Fun fact! Most, if not all, of those boats they focus on during the scene they arrive… are the ACTUAL boats that were there at Dunkirk. Those little ships make a yearly trip on the anniversary in memory of the ‘Miracle at Dunkirk’.

There were approximately 330,000 soldiers rescued at Dunkirk. 220,000 British and 110,000 French troops. Most of the French troops turned around and returned to France to continue to fight the Germans. Sadly that did not turn out well. Some remained in England and formed the free-French forces.

Another good movie about WW2 but from a German perspective is "Das Boot" which shows the most realistic depiction of how it was to serve in a WW2 submarine and is rated internationally amongst the best war of maybe anti-war movies, still. The depiciton of narrowness, isolation and the feeling of being 'closed in' and how it affects individuals is pretty intense.

Hi guys great reaction, something i wanted to mention which you mentioned at the end of the movie These people did no volunteer, many did, but from 1939, there was a conscription, every male, up to the age of 41, if he could not be replaced at a work bench was drafted into the army, they then went up to 51 years old being the home guard, and the women, up till the age of 30, were drafted, in the army, navy airforce or the land army, or working in the war plants, they were not allowed to leave there jobs or be sacked without governemt approval, dont forget, germany had took france, and britain was only 20 miles from german guns, every person was in the front line so to speak, as well as food rashions that ran from 1939 to 1954, for 2 years britain as on its own, dunkirk was the country coming back together, not a retreat, but a re focus

The RAF performed prodigously over the skies at Dunkirk and matched the Luftwafe and kept the troops on the beach as safe as they could.

@ptthatswhatshesaid 5 ай бұрын

They always did 👌🏻 I've heard that they were not as present as they could have during the Dunkirk operation because the UK was scared of losing too many planes and só they were saving them.

@HenriHattar 5 ай бұрын

@@ptthatswhatshesaid The truth is they were there over Dunkirk and in significan t numbers, they took large losses but denied the sky to the Germans and becuase of THEM the navy (which took tremendous losses too) and the samll boats got the men off, with the airforce sacrificing themselves this would NOT have happened.

I really like how the movie portrays the different perception of time progression for characters in the various theaters of war that are in air, at sea or on land. It's amazing how Nolan integrated all these inconsistent time frames into one consistent movie. When it comes to fudging around with time Nolan delivered here one of his best works on par with Memento and in my opinion even better than Tenet and Interstellar (regarding the time fuckery).

Hi Daniel and Lucy just seen your reaction and glad you both enjoyed the film, It is a good film but do wish Nolan had made it more grimy and shown how the town really looked, and that he had also shown some of the rearguard fighting as well as it was also an important part of keeping the troops safe on the beach and buying them time to evacuate, Also I have a personally interest in this time period as my grandfather was a infantryman in the 4th Oxon and Buck and was part of the rearguard defense and was captured at the battle of Cassel on the 29th of May and spent the rest of the war as a POW in Poland.

@ptthatswhatshesaid 9 ай бұрын

Hey there! I agree, one of the stories could have been about the defenders holding the lines for example. I also think the movie coulda have been more violent and dirty. Still, what amazing air fighting sequences! Sound, soundtrack, editing and cinematography were all great! And ultimately, the courage of an entire nation is on full display in this one I would say. We are not british, but I would say that if we were that was a moment we would had been proud of our people 👌

@@ptthatswhatshesaid I agree with you there was so much more Nolan could've done in the film, but what he did do was still worth watching, If you want to check out some more WW2 films The Bridge on the River Kwai, released 1957 which stars Sir Alec Guinness is a good film set in a Japanese POW camp. Dunkirk released 1958 stars John Mills and is a very good film and has a much more real feel to it, And Where Eagles Dare, released 1968 which stars Richard Burton and Clint Eastwood, Iron Maiden the greatest heavy metal band in the world wrote a song based on the film. also will there be a Bladerunner reaction anytime soon.
