Amazing shot at Dunkirk!


That shot was so incredible! I can't believe more people on here aren't talking about it.

It lasted 5 whole minutes without one cut! I had to rewatch it immediately.

From 1:05 to 1:10 if you're curious.


I can truly say this film has some of the best cinematography I've seen.

Don't worry, it's been discussed, just not recently. Yes, it's a marvelous scene. Joe Wright has a penchant for long single-take tracking scenes in several of his films.

True that, yea I noticed it's been discussed a while back. I just thought it was deserving of a fresh new thread.

I only saw atonement for the first time last week. Glad I finally gave it a go.

Yes it was.

check out the opening to "The Player". It also has a long uncut opening shot (in which they talk about another movies opening shit which, like the entire film, is very meta)
