+Syvlan Raine Its in the little details. The men here show different approaches and reaction to immense stress. I think when you look from this perspective it might be emotional.
One of the most impressive and haunting sequences in British cinema. Dario Marianelli's music here breaks your heart as you remember all those who never made it back and all those who did but were so horribly scarred. The sequence was famously filmed on Redcar beach with the locals as extras. This morning at 9 am (23 11 22) the blast furnace at the steel works that can be seen in the background was demolished by controlled explosion and the last vestiges of Redcar's biggest employer was no more. I guess as well as being an Elegy for Dunkirk this is now an Elegy for Redcar...
+Deva Putra Wardiman In Steve McQueen's "Hunger" there's a 15+ minute long take of IRA member Bobby Sands and a priest talking across a table; though it's just dialog it's pretty damn impressive, both Fassbender and the other actor do a great job.
The horses were shot to deny them to the enemy - the Germans - who were about to capture Dunkirk. You can see the soldiers sabotaging the vehicles for the same reason. The horses were viewed the same as any transport.
I wasn’t there but I could imagine this would have been the way Dunkirk looked rather than the calm organised fashion that Nolan had envisioned. This scene is like a Bosch painting of hopelessness.
we watched this scene in history, to get a sense of what it was like. not a dry eye in the classroom, including the heartless bastard that is me. such a brilliantly thought-out scene. :')
+Syvlan Raine well i just meant that i think that this is cinema when it's at its best. i've seen a lot of cinematography by the time i uploaded this (i was about 21) and was doing my first semester in Film Studies. The long take, camera angles, film score, mise en scene were, and still are, perfect to me. the only thing that throws me off is the video quality, but it was 2009:)
Why the fuck is the Ferris wheel still operating? Are the lads taking a ride while they flip a coin to see if they’re going to get thrown in to the sea or rescued?
+Dritan Brati The horses would be useful for the nazis. Everything that could be useful had to be desdroyed or damaged. If you notice, the soldiers were severely damaging the cars too.
+dm0904 Davydum it's not ww1. The book starts in 1935. This scene clearly depicts Dunkirk. Be assured, military trucks and AA guns were not like that back in ww1... just learned that c. nolan making a dunkirk movie. exciting..
This scene has more drama and description of the true Dunkirk evacuation than the entire overrated and downright boring, over-the-top Nolan movie "Dunkirk".
The most amazing thing its because its one single shoot, the camera is always moving! Great techinique!
One of the most powerful, touching and creatives scenes of cinema. There's no way to stop emotions while you watch it.
+Rodrigo Jovel See this is what I dont understand.
The scene is emotionally dry and boring but shot very well.

this is probably the longest single one shot uncut colossal scene in movie history
+Deva Putra Wardiman Check out anything by Emmanuel Lubezki. Gravity, Birdman, Children of Men. This scene is long but by far not the longest.
+Marky Baloogah or the movie "Russian Ark" -

Perfect...with the sun and the clouds...absolutely perfect...

This one scene depicted more about dunkirk than the whole dunkirk movie
It's so beautiful and heartbreaking when the soldiers starts to sing. It always brings tears to my eyes. This is one of my favourite movies...
This scene teaches you everything you need to know about the evacuation of Dunkirk.
The description has it all, 'cinema at it's greatest.'
For me, one of the most powerful moments in modern cinema history
Nola is gonna slay this piece of history and I'm stoked. Can't wait.
My God. This is the most fantastic scene of this fantastic movie. One of the best ever.
breathtaking

I went to the place they shot that a couple of months ago - unrecognisable doesn't even begin to describe it.

such a brilliantly thought-out scene. :')
I wonder How Christopher Nolan is going to top this. The whole movie in one shot ?
+Larry Goulade he might see this and take you up on it:) either way, Nolan hasn't disappointed yet
Thank you! Dunkirk SUCKED! This movie and its depiction of Dunkirk/Brae Dunes was excellent.
Dario Marianelli - Elegy for Dunkirk
I live quite close to Redcar, where this was filmed
Not sure what make this the greatest...

+pitwontstop okay then. Dont really know much about cinema
The greatest generation
Not our finest hour....
They're not in Dunkirk, they're in Redcar
why did they shoot those horses 0__0

Why were they shooting the horses?
+Dritan Brati The horses would be useful for the nazis. Everything that could be useful had to be desdroyed or damaged. If you notice, the soldiers were severely damaging the cars too.
+AN Feuerstahl The scene you saw depicts WW1 from the eyes of the British troops, the Nazis didn't exist yet.
+dm0904 Davydum it's not ww1. The book starts in 1935. This scene clearly depicts Dunkirk. Be assured, military trucks and AA guns were not like that back in ww1...
just learned that c. nolan making a dunkirk movie. exciting..
Oops, sorry !
Atonement itself was not a good film, this scene however is amazing.
The book is amazing tho
I like the book and movie both.
This scene has more drama and description of the true Dunkirk evacuation than the entire overrated and downright boring, over-the-top Nolan movie "Dunkirk".
Too bad this is a romance movie. This must be the only real scene worth watching.
+Nicholas Julian it got a Golden Globe for Best Motion Picture - Drama in 2008. i'd stay it's worth watching dude
what's so good about this? i kept on skipping the bits but it was all boring
