[QUOTE="BrewingFrog, post: 2543356, member: 28"] Mrs. Brewingfrog and I watched 'Dunkirk' last night. I thought it very well done in some ways, woefully awful in others. I think it would be terribly difficult for anyone not reasonably versed in WWII history to understand what was going on and why. Additionally, the climactic scene of the fleet of small craft approaching the French shoreline was completely underwhelming. I mean, Hans Zimmer's score finally resolves into a triumphant blare... And we're looking at about a dozen boats. Oh, well... Tom Hardy the Spitfire pilot was nice, the flying scenes were wonderful, attention to detail exemplary... And then they had him glide for 150 miles, shooting down aircraft as he went. I couldn't help but think, "Well, he turned completely around to shoot down the attacking Stuka, couldn't he have turned around again and avoided capture?" Eh. It is galling when writers/directors strive for authenticity, then totally abandon it for some silly reason. While it was nice in total, I probably won't bother to watch it again. Past the cool Spitfire sequences, the rest was meh. Branagh was fine, Mark Rylance totally wasted, and Tom Hardy wore a mask. (2.5 of 5) [/QUOTE]
