While it was difficult to grasp its nonlinear narrative, Christopher Nolan's Dunkirk was an excellent war drama film. Using wonderful scoring by frequent collaborator Hans Zimmer, well-organized editing by Lee Smith, and a great ensemble cast, it truly was a fight to the finish. Discoursed through different perspectives, the film depicts the Dunkirk evacuation in France during World War II. Through all perspectives, it shows that many Allied soldiers will risk it all to survive against German enemies and return home heroes.
The film should be commended for the retelling of how brave young men went on a perilous journey to make it past one of the world's darkest weeks.When we look beyond the small amount of cast members and not too much dialogue, we can see a film that shows true emotion and devotion to achieving victory. What should also be noted is this is the film debut of One Direction's Harry Styles, along with some of Nolan's usual comrades such as Tom Hardy or Cillian Murphy. Smith and Zimmer should be commended for helping Nolan put this film's war story together through music and different combination of fighting and positive scenes, such as when some men survive the battle in the skies or seas. Dunkirk was, once again, a fight to the finish.
