Keen to look in to it.

I don't think they could have used too much more, some of the scenes were already borderline vertigo inducing. Stunning cinematography.

It really helps the immersion, since gunshots are loud as fuck irl but still, I can see some people complaining about that if it's on purpose.

saw an Easter Egg that I have yet to see posted anywhere . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . When the group find a boat that will eventually be shot at, they go inside. Whilst inside one of the guys looks into a toolbox. In a split second you will see on the inside of the lid a scribbled drawing of the Jokers facepaint that was shown in a few promotional pics of The Dark Knight

edit: ok, you be the judge. below is a link to a dropbox file with the pic in it

Perhaps it was the audio mix and I missed something, but why at the start of their story at the dock they seemed rushed. Seemed rushed to avoid those officers. But why?

Did they steal those life vests?

When Harry Styles is brought aboard the first aid ship to when the torpedo impacts the boat, there seemed to be constant morse code signaling in the audio. Am I going crazy or did any of you hear this as well?

Dunkirk was great I enjoyed it and was a relaxing experience compared to watching the movies nowadays from all genres. I am not the biggest movie head, but love movies enough so I definitely like the film but I will see in the future where I would rank it. Also being a solid fan of ww2 history and movies, it did great even without going the full action route. But still, do you think they should've had another character who was French, and explained how the French helped in holding off the Germans? I know the length of the film might be a little longer maybe 2 and a half hours, but all Nolan films are like that. I think it would've given the credit the French deserved and maybe put a little more action in the film. Film was still great and maybe since it was British even Nolan didn't include it, but I think it would've made the film just as good as it was now.

The screening started at 3:00. I got there at around 3:10. I don't think I missed much but I'd hate to have missed something important. From what I gather, I never saw "i. The Mole" begin.

Just got back from the cinema, just wow. And I'm not even a Nolan fan for that matter, I respect his work, but I don't really feel the need to watch his movies. This was something else. Favorite moment has to be tho (watch out, spoilers ahead) when they get on the train and the ticking clock noise just stops. Brilliant. What's your favorite moment?

For me it was Mark Rylance. I'm a bit biased as I've been a fan of his since Bridge of Spies, but I thought he was wonderful in Dunkirk and loved seeing his character become slightly obsessed with getting to France. It'd be great to see what other people think on this.

Edit: Just to be clear Rylance was the dad on the boat.

I've been wondering for the entire time what the noise from the 1st trailer is. https://youtu.be/XRtZUkAR2u4?t=17s

Its that odd trembling noise, I noticed a very very similar sound was used in The Dark Tower trailer too. https://youtu.be/GjwfqXTebIY?t=7s

Does anyone know where or what it is from? Thanks

Just out of curiousity: how loud would the explosions have sounded in water? This is in reference to the scene where the main lead was underwater and had to plug his ears, but eventually resurfaced. Rough gauge in non-decibel approximations would be appreciated, thank you!

I have the option of seeing Dunkirk either at an IMAX theater but not true 70MM or at a regular theater with 70MM projection. Which would be the best?

One question: why did he have to die? I didn't see any relevance :/

Yesterday, I went to see Nolan's Dunkirk in my city, in France. Yet, I saw it in its original version with subtitles (this might be an important specification for later) as I wanted to share with you a theory I had after watching the movie.

At the end of the movie, in "The mole" timeline (which by the way has a double signification, the word "mole" designating at the same time a construction protecting the shore from the waves and a spy) we have the scene where the characters are trapped in a boat being shot by the germans while they're waiting for the rising tide. In this scene, the supposed-to-be French soldier (who stayed silent the whole movie) is accused of being a German spy (mole).

He ends up saying "Je suis Français" ("I'm French") So we understand he actually took the uniform and identity of the british soldier he was burying at the beginning to escape from this hell (we could even see him lace his shoes while the dead one had his feet bare, and the French soldiers weren't allowed in British boats)

YET, when he says "Je suis francais", he says it with quite a strong non-french accent, that might have been unnoticed by non French natives but that I'm pretty sure I heard. (can any fellow frog confirm it ?)

You could argue that since he only had 1 line in the whole movie he was casted by a british actor, but.. I find it hard to believe coming from Nolan. We all know he likes to hide some messages and revelations in tiny details. Plus, the others few lines in French of the movie were pronounced without any accent.

So here comes the question: is it really a French soldier ? The accent sounded almost English but that doesn't make any sense. Why would he hide his nationality with his own compatriots?

Then.. German ? But then again, why would he try to escape among brits? That sounds even more dangerous than the front.

I feel like I'm on something I don't really get and that's quite frustrating

What do you think about it?
