Dunkirk has been produced with the budget of Budget: $ 100 million, Worldwide fees: $ 525 million.

 

I did not expect such a dynamo from Nolan. A film for girls from the series "Cute Britons beautifully drape, and courageous Tom Hardy successfully overcomes the law of gravity." Review of the cat BagelDunkirk-Huyunkerk. Cat Bagel on the moral message of the film, and those who expect to see another Pearl Harbor, definitely not worth it. The film offers a lot to understand and think for yourself - and this is a completely different format. Spectator The film is mixed. The meaning of its creation is clear: Nolan wanted to show the war without romanticization. Without annoying, cliched conversations about his wife and children waiting at home, without false heroism, without blind patriotism. But the idea is not enough, in my opinion. Alas. A separate minus for the volume of shots. I understand this is realism. But it was precisely this moment that could be stingy. Ears who will return to me. No rating. Ambiguous movies, it is difficult to give one kind of the point.

Dunkirk Review

First a brief historical reference, for it is the movie was made on the events that took place, world war ii.

In May 1940, some of the British, French and Belgian troops were blocked by the German troops near the town of Dunkirk. Germans advancing on the city from all sides - Army A group, two tank tanks group, Army B group.

As a result, Churchill's cabinet and The British Admiralty decided evacuate parts of the British Corps and Allied parts Troops.

On May 24, Hitler issued an order German tank divisions stop the offensive and ordered not to approach to Dunkirk is closer than 10 kilometers. And the British knew about it -- they intercepted unencrypted stop message tank troops.

Evening On 26 May, the British corps was ordered to evacuate. Tanks to Dunkirk are not came up, but the Germans fired from medium-caliber artillery, German aviation carried out constant raids, the German army constantly attacked, and they resisted the English and French troops who periodically made counterattacks.

British aviation actively opposed the Luftwaffe, and during the evacuation period, there were almost three thousand sorties, time of which 106 planes were shot down Fascists.

Operation evacuation of troops was carried out during the ten days, 693 British and 250 French vessels, also British command turned to all owners of small private vessels requesting to take part in the evacuation troops: a lot of people responded to this and with the help of these vessels, it was possible to evacuate a significant portion of the soldiers.

For ten days of evacuation managed to take out 140 thousands of British and 139,000 troops Allied countries, of which 90,000 were French, there were also a lot of Belgians and the Dutch. Nearly 60,000 more British servicemen were taken out before the start of Operation Dynamo (so-called this evacuation of Dunkirk).

When this Allied troops had to toss in Dunkirk a huge amount of weapons, equipment, and Equipment: almost 100,000 rifles, 68 tons of ammunition, 65,000 vehicles, 455 tanks, 2,470 guns, one and a half million tons fuel and 8,000 machine guns.

After the evacuation is completed 15 thousand of members of the French army, covering the last stage of the evacuation, captured by the Germans.

This is all the dry facts. Now let's do it. let's talk about what Christopher took off. Nolan. I immediately warn that there will be present spoilers so it's not recommended to read to those who film not watched but plans to do it. (Na it's actually quite perfect not necessarily, for the film to the real events has no event at all relationship.)

By cute French town Dunkirk, where beautiful and cozy houses are not told that they were constantly being bombed Germans, a merry group goes somewhat carefree Brits. You know, war, The Germans are prowling here and there, the snipers are shuffling out of windows, machine guns shoot through the streets, and gay Brits go all the way across the street by the kinship of the British soul.

However I'm not going to lie . carelessness: from somewhere swooped fascist bullets, all laydown and only Tommy (Finn Whitehead) escaped because he shot through the wooden gate towards the automatic queue, then threw to hell with a gun (and on the hell, it is on war if you think about it?) and rushed to the beach. We won't see him with the gun again.

On the beach smelled of mass in the army snoots, which are cut neatly lined up in two -- like for Evacuation. Well, you know, war is the same. artillery is dubbed, aviation fumbles out machine guns and continuously bombing, the Germans coming, -- so well, lined up two people in a row and stand, wait for evacuation all ten days.

And Why is that? Because the officers are there. There's no Brit. Some soldiers. On the pier, however, there were two admirals and Commander Bolton (Kenneth Branagh), but they don't command, they do.

I think all the officers have been busy getting to the perfectly smooth beach to decompose some drawers in perfectly perfect stacks - Well, to have a picture. And then because of such a terrific makeover all the officers went somewhere - from the senses-with.

65 thousands of cars the Allies have scattered somewhere On the corners - on the beach they are not. Also on the beach there is no weapon at all except rifles at some soldiers, so the messengers of The Messer meet courageous fall on the sand and only One brave soldier shoots the messer out rifles - ah, Malay!

However I'd be in the shoes of British fighters and German bombers were not particularly afraid Would. That's why they're kind of sterile. Don't that the main character's sand will be sprinkled and four trumpeted in a perfect state without a drop of blood will be put on a beach in a beautiful pose - here's to you, Grandma, and the whole raid.

However a couple of ships with evacuees The Germans managed to break it up. This is of all four ships on which evacuations were carried out. It's good that on the Luftwaffe's side in this nightmarish only two bomber and a couple of Messers, that was released two years after events described. Apparently that's why they so the fig shot.

But on the part of the whole British aviation fleet I'm bravely confronted Tom Hardy accompanied by fellow, who reported to Hardy about the level of combustion in the tank, and then his They did. The comrades were hit, not Hardy. Hardy decided not to return to base (and what do there, If you think about it?), that's why he's bomber, and then when he had The fire is over and Spitfire stopped the engine, Hardy managed to hit another bomber (he's a hero, Of course, definitely!) and then a long time and beautifully planned over the sea, over the beach, above the crowd, which stood on the two awaiting evacuation, and so diligently pre-planned before German troops, where we quite unexpectedly showed as many as three For the first time in the whole film. And happened it only in the final, so that the joys of recognizing the Germans viewer was deprived.

However there's this Tommy and a couple of people in the movie. Soldiers. Who was first driven into the ship's holds and draped the hatch so they there are all immediately rested during torpedo attack (submarines, sternly said Commander, and snoop, and snoop), and snoop), and then after a miraculous rescue, they climbed into the hold of the barge lying on the shore to wait for the tide? And in the barges began to shoot invisible Germans. But so shot, lazily. Shot every five minutes. And then it started. tide, but the Germans still shot every five minutes - already out of the water. Because these Germans are not only invisible but still and iron.

But Nolan wouldn't be Nolan if he hadn't shown the feat of a simple British fisherman, the pilot's father. When the British my father found out he was being requisitioned pleasure boat to sail rescue British soldiers from Dunkirk, The pilot's father said he'd swim himself. Because it's war. And in the war, the British They don't give up their own. And if it's war, it's Be sure to bring your junior teenage son and his teenage friend - Let the scoundrels sniff the gunpowder, or else without it only and know that pudding Eat.

Simple British pilot father will save a lot of people, including Killian Murphy, who as the torpedo almost sunk, so it did not manage to figure out what he should do at all in this movie. And a few more British The soldier will be saved by the pilot's father. And from the raid, Messer will dodge a deft British Maneuver. In general, nails would make out fathers of pilots and endocrinologists.

And we'll also be shown how simple British soldiers still got to London from the Capital of Great Britain. Soldiers will think that they will all start to care in the face, -- en no, ordinary Brits would proud of the feat of British soldiers and amicably tell them, "Good one, guys, good one!"

This is the end of the great saga about the land of Dunkirk, and who watched it -- that's full enough historical truth. For this, quote slogan, "The event that changed the world."

***

I have certainly watched it all with the greatest Bewildered. At first it seemed to me that Nolan mocks the audience. What Dunkirk, what are the horrors of war? Some kind of complete snooped and just complete nonsense.

Then I realized that this is this... As It... Arthouse, here. As far as I'm I've had to deal with something like this. ugly phenomenon cinematic world, arthouse is when the director has never concerned neither the logic of what is happening, nor connection with some historical events, nor at all anything other than his Majesty PICTURES.

And The pictures in this movie are beautiful, yes. A smooth line of soldiers on the beach, a well-used beach grader who didn't get no wrinkles even during the only one in all the evacuation of the raid all German aviation as part of one Aircraft.

Up to a millimeter lined stacks of some chests. Beautiful pictures of aerial battles that have been British aviation led Tom Hardy against the Luftwaffe in four Aircraft. Beautiful explosions pyropatrons attached to Hardy's plane hull.

Beautiful pictures of instantly sinking ships the entire British fleet four grand. Beautiful pictures claustrophobic barcas hold, in which a sneaky German shoots from under the water and from the holes formed Beautifully splashing water fountains. And hers rush to plug their bodies sympathetic young Britons who, of course, the Nazi fascists are immediately caught up in the bullets into those bodies.

So that's normal - it's arthouse, kids. Except that Nolan didn't want to mess with any "adult" rating, because the box office is something that make teenagers. That's why it was filmed. all under the PG-13 rating, and with this rating bullet in the forehead can still be shown (although its from sin also not shown), but smoking in frame is no longer possible, for what an example to the younger generation?

So right here in this movie, no one smokes. The chas-word! Standing on the beach, waiting by the sea Weather. To be more precise, the teams have been you can recover." However, it is necessary to give Nolan credit: for the entire film one of the main characters has attached himself to flask with some alcohol - you have to think, gin, though without a tonic. That is historical justice at least partially complied.

About all sorts of modern double-glazed windows on Dunkirk buildings, mismatch of models planes and loading cranes on the beach from the seventies -- yes on that already I don't care about the high pier. It's all over. film - one solid and never-ending misunderstanding, what does it have to do with small shoals?

Nolan just doing a perfectly standard Hollywood movie about spherical war through the sight of a Hollywood movie camera - he did it. And even the fact that for some reason they didn't spit any love story (which immediately gave the occasion our smallest undemanding viewers talk about "stunning authenticity"), in fact, little about what he says. Because all the vulgar stamps here quite imagine present, especially in the Father's plan The Pilot and the Son of the Father of the Pilot, as well as with this commander who refused evacuate with an already completely empty beach, because, say, "I need still to help the French" - yes, yes, here Bublik and I must have been supposed to tear up, but it only turned out to lose their noses from the senses-with.

Well, and Hardy's partner loved it, which before the emergency landing their plane on the water specifically closed the lantern of the cabin -- and that it was afterward harder to open it and to make the audience Nervous: will be able to break from the inside Or not? Of course, he won't, but two kicks a bang through the water, of course, will make a neat hatch in the lantern, so that the pilot could still get out to the joy of the entire auditorium.

It's very funny to read reviews of viewers who write about that "Nolan showed the horrors of war." Guys, if to consider this slurp snout "horrors war, then it was possible to fight don't stop at all, if it's like that It looks great.

However I'm not going to lie: one horror Nolan's war did show. When combat pilot Hardy, having flown several hours on the Spitfire without fire, solely on the undoubted courage reaches for the location Germans to surrender there, and before this to burn down the plane ("So don't You get to no one!"), - so, after the way the plane got a little burnt out, it is clear that there is no motor There's no plane. And that he's got a propeller. swirled, apparently, just from the resistance air, and Hardy flew exclusively on personal British mentality. That's it. the real horror of war and was, I get you so Tell.

 So I'm mortally disappointed. Some kind of viewers write that, they say, if you expected to get the new Pearl Harbor then break it because it's different. I can agree with that. That's what Pearl Harbor is all about. It was a full fun, but twenty minutes the bombings were filmed really Effectively. And here I did not understand, on that a hundred million have gone. The film is something looks cheap enough, large-scale there are almost no scenes, there are only beautifully staged footage. But, however, I understand that it's so smooth to align chests on the beach and the beach itself is standing Money.

Well and when I read all sorts of promotional stuff about that, say, Nolan before creating the film scoured a hundred thousand two hundred fifty historical documents and evidence -- I think they're viewers they still think they're idiots. Because you can clearly see from the picture that Nolan even I haven't read the article on Wikipedia. Well, it happens, there are five pages.

On the other hand, what to be upset about? For the first time, what, Hollywood from the world war makes a drooling balagan? Far from being The first. Say thank you again, recalled the cat Bagel, that there's no miracle aunt on I didn't run the beach, and they can.

But I just want to remind you that even in Hollywood sometimes do really good movies about war. And there are many of them.

However Nolan preferred the PG-13 rating to The schoolgirls wept. And he's in it. Absolutely right. Even a hundred million, you don't get it, picture collected more than half a billion. Means now it is time to continue in the same spirit. Over there many more military operations in the Second there was a world. There's a place to turn around.

It's a pity because it's only recently Nolan filmed a really cool Movies. And I'm certainly not a stupid Interstellar. I mean.

A few minutes from the beginning of the viewing felt disappointing, but after realized that it is not a claim to the new "Ryan", it remains only to enjoy. I do not understand and do not accept most of the claims to the film. Paphos in the film is the least, no heroism saw, rather fear and despair. Technical flaws to me in general to the light bulb. I didn't need an IMAX or even a big TV screen to get into this state of confusion of the boys crushed to the sea. Excellent, contemplative cinema. Pretty original, in my opinion.

Watched in IMAX. Mentally moved the film to the home TV screen and realized that it will be wrong. You should watch exclusively in IMAX. They wrote that Nolan was making a movie, the full perception of which depends on the size of the screen. For which you need to tear your ass off the couch and go to the movies. Therefore, the reasoning of those who did not watch the film on the big screen, about what a good "Dunkirk" is, I perceive as an old anecdote "There is nothing special in this Caruho. Rabinovich sang to me." Yes, the film is not without flaws. But in IMAX, the immersion effect is stunning. For the sound of Oscar would have given. I really felt myself in the cockpit. And when the turn of the plane's hull went, even shuddered, though, usually all shooting, but the explosions in the movie do not touch me. Here I did not understand Alex's irony about the metallurgist, because the sound was well VERY realistic. I went with my wife. Knowing her character and tastes, thought he would miss the film. And the whole film kept her in suspense. And time passed unnoticed. But, again, all this effect is possible only in the cinema on the big screen and with a good sound. You can't feel all that in the window of the TV screen.

Watched the movies, hoping, though, for a decent story, as filmed by Nolan. But, since with the same story at odds, the degree of affection from "authenticity" went up to cheers. Even Nolan is not free from Western views on the war, so he filmed there. I agree with Alex, only the picture was sane, the flights of planes looked, but the epic action did not pull at all. And there is nothing to say about acting either. And what did I learn about the war on the Western Front if I put my knowledge aside? It's nothing. But to give out the "heroic" takeaway of legs with all its might and inability to fight for an unparalleled feat - it is yes, it is the Westerners can. Their colleagues Germans were reminded and even can even overtake. To see the cinema, of course, was possible, but clearly not to enjoy the history. And no "arthouse" this wretched distortion of reality will not justify ...

Their colleagues Germans were reminded and even can even overtake. Actually in our country is considered a heroic blockade of Leningrad. It is also possible to ask what is heroic in the inability to fight in the first period of the war, to allow to encircle the second largest city of the country and to allow to die of hunger a million of its population. You would think the USSR was not on the verge of collapse after six months of war. The only difference is that the USSR had a place to retreat, and France did not, they have there atlantic Ocean.

Upd. Looked at Youtube scenes with "messers" again. Yes, it is still not "Emile" (Bf-109E), and "Friedrich" (Bf-109F), he began to enter the army in the spring of 1941. It's probably important to some, but I was only able to distinguish the details on the stop frame. For me, it's inconsequential for a movie.

It's too late to join, but still. mismatch of aircraft models Oh, gentlemen, you can only see this to the super-specialists. I don't remember if there are close-ups of German aircraft, but the models are easily recognized: bf-109 (we have more common lycall it Me-109), He-111, Ju-87 ("lapnetnik"). The camouflage "messer" corresponds to 1940. The "backups" of stabilizers and straight wing endings say that we are not exactly a modification of the end of the war. And then... goes all in white and says: NO !!! Horror- horror, yes. And the air battle is not so shown ... Gentlemen, I've been revisiting the Dive Bomber Chronicle recently. There are such blunders... Here are the simplest. On general plans show Pe-2, and motors on large start from Tu-2. "Fokkers" only in the chronicle, the modification is not particularly set, and on a close-up at the end generally show "German ace" in the cockpit yak-18 (post-war Soviet aircraft). Air combat - generally circus: 4 (allegedly) FW-190 (for a moment: on each 4 20 mm cannons) fly a carousel around the "pawn" which has 2 large-caliber machine guns and 2 machine guns rifle caliber. And the "pawn" one of them knocks down... And what - someone's tongue turns to call the film bad?! And if we start to disassemble from the point of view of "the rivets" "Only old men go into battle..." so there will be no stone unturned, there is even worse with it. No, in my opinion, the technique is not shown ideally, but quite worthy. This, of course, does not remove the rest of the claims to the film. In my opinion, it is more like a reconstruction than a feature film with the play of actors and an idea. However, as noted, he conveys (well, I personally have such feelings) that's the same - from above enemies, from below the sea, and you flounder in the middle, desperately trying to survive. Maybe that's what Nolan wanted. I don't know. If he wanted to show that war is not the exploits of the three Musketeers and not "miracles on turns" as shown in Pearl Harbor, then he succeeded. The Germans aren't in the frame? Well, that's probably the way it's supposed to be: an impersonal evil is scarier. I repeat: a sense of longing, threat, doom - all this is pumped skillfully. What, in my opinion, is wrong? And the fact that this has nothing to do with the Dunkirk disaster. One plane. One boat. One deserter... And suddenly - TRISTA THOUSAND SAVED!! As?? Doesn't give Nolan an answer... At the same time, the reconstruction can be extraordinarily bright, talented and multifaceted - watch "Sully in the original", Clint Eastwood's film about the emergency landing of a passenger plane. In general, sadly, with "Dunkirk" came a pshik, and it is very offensive.

And what kind of parachut scan can be at such a low altitude? That's what I'm saying about Hardy. He was too low above ground to jump. As far as I know, there were no catapults at the time, the pilots jumped out themselves. Why the co-pilot decided to drive - perhaps afraid to get tangled up in a parachut on the water, and driving to calm water, as an experienced pilot, saw a more preferred option. And by the way the hatch closed, so that immediately wave cabin water did not flood when colliding with the surface of the sea. Why Hardy took the plane so far - firstly, did not want to drop it on the heads of evacuees, secondly, he had no speed on any maneuvers, it was necessary to land the plane smoothly on the beach at least somewhere. And by the way, there's only ten miles of beach, and the Germans just kept this distance, and during the evacuation they were still approaching, as far as I understood.

And the kaby jumped out, the audience would have lost a highly artistic, tragic episode with drowning with the plane because of a jammed lantern (which, incidentally, is quite possible because of the deformation of the hull at such a "soft" landing).

There's an old French film with Belmondo about the same "Weekend in Cuidkot" events. Tsuidcot is a village a few kilometers from Dunkirk, where the main events unfolded. There is still a huge military cemetery, traces of bullets on the walls of the hospital, and on the beach the remains of English ships and German concrete structures. Interestingly, this summer at one of these structures last summer, someone in British wrote, "Trump is a fool." To the topic, of course, has nothing to do, but looked cool)))

Somehow the review surprised me. It seems that we watched different films. It's fun to paste the "temporary puzzle" from pieces of three storylines and in general. I'll write what I saw (spoilers) About the line of the Air Force: there at the beginning indicates the scale of time - all events in the air occur within an hour, at some point it comes that in space all this revolves on a small area of the Dunkirk raid. On the other hand, the "sleepover" of time in the event - a bunch of events in a matter of minutes is reflected. They measure these moments all the time. And, by the way, the messers at that time were still "wrong," even without armored back. About the line of the army: slender rows on the beach and shown as a symbol of organized evacuation and The British spirit: "defeated but not broken", so Tommy is not allowed into the ranks. This whole line with the "deserter" Tommy is built on the increasing - at first you feel contempt for the soldier who threw a rifle and did not turn to the assembly point, then he gradually restores the reputation - that, in the beginning, it looked like just an attempt to escape at all costs goes into quite a mere act, because the sea becomes much more dangerous than in German captivity, and therefore no longer "any price." The scene on the Dutch bot finally determines - it is better to drown than to get to the Germans. And in the end, as usual - reading with the glistening eyes of Churchill's speech "We'll never surrender!" against the background of scenes of unity of the nation (first on the dunkirk raid, then at home), obviously this is the main message of the film, which gives this pathetic advertising slogan "The event shaped that our world", I believe. About the "sea" line: Yes, the main prototype of the "simple fisherman" was in real reality really cool: rescued people from the Titanic, in the First World Rammed a German submarine, and under Dunkirk rescued 180 people from a sinking ship on a small yacht. Sailors in reality showed themselves to be heroes - personally I was not surprised that Nolan portrayed them as such. Yes, Nolan went down the path of creating "composite" characters, he himself talked about it, they say, wants to show not specific people, and participants "generally." This approach is quite nolan, in my opinion. And the logic of the ending is something like this: 1. Army representatives go home on the train after the evacuation and discuss how they will be punished for cowardice. But, suddenly, they are met with beer and apples, and in the newspaper they read Churchill's speech about the fact that the war is just beginning and these guys are still useful. Further show those who actually saved "these guys" and made certain "sacrifices on the altar of Victory": 2. Ordinary people of Britain, or rather civilian sailors/fishers/yahstmens, etc. in the person of a schoolboy, who got there by accident and died extremely stupid, but still - "hero of Dunkirk." 3. Navy in the person of the piermaster, the "basic" prototype of which, Commander Clowston died after the end of the main evacuation, taking off the boats remaining (although formally could not do so). 4. Air Force - the hero goes into captivity (like it is clear from the moment, as he runs out of fuel - the evacuation is already finished, the ships go home, he did not have time), but in his Dude style (KVSA) - the pilot decides not just to abandon the plane, but to conduct "with honors" - gently plant a "combat friend" and arrange a funeral fire. In short, personally I liked - even twice went (both to IMAX).

Alex, didn't you watch Gibson's Conscience? War drama on real events; about a guy who refused to kill on ideological (or religious, no longer reasoned) beliefs. At the same time, he did not refuse to serve. In general, as far as I can tell, this is a much more interesting and profound picture than Dunkirk (although I'm not going to watch it because it's not my format at all).

That's 5 points, of course. I'm not going to watch it, but I think it's more interesting and deeper... In my opinion, "For reasons..." He can't claim any depth at all. The film is good, no questions asked. Of those, after which you spend hours looking for real materials and interviews. But what's the depth? A pathetic war, shot by a good director, nothing more.

Nolan grew up in England. And he swam on something. It's been a long time since I wanted to make a movie like this, so it's a little bit of a hindrance to personal. And look because of the picture in IMAX of course. The music keeps in suspense, but the couple immediately flew out of my head, did not catch zimmer. By the way. Alex, don't you go to the movies in Spain? Because of the language. Or does he not even want to go to the cinemas? And Interstellar and La La Land are among my favorites. Imho bad it after a month of high-see movies to watch. "Apostates" (class!) alas, I only after years of reviewing appreciated, the memory of the original prevented immediately to appreciate.

The film is certainly full of fuflo. But the historical reference is also interesting...) Almost all the armaments and equipment of the British army were thrown on the beaches near Dunkirk: 7 000. tons of ammunition, 90,000 rifles, 8,000 machine guns, 300 tanks, 2,300 guns, 120,000 vehicles, Practically, it was half of all the heavy weapons and armored vehicles available to the British at that time. But about the captives is quite interesting: When in May 1940 the Kleist a tank group broke through the Ardennes and reached the Channel Coast. The Germans called the throw a "sickle blow." Large forces of the French, Dutch, Belgian armies, as well as British expeditionary forces were cut off, isolated and pressed to the coast. Even without taking into account the Dutch army that surrendered on May 15, more than 1 MILLION 300,000 people were encircled, making the "sickle strike" the largest "pot" in the history of wars in terms of the number of soldiers and officers caught in the "boiler". This included 400,000 French and 650,000 Belgians. Only about 370,000 people, mostly British, were evacuated from Dunkirk, which is now being recalled as the war drama "Dunkirk". As a result, according to official reports, about 800,000 people laid down their weapons, which far exceeds the top estimates of the number of Soviet prisoners near Kiev. It is foolish to assume that the "evacuation" of such a huge number of people covered only 15 thousand. (average division)..)

For the most part, I agree with Alex. The only thing That iremembered was the scene where they got out of the sinking ship that the aircraft hit. There's another of the heroes hatching all outside. The music was still in the theme and pressed very hard. But for the most part, i didn't know what it was? Is that Nolan? I waited until the last (the first half hour) for the plot, which is so famous for Nolan's films. In general, for some reason I thought that there would be something like a loop of time, and the characters will constantly get back to the island and die there. I don't know where I got it from.) And so, from the hall came out with great disappointment. Interstellar, despite his big mistakes, is still very good, and the unification of the visual and the music of Hans Tsimmer is in general 10 out of 10.

I thought the only one didn't get this movie, after a bunch of rave reviews. I thought maybe I'd have to watch iMAX. We just grew up on Soviet films. Where, if bombed, but not two or three "laps" and two or three dozen. Air combat is a tactic, and aerobatics, not flights by a locomotive. And knowing the "father of the pilot" when I have to dodge the mess, I was killed. If everyone knew this, the sky would have been ours long ago)) and the story with the dead boy also did not understand. What's this all about? To enjoy the beauty of the coastal zone not in the best weather? Weird

The film at the beginning is interesting to watch, because there is a kind of pumping type OF WELL HERE FOR THIS WILL BE! Nothing's happening. Therefore, in the second hour it becomes boring and tense, ticking, as the clock music of zimmer begins to irritate with the fact that somehow does not meet what is on the screen. The chip with time seemed superfluous and out of place. She didn't add anything to the film, but only made it difficult to understand what was happening. A beautiful picture with minimalist desert views and only. That's not what you're waiting for Nolan. I liked only the general message of the film that the survivors are also heroes.

The film is powerful, and strangely enough for a "military" movie - quite chamber and personal. Excellent conveys the impact of human catastrophe on an individual - at the same time with a glimmer of hope for salvation. The shortcomings of the film are quite a lot, including those noted in the review (weakly conveyed scale, heroism is shown, but somehow strange). The ending is weak. But thanks to the sound, soundtrack and picture IMAX'a the audience in the hall fully felt in the meat grinder of war even there and when there are no mass battles on the screen. In short, not epic, not "War and Peace" and not "Saving Private Ryan", but not "Stalingrad" and "Weary of the Sun."

There was not even a blender, let alone a meat grinder.

Basically, as far as I can tell, we are talking about historical blunders. Yes, some sins, as the author himself admits, are pulled by the ears, but mostly a lot of words on the case: Yes, and Alex, you have a typo here, unfortunately: However, the Germans fired medium-caliber artillery In addition, I note, with the words about what arthouse agrees completely.
