That Spitfire landing on the beach is probably one of the most beautiful things I've seen in cinema.
I was watching the movie in a plane, and a coincidence happened. The plane just landed when the Spitfire landing scene started... It's like the plane knew the movie was about to end
That's super correct!
Got the wheels fully cranked just at the last split second.
Shane Canning Not at all, only having an emotional reaction while listening to this track..
@@shane-irish what is the point in saying something like that?
My grandfather spent 18 hours standing in the waters of dunkirk with his kit bag above his head before he made it off the beaches . Fought in north Africa Sicily, Italy killed in 44 at Arnhem. Never forget . RIP sergeant Robert Thompson you will always be remembered.
@philsos shep: your grandfather was (and still is) a real hero. I am born in 1985 but I am still greatful for what our ancestors did for us, they created a free world for us to live in.
Amen. Peace Be Upon Him 🙏
/salutes your grandfather/
My uncle the same, but sadly died in Africa. He's buried in Tunisia, he was 20 years old. My grandfather and other brother survived luckily, though he told us the horror stories as kids. He joined at 16 and his first job getting past the benches in France was to move all the dead bodies blocking the roads. Only a kid.
He's a hero, thanks for telling his story for him.
I was an extra on this film, spent a week filming in Dorset. I only appeared briefly in the final cut.
Alot of people didn't think it was all that. But my grandfather did. He said its an accomplishment and others might not care but I do.
He passed away of aggressive brain tumour. Last year. And it turns out that the sample of Nimrod had a meaning to him.
Made my connection to him and the film. All that more special.
Grateful for his service, coming from an American who loved this movie.
@@timmaloney9976 thank you x
@Vidal Zavala thank you x
I thank your grand father for his service its men like our grand parents that made this country great
Salute
"I'm staying for the French" *salute*
So many tears at this point!
roede101 we have to give thanks to the French soldiers and citizens. Thank you for helping our boys 🇫🇷
Kevin Pierce we Americans applaud you guys too
@@Himmyneutron693 Thank you USA. Best regards from the UK.🇬🇧
@@kevinpierce3458 The French are looked down upon by many, but we cannot forget the French sacrifice. I salute all Frenchman who served 🇫🇷🇫🇷🇬🇧🇺🇸
This isn’t music-it’s an emotion.
Music is emotion in audio form💕
It is music- by Edward Elgar.
...
No, its definitely music.
Tis true. I had this played in my head when the giant submarine Alicorn sinks below the waves taking the maniacal Captain Matias Torres down with it.
"Local boy, just 17, hero at Dunkirk"
1. Lie down
2. Try not to cry
3. Cry a lot
His wish to be something...for his father....granted.
see the trailer of the killing of a sacred deer :p
Nolan's most profound moment.
pecsenka49 I cried a LOT during this scene! For a girl of 14 years (and no i didn't watch the movie just because of harry styles😂) this was an amazing experience! The movie really got me and made me think a lot! Absolutely brilliant music!!!🔥
Johanna Mendes A 14 year old girl didn’t watch Dunkirk because of harry styles? I’m impressed. My faith in generation z is slightly higher
>tom hardy opening his cockpit to hear the cheer
>gliding in the air with no fuel
>staring at his burning plane knowing he can never go back home and just there waiting for the germans.
>churchill speech
i cri everytime
just look into his eyes, when you know you will never go back home.
4 years and a few months as a British POW working in the Labor Camps of the Third Reich.
jv pure Im lost why you guys are saying he will never go back home...
Why? Because the Naziz rareoy took prisoners. And when they did they were usually just waiting for a good time to execute you
What are you basing that on? The German's weren't the Japanese. They took thousands of prisoners. We often exchanged the Germans taken as POW's for ours over there.
my dad usually doesn't like modern war films, too violent, too cheesy, etc. i saw it in IMAX with him a few days ago, and in the scene where the engine went silent and all you could hear were the cheers from the beach, with Tom Hardy descending down into the inevitable... i turned to him and saw him crying. this is one of the most incredible works in cinema history.
You just made me burst into tears. Your Dad is a good man. I wish I could watch this film with my Dad ...
spicydoggo Awww!!!!... That is nice to hear! 👍☺️
spicydoggo I'm sorry but how can a movie about the most violent thing be to violent?
Chicken Wong tong He just doesn’t like movies that focus on excessive violence like many post-golden age war movies do. What’s wrong with that?
I saw the film with my family and we were all tearing up at the end.
The point to be noted is a Brit(Nolan) and a German(Zimmer) collaboration yielded this true masterpiece
saran drk so true
Well Hans Zimmer wrote most of the score, but this specific one was composed by Benjamin Wallfisch
@Anton chugah Licker he has both british and american citizenship
@@cometeertherocketeer3848 well it was composed by Edward Elgar, Wallfisch did the variation
@@acevaptsarov8410 there other one by nolan and hans in this movie
I cried when Christian Bale was alive in the climax of The Dark Knight Rises, I cried when leonardo saw his children at last in Inception, I cried when McConaughey met his old daughter in Interstellar, and i cried again in the beautiful climax of Dunkirk.. Nolan and Zimmer are the gods of cinema and music..
Mohit Shah and endings, it seems
Don't forgot The Prestige's great ending.
Lee McQueen that ending gave a different effect than tears though
You said it
you're a fucking pussy then
Tom Hardy was such a badass in this movie. That last scene is so gorgeous and made me feel so patriotic for Britain even tho I'm mexican. Beautiful movie and music
It made me feel patriotic for civilization in general. For the free world, despite me being peruvian (a country which barely participated in WWII at all)
@@kherossilverlight8400 You did your bit.

We shall fight in France, we shall fight on the seas and oceans, we shall fight with growing confidence and growing strength in the air, we shall defend our island, whatever the cost may be. We shall fight on the beaches, we shall fight on the landing grounds, we shall fight in the fields and in the streets, we shall fight in the hills; we shall never surrender.
I love that speech and hearing Tommy read it to Alex was one of the best ways to end off such an amazing movie.
;_;7
By "we" he really meant "you".
@@chriswatkin5476 Churchill had already fought bravely in Africa, France, and Belgium. At least in France and Belgium, he'd done his bit. If it had come to the last extremity, he likely would have picked up a rifle again. Read something.
@@andrewcrowder4958 there were planes waiting to take the British government to Canada sorry if you don't like the truth.
"All we did was survive..."
"That's enough."

"That's Enough"
That shot of the landed plane on the beach, under the night sky while burning asunder, is probably one of the most beautiful things I've seen in a *long* time...
Watch Terrence Malick's movies. They're full of shots like this.
Thanks for the recomendation, The Tree of Life looks quite interesting.
James Atkins Check out The Thin Red Line as well, it's a masterpiece.
I have to disagree actually. Malick's movies are full of shots like these but with pretentions voice overs from the characters that are supposed to be very meaningful and deep and end up meaning anything. The aforementioned shot is full of purpose. Nolan keeps delivering beautiful experiences, Malick keeps delivering the same belony over&over, it worked once or twice now it feels tired and empty. Sorry.
The newer Malick movies, maybe. But his "older" stuff is great.
The final 20 seconds of the film with this music was so incredible. The second to last shot was one of the most beautiful shots I've ever seen in a film.
Dov Urie-Lanman sppilers be warned.......
u mean the shot of tom hardy lookin at his burning aircraft?
Dov Urie-Lanman it's so sad yet so uplifting and I still can't believe how good it was!!!!
Ali Alushka yep
Tom was my favorite one in the movie, so fucking amazing.
The shot of Tom Hardy and his burning plane was amazing.
Is it really possible to ever hear Elgar's Nimrod again without visualising Tom Hardy in that Spitfire flying over that beach? A lasting and iconic scene from an astounding piece of cinema that will rightly take it's place as one of the finest movies in cinematic history. Well done Mr Nolan.
Nolan on Nimrod:
"Elgar's monumental theme, a theme as beloved to the English as Dunkirk itself, often played at ceremonial occasions and funerals. It's a theme which (I never admitted to Hans) I am incapable of hearing without feeling the surprising weight of my father's coffin on my shoulder."
This movie was an EXPERIENCE
Unidrw I agree, the first time you watch it is an experience of a lifetime. After the theater you just can't do it justice.
I saw it in a normal theater first, and saw it in IMAX again, later. and it was 3x more immersive and emotional.
i saw it at bfi imax and to be honest i found the switching between imax and 70mm distracting, i really didnt like the imax, it was my first time seeing that format and it almost felt like portrait mode on a phone, i would have much prefered to see the whole movie in wide 70mm film.
The IMAX was wonderful as usual with Nolan. This music blaring full blast, shaking the room with beautiful scenes of the Spitfire with dialogue of Chyrchills speech. If you didn't cry you have no soul.
What are you saying Robin ? Do you even know what IMAX or 70mm film is ?
Nolan will draw my body to the cinema.....where Zimmer will touch my soul.
as will Wallfisch :)
roquefortaddict Candy will draw my body to the van where the creepy old man will touch it .
Except in Tenet goshdanggit.
Beautifully put.
@@drewsmith4452 dont lose hope.
I heard people cry at this moment, and I teared up myself. At 32 years of age I've never felt patriotism like I felt at that moment in my life before. "...we shall fight on the beaches, we shall fight on the landing grounds, we shall fight in the fields and in the streets, we shall fight in the hills, we shall never surrender..."
Alexander Cummins I felt the greatest surge of patriotism and I'm a Yank 😂
me too!
Alexander Cummins he can go home if they let him live and take as a prisoner but still very emotional
I am not English ....I am even arabic and I felt patrotism ...like any English person and I CRIED SO hard ..no filmmaker literally can make something like this
as someone who served - i thank you
The airplane gliding across the beach was so beautiful with this music.
and it looked so pretty as well.
I've been a fan of the Spitfire for a long time. Its lines are just stunning - and that scene was just incredible.
me too, its the best scene of a spitfire ive ever seen.
ruclips.net/video/_u4Md_aXVJE/видео.html
ruclips.net/video/_u4Md_aXVJE/видео.html
I saw "Dunkirk" today in Imax - a stunner
Hans Zimmer sneaks Elgar in and coshes you with it.
You recognise the first few notes and think - no, it isn't - and then you think "It bloody well is".
The final use of Nimrod in the closing scenes is extraordinary and you'd have to be made of stone for it not to bring great tears to your eyes.
Brilliant!
I agree , the sentiment hit me as well. By Zimmer should have admitted it was Elgar and given the old boy credit, instead of just calling it Variations by Zimmer
Elgar is credited on the official soundtrack.
Couldn't have put it better myself!
Actually, he pays Elgar credit, just in a subtle manner. He calls it "Variation 15". Elgar's original Enigma had 14 variations.
That's why the ending scene for this film is so memorable for me, will always live in my heart forever
We shall defend our island, whatever the cost may be. We shall fight on the beaches.
We shall fight on the landing grounds. We shall fight in the fields and in the streets.
We shall fight in the hills; we shall never surrender.
"RAF...? No...not me.....my brother....he died 3 weeks into the war." When it pans back to his proud dad caring for the soldiers... serious lump in my throat. Epic....epic film.
That moment is when I cried 😭😭
My goosebumps have goosebumps.
I've got ChurCHILLS down my spine
ecks dee
Aye
There were no Neville Chamberlains at Dunkirk.
Gooseception
the main reason why nolan cast tom hardy, the look from his eyes at the end was really heartbreaking.
POW for the next 4 and a half years.
Really was a genius casting choice. Hardy is just easy to identify with as a professional who we know is gonna get the job done.
Him struggling deciding should he fly back home to refuel or take out the He111
I'm just glad Tom Hardy didn't fly his spitfire like Ben Affleck in Pearl Harbour, ie throwing the stick around like he's wrestling with a spitting cobra....the worst pilot acting, EVER!
The Real Spitfire Ace of whom made that landing at the end wasn't captured by the Germans. He gashed his eyebrow upon landing wheels up. Jumped from his burning Spit and was aided by a woman from a nearby Cafe, who tended to his eyebrow. Afterwards the Pilot made his way to the mole and made it back to across the drink, in time for the Battle Of Britain. His name... Wing Commander Alan Deere. of New Zealand.
Manually pumping the landing gear down.
Will it go down, and lock?
That was another moment which had me on edge.
I felt like cheering when the Spitfire touched down.
A job well done, but only the pilot knew.
to be fair, i loved the movie but kinda cringed at that, as it was clearly ripped from memphis belle.
I was on edge too, torn between two "tropes". Was Nolan going to tear our hearts out watching this character, who we've spent the movie cheering without even seeing his face, end up in a fireball on the beach? Or do we get the "earning his survival" trope, where after a character saves countless lives, the writers save the character? As it turns out, a little bit of both; we get a burning plane, but the pilot's watching the bonfire too. The pilot's alive, but his fate as a POW in German hands is uncertain (but probably not good).
the way Nolan left his fate tenuously unknown was the perfect choice of the three options you gave.
Spoilers
I saw this today. I honestly believe this is Nolan's best film. This movie moved me in such an incredible way. I mean here I believe we see the finest example of courage to be shown on film. With Tom Harddy's character without hesitation turning back around and taking down that final German, that's when I couldn't hold back. I had literally lost my breathe for a moment then tears just streamed out of my eyes. Hearing the cheering from the saved soldiers was an amazing touch. I just wish we could have known what he had going on in his head as he glided all the way down onto the sand. The burning plane, one final look into his eyes before the Germans got there. That was what made the movie. Truly stoic and beautiful and awe inspiring. This is a kind of film that has truly moved me in a way in that I what to better myself, to do right immediately when right is to be done. I've never preordered a DVD, but this I will get on blue ray and show it in my classes when I'm a teacher.
William Gentry i hope well for you and your students enjoying this film
Definitely the most smooth and beautiful war film I've ever see.
William Gentry we need millions of teachers like you. Millions upon millions. Only then the ideals behind WW2 can be overcome.
I'm just happy to be alive while Nolan's work comes out. These films are gems especially with the brilliant Hans Zimmer. This movie contains so much more depth and meaning than mainstream Hollywood productions. Go see it!
MMG 006 What's your problem?
MMG 006 oh dear !!!!!! Troll......you really have no idea
thought the same thing after I saw it. what a time to be alive
Hear hear!
And Benjamin Wallfisch, who wrote this track 😉
My Dad was there and he never talked about...and he never told us how he got out. Dunkirk is a mystery in our family....if he didn't get out - then I would not be here....I watched the film in a state of wonderment...so much I don't know...and I guess I never will; I have to accept what my life is and know he gave me this after being there....Sydney George Radford, you gave me life!!
I always was one of those people who couldn't understand how one can cry watching movie. The Notebook, Fault in Our Stars, Marley and Me and other tearjerkers were watched by me with pokerface but this... Dunkirk made me emotional mess and this last scene with wonderful music, Churchill's words and shot of burning plane - I just lost it in the cinema and I wasn't alone. I truly felt like it was a bitter victory.
It was a very bitter victory. Britain never recovered in truth. The war effort, the necessity of exhausting every available resource, crippled the country for decades and a great deal of human and financial capital was lost forever. Britain may have made a fortune through colonialism, but it lost the fortune fighting for the survival of the free world.
TfIOS was so pretentious. I cried at Fury and Interstellar more lol
@@vijayalakshmiherle493 it was not a great movie by any stretch. overhyped and the hype, believed.
Who TF talks like that. The book was better
Don't know about the others, but fucking Marley and Me is SHIT. Don't get me wrong, I hate it when bad things happen to dogs or cats, but in that movie it's done so trivially, in such a cliched and unintelligent way, it makes you feel insulted rather than moved. It's like, here's a dog! He's dying! Ooh, sad! You cry now!
You want a real tear jerker with dogs? Try Eight Below. Human cast is under par, but those pooches deserve a god damn Emmy.
The scene of Tom Hardy landing his Spitfire on the beach in the sunset was one of the most beautiful cinema experiences I had ever endured, gave me the chills. Dunkirk was without doubt the best film I have ever seen in the cinema.
Absolutely, up there with Darkest Hour. Darkest Hour is the only film that has ever transported from my seat in the cinema to the setting of the film. For a time I actually felt the impending doom of the Nazi hordes waiting across the channel to invade.
@@biblicalbroadcasting2639 the scene made me cry and the music is so amazing
as a Aviation enthusiast, I can say just how much I love the ending of this movie.
The grace of the gliding Spitfire, along with this soundtrack. My god it was incredible.
Two of the Spitfires used in the movie actually fought over Dunkirk in 1940. They also survived the Battle Of Britain. The aircraft that landed on the beach was nearly lost as its tyres sunk into the sand when it stopped rolling. The film crew had to quickly push it out of the ruts as the tide was coming in.
Just curious could the spitfire have glided as long as it did in reality?
@@tomp7401 not sure you noticed, but a late reply to your question showed up recently, below, courtesy Luke Gibson.
Lovely moment, really touched my soul...but seems pinched from Memphis Belle.
2:40 - 3:02 that part really gives me chills with the view of the plane over the shores of dunkirk slowly gliding to earth.
Brendan Cox yes brother me too
Those breathy repeated notes (maybe electric violin?) are beyond beautiful
Anyone know what instrument is used for that part, it’s amazing whatever it is
I LOVE THIS SOUND
@@Procrasti...
I need to know haha@@itmejac6945
My grandmother's uncle skippered a sailing barge to Dunkirk, beached her to act as a jetty to transfer the soldiers on the beach into the boats that would take them out to the larger vessels waiting offshore, lifted her off two tides later and made it back to Ramsgate with about eighty soldiers aboard. He landed them, then sailed her up the Thames to hand her back to her owners. It had been his last voyage before retiring - and what a voyage it was. I thought of him when a cheer went up in the Bristol Odeon cinema as the Little Ships emerged from the mist. Here's to you, Lemon Webb, and all those who defied the Stukas and artillery shells to carry out one of the greatest rescues in history, you were courage personified. And thank you, Christopher Nolan, for bringing them alive again.
Cool story bruh
Benjamin Wallfisch is just so freaking talented.
That last scene of the Spitfire is burnt on my soul forever. Perfection. Pure & Simple.
"Elgar's monumental theme, a theme as beloved to the English as Dunkirk itself, often played at ceremonial occasions and funerals. It's a theme which (I never admitted to Hans) I am incapable of hearing without feeling the surprising weight of my father's coffin on my shoulder." - Christopher Nolan
You can hear Elgar's 'Nimrod' in this song very clearly. It also reminds me a good deal of M83.
Joël Joshua Gabbay This is called variation 15 because it is seen by the composer (or arranger?) as a follow on from the original 14.
They based this song off of nimrod and used its themes and stuff
Thank you, i was searching this song since 2 weeks.
I saw Dunkirk last night and this piece of music from the end, has been haunting me today.
When it played in the background with the Spitfire out of fuel and gliding down to land, it brings a real lump to my throat when I think about it. I imagine metaphors of it representing us as a country stoically fighting on until we’ve gassed out and come to a rest having given everything to protect the free world, which we kind of did.So fitting that it would then reference Churchill saying that we must wait for the power and the might of the New World to come to the rescue of the Old.
Simon Payne kinda. We played a huge part in saving the free world. If it was not for Churchill we would never had a leader who would convince Stalin on the attack in North Africa or a leader who convinced the president of the United to states to give Europe aid in its time of need
Farrier (tom hardy) without any fuel left, passing through the beach, out of the perimeter, watching the disaster from above and getting ready to land, a little worried because of what it's down there but also calm because it was over. No one was in the beach anymore...
After he landed, burned the spitfire and was found by the enemy but he was okay because had the certainty that he always did the best he could...
he's my favorite character so far.
Beautiful ending
Growing up, I lived in England for six years, and one the musical pieces I have always associated with England since that time is "Nimrod" from the Enigma Variations by Elgar. And Mr. Zimmer used this to such great effect in this part of the movie. All the feels, Hans.
cs3473 Most articulate.
A true masterpiece. At 3:57, I was so astounded by the magnificence of the entire film and by the intensity of the goosebumps that I felt, I realised that I had not blinked for an unnatural length of time, I was just taking the beauty of it all in. It is one of those films that just sticks with you and you find yourself thinking about it for days afterwards. Hans Zimmer never disappoints, he truly is a musical genius.
'Never in the field of human conflict, was so much owed by so many, to so few'
It was at this moment Farrier knew he can never go back home
We played this at our beautiful little boy's funeral x
bless you and bless your darling boy
that beautiful final, the closure of this song is just amazing
-Clouds above us crying- it represents the ending well.
'Nimrod' is not a song. There are no words. It is an orchestral piece from Elgar.
Listening to this again during these dark and lonely times. Remembering that we are all in this together.
3:20 onwards is breathtaking, sends a chill down my spine
Coincidence. While reading this comment at 3:13, got goosebumps at 3:18
British and extremely proud of it. We lost a battle a large part of our army nearly all our equipment..and gained a nation who on bended knee before God in our darkest hour found strength and each other.
Never forget one thing. Never forget the french army who fight against german army during "dynamo". You have a lot of heroes in your army, but never forget your french brothers felt in dunkerkque for your rescue. 🇫🇷🇬🇧🇫🇷🇬🇧🇫🇷🇬🇧🇫🇷🇬🇧🇫🇷🇬🇧🇫🇷🇬🇧🇫🇷🇬🇧🇫🇷🇬🇧🇫🇷🇬🇧🇫🇷🇬🇧🇫🇷🇬🇧🇫🇷🇬🇧🇫🇷🇬🇧🇫🇷🇬🇧🇫🇷🇬🇧🇫🇷🇬🇧🇫🇷🇬🇧🇫🇷🇬🇧🇫🇷🇬🇧🇫🇷🇬🇧🇫🇷🇬🇧🇫🇷🇬🇧🇫🇷🇬🇧🇫🇷🇬🇧🇫🇷🇬🇧🇫🇷🇬🇧
I cried a lot during these scenes.I think life is kinda like Dunkirk.The bombing never stops,however we try to reach home,we get stopped.We are all soldiers who are just trying our best to survive.Some survive,some die,ome sacrifice themselves for others.The battle men my age faced at the shores of Dunkirk is truly a reflection of human life and it's hardships.My heart and respect goes out to all those who were at the beaches of dunkirk,the RAF pilots,the french soldiers.The respect i have for them knows no bounds.Hope i live a life that made the sacrifice you guys made worthwhile.
Shayor Hamid beautiful thoughts
Shayor.. I love your mind.. I cried during the movie also.. My father got blown off two destroyers in WWII.. Almost drowned.. Watched men set on fire in the ocean.. He kept it all in and dealt with it yet his PTSD manifested in his dream state.. when sleeping.. Horrible nightmares that lasted until the end of his life. .He survived . He was on of the lucky ones.. Again.. beautiful thoughts and a remembrance for all those that suffered "war".. Home is somewhere for everyone..
Thank you for sharing your father's story miss.Please pay my respects to your father the next time you visit his resting place.
+maggie watts wow thank you for telling us and this was a truly great film and I can't stop thinking about that ending. the entire film was fantastic and that score is breath-taking, but this ending is definitly one of the best endings I've experienced In a movie theather.the speech being read by the main solider it showing the different perspectives of each section of the film. the civilian father and son seeing that boy being honored I'm the newspaper, the pilot landing In beach juat waiting knowing its the end. the soliders ariving back and the people cheering for them and congradulating them. and that score was remarkable. it better get nominated for an oscar at the very least. I sure hope it wins.
Thank you for not forgetting the French soldiers. The uncle of my great-grandfather got killed by a bombing in Dunkirk. My great-grandfather survived and had the WW2 war cross. Both were French soldiers and so am I. So many people dismiss their sacrifice with those surrendering jokes. It's painful.
I'm obsessed with this movie
Understated and full of telling, tense silences. Zimmer's soundtracks are always the unseen star of Nolan's movies.
throw in an elgar theme (Nimrod) and you've got one helluva combination
No, they get plenty of credit.
@@TheWelchProductions
Not enough. Because still seem to think Nolan is a brilliant storyteller without Zimmer. He isn't.
Benjamin Wallfisch wrote this
I cried while listening to this
Whiplash95 Same.man
Same
This track has lots of Vangelis-esque vibes, and I love it.
Beginstheman exactly what I was thinking!!
Maybe because Hans Zimmer and Benjamin Wallfish were producing Blade Runner 2049 score at that time, wich was originaly composed by... Vangelis :)
Indeed. And what a score the original Blade Runner is. :-D!!
This is one of the most beautiful things I’ve heard. The first time I listened to it by itself I teared up. It’s so beautiful.
I definitely want this song to be played during my funeral
“I have finished my battle I fought with the best people I’ve ever known”
did you come up with that quote? :O it´s amazing
Awesome boy :)
Same feeling. Want this as my funeral song
This was a cinema experience I’ll never forget. My dad and I went to see it together. His dad (my grandfather) was at Dunkirk, he managed to swim out to a destroyer and was rescued.
Two moments in this film reduced my dad and I to tears. When the small boats come in after “Home” & this.
Saw Dunkirk in IMAX yesterday and haven't been hit so hard emotionally by a movie ever. The final shots of Tom Hardy gliding in his Spitfire over the beach while this piece plays on the soundtrack are some of the most beautiful cinematic moments I've ever experienced. When Nimrod by Elgar came into the song I was in tears. Zimmer and Nolan are geniuses.
I get emotional listening to this song cause this was the last movie my grandfather got to see before he passed away from alzimers. When the movie was over he looked over at me and said "It's over already?" He didn't want it to end.
God, this film had me in tears.The final scene, together with the music, the Spitfire gliding over all those brave soldiers... God bless them all, their sacrifices allowing us to enjoy the freedoms we take for granted.
This film should serve as a reminder to us all... Of the incredible good we can do when we come together for a common goal.
*Hans Zimmer is one of the greatest composers in the modern era and in the history of music.*
I love it when he works with other composers. He does so well.
He should have asked Elgar first. He's stolen Elgar's Nimrod, from Enigma Variations
He didn't 'steal' it. Elgar is credited on the official soundtrack, they know full well that Nimrod is a large influence. Elgar is also dead, they can't ask him.
Zimmer didn't do this one, it was arranged by Ben Wallfisch
True on both counts Peter. I guess I'm so passionate about Elgar, I see any variation on his Variations as sacrilege . And the fact that so many 'brilliant' Hollywood composers plagiarise and steal. Example John Williams and Korngold. But let's not open that gate
That is Williams stealing from Korngold .
The shot of the burning spitfire is one of the most powerful shots in the movie. Accompanied by this score it made for a perfect scene
the sound design in dunkirk is incredible
3:54 I get goosebumps everytime i hear this part
3:17 always give me goosebumps..
The shot of the burning plane was and Tom Hardy getting captured by Nazi's is literally my favorite scene in any movie this year so far to me. To me it symbolizes that Britain won't go down without a fight, and boy did they show that in the Battle of Britain and especially on the beaches of Normandy. In fact Winston Churchill's quote hints at those battles in the quote at the end of the movie:
“We shall not flag or fail. We shall go on to the end. We shall fight in France, we shall fight on the seas and oceans, we shall fight with growing confidence and growing strength in the air, we shall defend our island, whatever the cost may be, we shall fight on the beaches, we shall fight on the landing grounds, we shall fight in the fields and in the streets, we shall fight in the hills; we shall never surrender.”
Those weren't nazi's that took Tom Hardy away. Just Germen soldiers.
Listening to this brings a lot of nostalgia for me.
My grandmother survived the German Occupation of Greece as a little girl, but she remembered so much of the war - Several of her relatives saw combat against the Axis during the Greco-Italian War and the subsequent Invasion. The events at Dunkirk took place about a month after most of Greece fell to the Axis powers, and there were still occasions were people could get news from the Allied nations. One of the last news broadcasts she was able to hear were lines from Winston Churchill's "We Shall Fight on the Beaches Speech."
When I saw this part of the movie with Hardy landing his plane on the beach to be captured, realizing he had done his part in that fight, with Churchill's famous speech in the background, it made me think of her and what she and her relatives must have felt in what seemed their darkest hour. As she would tell me, the last words they were able to hear from the other side of the continent were a beacon of hope, and they represented the promise of freedom. She said it was fitting for them to hear those lines from Churchill's speech, because in a time of defeat it was what she, the country, and the world needed to hear.
Hearing that same speech in the close of this movie brought me to tears, and I'm not ashamed to admit that. It brought home that these were events that took place in a dark crucible of human history, and that an entire generation of extraordinary human beings were willing to lay down their lives so that people as young as I wouldn't have to live through the horrors that my grandmother saw all those years ago. It made me remember that so many of them never returned to their homes and loved ones. It made me remember that I am fortunate to be alive, fortunate to be free, and fortunate to have a country to be proud of.
May we never forget this generation, even long after the last of them have gone.
3:52 I love this moment. The truth is that Hans Zimmer converts music into images in our memory..
Benjamin Wallfisch, not Hans Zimmer
Not going to lie, but I teared up during this entire scene, especially during the scene when the Spitfire is gliding along the coast. Feels...
I absolutely bloody loved this film for numerous reasons, Nolan seems to approach stories from angles that aren't often used. Some of the most touching moments I found, arrived through some possible metaphors. The scene at the end with Naval Commander Bolton standing on the Mole was haunting, yet tragic. As the boat pulls away his visual appearance seems to regress back to being a stranger, his features fade to a shadowy silhouette. In the bleakness of the fog (fear and loneliness in war) to me, he became a representative for the anonymous masses that would never be known personally to the people they helped to defend. The stern salute a symbol of the bravery and commitment to duty, all the while longing to go home. We don't know whether Farrier or Bolton made it out of the war alive and I think this open ending to their stories was done possibly for a deeper reason. As viewers, we don't get closure on their journey because the memory of those that served should never be concluded, or risk being forgotten. By interpreting it this way, I found it a truly satisfying ending. I found myself thinking about this film a good few days after I saw it. Cracking stuff.
Final 20 seconds of this song were beautiful.
DaEpicPigeon look up Elgar's enigma variation "nimrod". Zimmer has done it well on his orchestration though.
I get goosebumps on my neck every single time.
You may also like the opening prelude to Wagner's Rheingold, it's v similar.
It is nof a song, songs have words. This is an orchestral piece from Elgar, 'Nimrod'.
I just *love* that 12 second crescendo SO MUCH..
So intense and thrilling yet so soothing and relaxing. It's almost like you can meditate to it as well as fight 1000 enemies with it in the background
Can't stop crying
Love how Hans Zimmer subtly placed the notes of Elgar's Nimrod into it, breathtaking music for a breathtaking film.
may have been Zimmers idea, but Ben Wallfisch did it.
WAIT THIS ALL MAKES SENSE NOW
Not very subtle....
dallassax was it outright Elgar's Nimrod? No, so it was subtly done.
WarriorofSparta It is literally Nimrod slowed down to like a quarter speed. I believe it's also in the original key. When I saw it in the theater, I recognized it immediately. Maybe it just because it's one of my favorite pieces.
My grandfather was one of the ones evacuated off the beach. Everything for which this music stands is the reason I am alive today.
I predict when the clip of Tom Hardy landing on the beach becomes available it'll be worth a couple of million views.
It's up right now bruh, well on its way:)
that it is my past friend
"We shall go on to the end, we shall fight in France, we shall fight on the seas and oceans, we shall fight with growing confidence and growing strength in the air, we shall defend our Island, whatever the cost may be, we shall fight on the beaches, we shall fight on the landing grounds, we shall fight in the fields and in the streets, we shall fight in the hills; we shall never surrender, and even if, which I do not for a moment believe, this Island or a large part of it were subjugated and starving, then our Empire beyond the seas, armed and guarded by the British Fleet, would carry on the struggle, until, in God’s good time, the New World, with all its power and might, steps forth to the rescue and the liberation of the old." - Churchill
That part of the speech juxtaposed with Nolan's images and Zimmer's soundtrack exemplifies the power of cinema. Dunkirk is an absolute masterpiece in technical terms, emotional terms, logistical terms and more rarely, soulful terms.
Mr. Tey that's is such an amazing iconic speech from Churchill
This came on radio 3 today when I was driving and I had to pull in to listen to it. Absolutely beautiful
This induces, goosebumps, tears, revelations, reflections and remembrance.
It was like i was looking for this melody my entire life and i finally found it...
Finally a movie that isn't over dramatized, bogged down with special effects, or ignorant of character development. This movie was simple and powerful (just as the soundtrack reflects). I hope this film gets the accolades it deserves, as above all it promotes the power of the human spirit and the impact us humans can have when we work together... And Lord knows we need that today more than ever.
Dunkirk (2017) is the best War and History movie all time!
When I hear this, I feel unstoppable. I feel like the people who fought in this war deserve a nice spot in people’s hearts. My grandpa died in this event even though I never knew him I know what he was fighting for
Dunkirk truly was, Britain's finest hour
It's Zimmer time... He will win his 2nd Oscar.
It's kinda sad it won't happen, because this track is not composed by Zimmer... the same thing happened with Arrival when the Academy disqualified Johann Johannsson for the use of "On the Nature of Daylight"
Gordon Chan No but this is an original track for the film! Arrival was disqualified because that track had been around previously before Johansson's work for the film had begun. As this is an original track made directly for Dunkirk, it will qualify.
Also, this track is exclusively not by Zimmer so surely he will share the Oscar with the men who made this. It's so beautiful
This track is a variation of "Nimrod" by Edward Elgar, I heard, but I could be wrong
nope I heard it too very Elgar - ish
So beautiful and epic on so many levels
Watching the Spitfire final scene made me drop tears, in my 25 years of life i never seen such masterpiece of movies, this movie will be part of my life. Thanks Cristopher Nolan.
Resolve, bravery, serenity, sacrifice, service, triumph.....a beautiful tribute and memory of those who served humanity in that terrible war. My own grandfather was a US Army POW in the great war that preceded this one, and I can see and feel his image before me in this song as well. A beautiful and inspiring thing....hope giving really.
This is the same song that played in the london 2012 olympics when kenneth branagh was reading out a speech from the Tempest. Goosebumps all over again
That last chord tho...!!!
That piece of music by Edward Elgar brings me to tears everytime I hear it, very patriotic song if you are english as I am, so stirring so beautiful and the movie did it justice I think. Nolan is one hell of a good director and soundtrack i bought ive played several times, Tom Hardy and the courageous little spitfire and the pilots that flew them during the war really helped to save us! Wonderful!
Well, this variation on 'Nimrod' finally did it for me! The top lip nearly trembled. Everybody in the British Commonwealth will remember Elgar's music from Remembrance Services. Nimrod was the Hunter, and the Hunter could not get back home. By igniting the Spitfire the Phoenix would rise from the flames. The Phoenix was RAF Fighter Command which had just learnt how to battle in the air against the experienced Luftwaffe and would now fly home ready to save the Motherland. I thought it a wonderful film. I am over 70 and dad was in Bomber Command (Blenheims).
Those strings at 4:36 are a thing of pure beauty
when Tom Hardy finally took off that mask.....
He was but a boy.
It was always *BLINDING*
Ah, yesh!!
This fucking thread of comments made me laugh. Thank you.
It was extremely painful
This score is one of the most powerful conveyors of positive energy, encouragement, and consolation I've ever had the pleasure of hearing.
At this time in isolation sitting alone.....this brings me to tears its hans at his most perfect and I can see that spitfire landing......thank you and hope everyone in comments is ok during this....x
You too :)
@@DRGWRailfan thanks pal hope all is well 😊
@@marcconner3386 It sure is :)
@@DRGWRailfan lockdown in Scotland getting better so hope where u are is too
@@marcconner3386 Yeah it is getting a lot better here too
It’s about time this got a million views...
the world’s a better place because more people listened to this masterpiece.
The moment they see 'Home' sailing towards them in such small and humble abodes, so to speak, and when the music opens up and the cheering starts to rise up, I sobbed in silence, with tears pouring out of me eyes, as if I were a wee little lad! I don't know why it affected me so profoundly (maybe because i'm away from home, at the moment) but that's when I knew and doth realised that this is a treasure of a motion-picture unlike any I have ever seen! I was speechless, truly, just as I was, after having sat through Band of Brothers and Saving Private Ryan for the first time, all those years ago!
Mr. Nolan and Mr. Zimmer; nope, if it were upto me, I would have had it made into reality as Sir Nolan and Sir Zimmer -- they don't just make films, but CREATE them and RECREATE reality more real than anybody I have ever seen and known in all my life thus far, I declare!
This is incredible, only Hans Zimmer can take a classic and change parts of it yet keep the spirit of the original alive
