The King is about a young king who gets tricked into fighting the french, then realizing at the end, that his actual enemy was another englishman. Also, Dunkirk doesn't really show the french, but the introduction scene makes it clear that the english desperatly try to cross the sea - all while the french soldiers give them a chance to retreat, basically sacrificing themselves for the greater good.
