Why is "Dunkirk" an excellent war movie?

It is also a big evacuation in the war. Why is it said that "Dunkirk" is an excellent war movie, and "Wolf Warrior" is a rubbish?

Let me briefly review what was played in "Dunkirk".

Two British soldiers met on the beach, one was preparing to poop, and the other was picking the clothes and boots of the deceased. It was so wretched.

Then the next moment, the two of them had a pair of eyes, thought about it, lifted the wounded on the stretcher and left, not to save the wounded, but to get on the boat and return to their hometown as soon as possible.

It was only later discovered that among the two of them, there was also a French soldier who pretended to be deaf and did not speak, and fled the battlefield to the United Kingdom in order to get through the confusion. It was so wretched.

As a result, the two of them miscalculated and did not get on the ship. They happened to hear the admiral telling Churchill that the British and French troops would withdraw together. But in fact, Churchill cared more about the British troops' retreat.

They finally got on the warship, and they were sunk by torpedoes. They finally swam out and saw the lifeboat. The British soldiers on the boat said that you could not get on it. There were too many people and it was so wretched.

The old man drove his own boat to rescue, and he kindly rescued a soldier on board, but the soldier missed and killed the 17-year-old youth on the boat. It was a shameful gratitude to take revenge.

Only one warship was sent to pick up people at a time. There was a warship but the goal was too big for fear of loss, so it was awkward to toss the people's ship to pick up people.

Several soldiers completely gave up waiting in line for the boat, went to find the broken fishing boat, and hid in it, waiting for the rising tide of the sea to drift into the sea, which was so wretched.

As a result, the broken fishing boat was smashed into a sieve, not working together to replenish the boat, but thinking about who to throw it down to reduce its weight, and finally forced the French soldiers to jump off the boat.

So many corpses floated on the water, and some people were crushed to death by the overturned warship. After such a tragic retreat, Churchill took it with him with a beautiful speech, so wretched.

So wretched, so wretched, so wretched, so wretched.

Nolan made a big war movie with such wretched characters. Although there are a few positive characters such as the old man sailing the ship and the air force pilot, it is far from covering the wretchedness of those soldiers.

Why are the soldiers so wretched? Because they have gone through wars and passed through life and death. They have become beasts. Old men and pilots, they all have a certain distance from the war. This is why the old man understands the soldier who is still extremely scared after being rescued.

Why "Dunkirk" is a very good war movie, because it is really wretched, and it portrays every person in the war as wretched. People are very anxious. That's right, the war and the people in it will only be more awkward than in the movie. Because of this, we should have a hatred of war after watching it, not the emotion of wishing to join.

The large evacuation of hundreds of thousands of people, if it were filmed into "Wolf Warrior 8", everyone has a red flag on their arms, machine guns in the front, and missiles in the back, it will not burst the audience, but Nolan is Nolan after all. Will not turn the real history into "The Voice of China". This is the biggest gap between "Dunkirk" and "Wolf Warrior". This is also the biggest confusion Xu Zhiyuan exposed when he talked with Ma Dong. When the British 5 % When we exhausted our efforts to shoot movies to tell the horror of war, the exploration of dreams, the barbarity of the universe, and the complexity of human nature, which are common human topics that transcend races and national boundaries, 5% of us like to be obsessed with pretending to be naive Put a red flag on the arm to swindle the fool's money, easily exchange 5 billion box office back, and then let whoever criticizes emigrate.

Extended Reading

    70mm one brush, IMAX 70mm two brushes. Don't treat it as a war movie, watch it as a suspense movie! The three main lines of one week, one day, and one hour are overlapped, and some simultaneous events are polyphonic. Because the retreat theme is clear, it is not messy, but it spreads the climax evenly, which is always tight, and the structure is very advanced. IMAX70 is very trivial. About 50 places in the whole film are obviously cut back to 70 film, which is very uncomfortable, and the sound effect is so deaf.

    5/10, deliberately removing the dialogue does not mean a quiet narrative. If you want to try a minimalist style but add a lot of soundtracks, the former loses the pile of characters, resulting in a weak plot, and the latter creates a loss of crisis and forms a void. Composition is also a big waste, some handheld photography, shallow depth of field, etc., lose the connection between the characters and the environment, the air battle scenes have too many strange angles, the editing also loses smoothness, and lacks the tension of life and death.

Dunkirk quotes

  • Shivering Soldier: You haven't turned around.

    Mr. Dawson: No, we have a job to do.

    Shivering Soldier: Job? This is a pleasure yacht. You're weekend sailors, not the bloody navy. A man your age?

    Mr. Dawson: Men my age dictate this war. Why should we be allowed to send our children to fight it?

    Shivering Soldier: You should be at home!

    Mr. Dawson: Well, there won't be any home if we allow a slaughter across the Channel.

  • [Bolton and Winnant are having a heated discussion about the evacuation]

    Captain Winnant: They need to send more ships. Every hour, the enemy pushes closer.

    Commander Bolton: They've activated the small vessels pool.

    Captain Winnant: Small vessels?

    Commander Bolton: It's a list of civilian boats for requisition.

    Captain Winnant: Civilian? We need destroyers...!

    Commander Bolton: Small boats can load from the beach.

    Captain Winnant: Not in these conditions!

    Commander Bolton: Well, I'd rather fight waves than dive-bombers.

    Captain Winnant: [Beat] No, you're right. They won't get up in this. The Royal Engineers are building piers from lorries. At least that should help us when the tide comes back.

    Commander Bolton: Well, we'll know in six hour's time.

    Captain Winnant: I thought the tides were every three?

    Commander Bolton: Then it's good that you're army and I'm navy, isn't it.
