Current Events > Dunkirk is a trash tier movie.

(+) Yeah! (+)

Wtf was all the hype about?
---

ouch your edge cut me through the computer screen
---

Sorry you're a pleb.
---

I appreciate how they used the soundtrack, that's about it.
---

A really beautiful looking war film with a humanist voice and some excellent acting. What's not to like?

The pacing is absolutely terrible and the transitions were trash
---

I disagree

Are you serious? The going back and forth between the present and past were absolute trash.

Dunkirk is Nolan trying to make his own Thin Red Line and failing.

Get a large screen, crank up the volume and it's a great experience.

I saw it cinemas. Don't think it would be the same at home. Every gunshot and bomb was ridiculous in the cinema. I just love the sense of scope of the film.

That's not what pacing means. Do better next time.

Which is what surprised me. He's typically a decent director.
---

It was a bit jarring how it changed the screen dimensions seemingly at random, several times
---

Dunkirk and The Thin Red Line have little in common. Dunkirk is a suspense thriller that focuses heavily on time frames and the lack of time altogether, while TTRL is a meandering spiritual contemplation of man that is generally adrift in time.

Thin Red Line is a weird one...

The pretentious poetry really buries some of the film for me..

It definitivt did.
It was like one scene fills the screen, and the next had those black bars on the top and bottom, and then back to full again.
It's very noticeable when watching om a computer monitor, might be less so when in a movie theater

Didn't Nolan do that shit in Dark Knight/Rises as well?

And Interstellar. He'll probably be the first do a whole narrative feature film in IMAX soon. He considers it the ultimate format.

I ain't seen the film yet, but I hope it's nothing like Thin Red Line. That hippy-dippy poetry bullshit.

Dunkirk was an amazing and emotional experience.

It was a smart, well made war movie. The fuck are you talking about?
---

I enjoyed the auditory experience but there's no way I would ever buy the bluray or anything like that. imax/dolby or bust.
It did a good job of getting my heart racing at times but obviously the "story" was non-existent.
---

My only problem with the movie was that I felt it didn't truly capture the scale of the real event. For example the beach seemed too empty.

lol Thin Red Line is a fucking masterpiece. Probably the greatest war film ever. Certainly the greatest american war film.

My biggest complaint is that it is PG 13, and the explosions and violence felt too neutered for a war movie.

you kinda have to have a high eq(entertainment quotient) to appreciate Nolan films

so you should probably stick to transformer flicks and mcu movies tc

The stupid trailers were to damn loud in theaters. Fucking hate that movie because of the trailers alone. I want to be able to hear the movie was going to watch, not have stupid ringing from a dumb trailer that is 5 freaking minutes long.

Listen, you like the pretentious poetry bullshit. I get it. Nick Nolte put the work in. Aiight. Don't gwan' like it's anything other than a good/above average film. It's not a masterpiece, and it certainly isn't rated like a masterpiece on Metacritic.

nobody cares about metacritic Sight and Sound and TSPDT are the two most respected film lists in the world.

Directors and critics vote on them. Terrence Malick is one of the greatest directors ever.

You are using pretentious as a meaningless buzzword

Martin Scorsese ranked it as his second favorite film of the 1990s. On At the Movies, Gene Siskel called it "the greatest contemporary war film I've seen".

Not even close, SPR is more visceral, but it has little to say about war itself.

TRL is the thinking man's SPR.

It's not a meaningless buzzword. Be quiet, little man. It's laced with that hippy-dippy poetry bullshit. You're putting it over the top because you think it's like a super deep philosophical journey and all the rest of it. It's long-winded, bruh. All them pretentious scenes when that dude find out his bird was having an affair... the score... the dopey ass poetry that you like so much.

You like that shit. You do you. You do the dopey stuff.

Could give a fuck what some shitty film list...

Quentin Tarantino would put fucking Hostel over if somebody asked him about it...

It's for dumb dumbs who want to pretend like they are super smart because they're like, "It's so deep. You don't understand. I understand."

Like nah, we don't play that, never.

I haven't seen it (wasn't interested), but Nolan movies are generally way overrated. Only one I really like is Intersteller. Inception is suuuuuuuch an overrated piece of trash.

and how it the thinking man's saving private ryan? what a dumb fucking comment. the two films are nothing alike.
