RE: A Geeky Guy's Movie Guide to Dunkirk
This movie is apparently a horrendous experience for anyone who knows a bit about history.
Dunkirk beach looks also incredibly pristine. And what happened to the French Army? They are not even mentioned when it was their jobs to hold the krauts to let the English Army escapes.
For the sake of good shoots, the movie is quite ignorant of its own subject.
It's tough making films set in war because you have to please the history buffs. I think you have to view this film as a narrow snapshot of a handful of British soldiers rather than an in-depth overview of the events at Dunkirk.
There were a couple of brief mentions of the French but that is another reason I wanted it to be longer. Too many details left out.
