This is the first time for me to kneel down on the protagonist's acting skills just by watching the trailer of a movie. Immediately after the screening, I flew to the cinema, and I couldn't calm down for a long time after watching it. At that moment, the audience's sense of happiness, the sense of identity with the actors and the director, at the end of the film, fit perfectly. Daddy Dog's outstanding performance among the Tinkers was already amazing. He was nominated for an Oscar that year, but he didn't win in the end. I have watched the Tinker many times. Such a character can make the audience feel To the multi-level complex inner heart, such a high-level performance! At the darkest moment, the two most impressive are the part of calling the President of the United States for help and the last speech. The helplessness and dignity are vivid and vivid. In this year's Oscar, he is the best actor in my mind!

    If we can make another film from the perspective of the 4,000 dead in Calais, and add "The King's Speech" + "Dunkirk" + this film to complement each other, it will constitute a complete "British Watching World War II" tetralogy
