    Default Dunkirk

    Fabulous, fabulous movie. Soundtrack is fantastic.
    I cried throughout. God, war movies are the best. The bravery gets me every time.

    Go see it!!!

    I've heard good things.

    I'll, uh, borrow it on the interwebs.

    About the only time these days that I'll go to theatre is if it's a new X-Men flick. You need a 60' screen to appreciate those.

    Historical films tend to be inaccurate so I am a bit apprehensive.

    Truthify may say hitler didn't screw up at Dunkirk. That's just Jewish propaganda.

    No!!! This is a theater experience movie. The soundtrack alone demands you be in a theater-sized very loud surround sound situation. Trust me!

    The sound/music with the air fights literally made our seats vibrate. (Btw, I've never seen a movie that made these dogfights seem so real. They alone are worth the price of admission).

    We are lucky to have a theater with plush reclining reserved seats with trays. It's literally better than home now.

    Why would you wonder? Just ask me.

    A USA Today review of “Dunkirk” is warning viewers that it lacks women and minorities.

    Imagine that, no "people of color" on the beaches of Dunkirk and no "powerful feminists" during 26 May to 4 June 1940.

    I'm with NighTrain, looking forward to borrowing this

    When Hollywood bothers to do a movie with an important and quality theme like this, we should support them with our dollars. There's tons of crap out there you can " borrow". Don't want to preach, but I feel strongly about WWII and Vietnam Nam in particular, and I want the public to remember the sacrifices made. A movie can do that better than almost anything.

    As for women and minorities in the film, good grief.

    FTR, there were two women in the film. Both were nurses. One was seen from a distance, and only one had a speaking part. She had exactly one short line. It was perfect.

    I am hoping gays are clearly represented.

    I "borrow" for later, I don't care how observant one is, you don't see all the nuances the first time thru

    Right now, the Lady and I are planning a date night. She has training to go to in West Palm, and we plan on taking Matilda (the R/V) for a few day's stay. So we WILL be seeing this, hopefully on IMAX

    Do you have Kodi?

    My daughter saw the movie - thought it was beautifully-made.
