Dunkirk


Unless one of the main characters is similar to Ken Watanabe in Letters From Iwo Jima. And is a really good military strategist that's considered borderline crazy for letting the troops wait as long as they did. I don't think KW's character was crazy and I'm not suggesting that it was implied. Like a character that's ahead of the game without knowing or having much proof to go on. People respect him but they can't help but roll their eyes or express nerves when he continues to tell his associates to wait. I think something like that would leave room for creative insight as opposed to another war movie. I really doubt this will be a typical war film. As a fan of Nolan's I can tell you that I was not impressed with Interstellar. I was bored to tears by the end of it. Way too scientific. I mean sure I followed it. But, the heavy dialogue took away the momentum. Unless of course it was *beep* put together to sound scientifically accurate then I would reiterate my original statement. Again, the idea of filmmaking isn't always to make something that's instantly understood or appreciated.

Jesus, use paragraphs more often. Nearly put my eyes out.

What's missing in movies is same as in society: a good sense of work ethic and living up to ideals.
