I loved it. I love more of the three overarching stories that come together in the end. The movie is called DUNKIRK, not Don at Dunkirk. The title IS the movie, and it's honestly the only time I've heard people complain about a movie giving what its title implies. I remember when people complained about the recent Godzilla movie because the story sucked and there was no Godzilla for most of the movie. Dunkirk is the only thing that is present in the movie called Dunkirk, giving characters a backseat to show the overall helplessness and problems with the situation at hand, relegating the story of Escaping Dunkirk through 3.5 mini stories, and of course, people complain there's no story to it and the characters sucked.
Dunkirk gives exactly what the history books implied, along with plenty of action. There are NO major people from the battle itself, so it's understandable there's no clear story of struggle. Each of the few people represent the many that fought. The soldiers showed the helpless individuals on the beach, willing to do anything to get back home (and who could blame them?). The three pilots represent the many in the Royal Air Force fighting against the Gerrys who were going to town on the helpless boats/servicemen. The generals showed they had no power over their men, and they were basically at the mercy of their own people. And the family represented the thousands of civilians willing to do anything to keep their home safe. It encapsulated perfectly what was probably the most Influential historical event in the past 100 years. If we lost, the world as we know it, would not exist.
It's more of a think about it movie, and after doing that, it is probably my 3rd favorite movie I've seen in theaters.
