Christopher Nolan's 2017 film Dunkirk is arguably one of the greatest cinematic experiences of all time and yet it's often forgotten about when people think of Nolan's films. Normally people jump to Inception, Batman, Interstellar, The Prestige, but not Dunkirk; why is that?
I would argue it's because, masterpiece that this film is, it's lacking some of the theme and characterisation of those films. Dunkirk is more an experience than an exploration into ourselves via the stories of others. It's Nolan at his most Nolan: incredible spectacle and driving force, yet loose characterisation. For the context of this film, that suits perfectly, however that still remains a slight weakness of his that can be glimpsed in the background of other great films he's made.
My Little Thought Tree is my channel for drawing out the deeper meaning and emotion in film, TV, and the world at large through relaxed, analytical video essays. I am a professional counsellor and often draw on my psychology and therapy background to better understand characters, themes, and emotion in fiction. I upload every Saturday and occasionally on Tuesdays, if I'm feeling productive.
