technically making it akin to desertion) decision to retreat to Dunkirk with BEF troops without informing his Belgian and French allies who would then unwittingly provide cover for the retreat?
I mean... Surely you do not fully buy the whole "Dunkirk Miracle was really a victory" war propaganda thing, right?
I have no idea what this movie is about.
I think you're delusional putting all of those movies except Spiderman before a new Nolan movie lolPlus it's in a packed month with Spider Man, Planet of the Apes, Valerian and the City of a Thousand Planets, Atomic Blonde, and The Emoji Movie. I think Dunkirk might bomb in America.
I don't know man, looks good to me.
It's not clear who the protagonist or the important characters even are, tho.
You can say it's like Mad Max Fury Road, action top to bottom, but Mad Max had a very simple frame work and characters to have that work well.
I think you're delusional putting all of those movies except Spiderman before a new Nolan movie lol
I liked the first trailer a lot better tbh
Also makes me sad that Nolan uses Interstellar as his claim to fame now instead of The Prestige, Memento or even Inception. Oh well.
The fact that you think this is Toryism is a perfect embodiment of the mindset that will ensure the Tories keep winning.In our current political climate, I feel like this film's naked Toryism is really just distasteful, sorry.
Depends how the film treats known events and is willing to challenge the UK-school induced reverence to the "miracle of Dunkirk" imo.The fact that you think this is Toryism is a perfect embodiment of the mindset that will ensure the Tories keep winning.
Is Harry Styles gonna get squished by two boats?
That can happen when you have two different boats that are both headed in one direction.Is Harry Styles gonna get squished by two boats?
I mean I think Valerian is going to bomb here too, but I think it's got more appeal to the younger demographic and women than Dunkirk does and they both open at the same time. I don't think Dunkirk brings a lot of the older generation either due to lack of interest in a battle most Americans probably are unaware of, and more importantly it doesn't involve us. LOL
I'm certain Dunkirk's budget is massive because Nolan's salary alone was 20 million.
That's one hell of a desperate attempt to win an Oscar.
Harry Styles is in it, the tweenies will turn out for it en masse.
Edit, beaten to mention Harry Styles like a Labour councillor at the local elections today.
Doesn't look very Oscar baity to me. There would be more crying breakdowns and remembrances of life on the farm.That's one hell of a desperate attempt to win an Oscar.
The lack of any French and the vocal overlay of Churchill's "We Shall Fight on the Beaches" speech tells me that this is going to unfiltered "Miracle of Dunkirk". It's sad really because there's a fine film that can be made about the real thing.Depends how the film treats known events and is willing to challenge the UK-school induced reverence to the "miracle of Dunkirk" imo.
There is I think space for both an inspirational tale of events that resulted in inflated morale after a crushing defeat, events possibly contributing to the eventual success of the Allies in 1944, alongside a well measured critique of the "myth" part.
That's one hell of a desperate attempt to win an Oscar.
