      Bruce Wayne Well, thank you for this feedback! I really wanted to go see this movie since I first saw the trailer, and your comment is one of the many positive comments I noticed. Kenneth Brannagh saying that the movie has something really personal about it makes me wonder how I'll react, since one of my great-grandfathers was there at Dunkirk, among the men who got saved.
      (On a sidenote, it's amusing that they mentioned Agincourt, one of my favourite battles. I'm French, but I really don't care if we lost that one tbh, the King and his lords had it coming with their stupidity, and this battle is an excellent example of what I'd call the British guile.)

      I went to see it last night. With all the 3D mega movies out nowadays, this 2D film was the most intense I've seen all year. Well and truly awesome.
      Not sure if the 8 year olds who were at the cinema enjoyed it as much. Maybe they were disappointed by how little Harry Styles was actually in it.

      Shirley Bertrand There's a lot of times where he legitimately knows the subject matter of what his guests are talking about. If you want to pin it solely on the people he has that do the research then that should be an easy fix for interviewers like Fallon who probably has the worst interviewing skills I've ever seen. Just watch at 5:19

    You can tell Stephen is really excited about this movie, not just because the show needs to promote it but because he cares about what happened and Dunkirk means something to him. Every comment is passionate and earnest, he's constantly leaning it, and he seems to already have knowledge of the history. He's so into it, he's not even cracking jokes!

      The only war movie I have seen that compares is "Saving Private Ryan". Ryan was more of a metaphor of course, but both immersed the viewer in the very real and often flawed, often heroic characters going through experiences that cannot ever be fully understood other than by those who experience war first hand, but probably conveyed as well as possible on film.

Dunkirk was an absolutely fascinating movie. I wish him all the best.

    I am Canadian, we were all inculcated with the history of WWII and I. Because Canadians were in both from the start until the end. Dunkirk spirit was the great weapon that finished the Nazis. The British farmers fed not only the British, but fed the rest of Europe after the war. Never underestimate the power of an island of pissed off civilians.
    My first exposure to Shakespeare was Olivier's film of Hamlet on black and white tv. I couldn't have been more than ten at the time. I was mogadored. Thunderstruck. Shakespeare could never be dead words on a page after that. Shakespeare has ever been a primal scream for me.

    When I was a teenager Kenneth Branagh was an old man I saw on the tv occasionally. I'm now in my late 40s and he looks younger than I do :-) He is great in Dunkirk and the film itself is an absolute masterpiece. When we left the cinema my friends hands were shaking from the sound of the battle :-)

    I watched a video of Kenneth Branaugh talking on a chat show about his film 'Belfast' recently, and noticed that he turned frequently to the audience while responding, as he does throughout this interview. I really like that about him. I have no idea how many people were in the audience for either event, but I liked that he feels those people are important.

    An amazing film, but also an amazing story of courage and sacrifice.
    Believe it or not, one of the little boats that participated in the evacuation was captained by none other than Charles Lightoller, the most senior officer to survive the sinking of the Titanic. His boat, the Sundowner, which was built to carry 21 people, saved 127 servicemen during the evacuation. Oscar winner Mark Rylance played a composite character that was inspired by Lightoller.

      Screw you, read the history and learn by the university of Hollywood which usually gets the fundamental facts wrong. There were also French Colonial troops too that were evacuated out of Dunkirk. The civilian fleet although very brave and proactive were not vital to the evac but the Royal Navy took the brunt in rescuing the troops.

    • @PrograError
      @PrograError 7 лет назад +1

      the BEF is the more important "assets" so it's not surprised that most of the BEF were evacuated. whereas the French troops being rescued are an afterthought.
      no matter this fact doesn't take away the epic scale of the movie.

    I was reared in Belfast not very far from Branagh. Me and my pals often went through his neighbourhood on our way to the public swimming baths and we played and trained with our football team at The Grove football pitches.
    I believe his older brother was in the same year as me in secondary school. In fact his uncle was a science teacher there.

    When he comments on being brought up the Dunkirk Spirit it is true. I was born in 1969 in Britain and thankfully have never had to experience war. But in our childhood it was drummed into us that you never give up. Never lose hope. Always keep fighting or trying whatever happens.

    I saw this movie and I'm taken back to the moment I was watching it; my eyes are tearing up again, my heart beats too fast, and I hate the sound of clocks ticking. There are happy moments, there are proud and relieving moments, but in the end, it doesn't feel like a 'happy' ending. It's heavy, it's profound, and I left the theatres shaking and feeling heavy and upset. It's a film that is really hard to describe emotionally. I want to watch it again but I don't think I could handle the emotional stress.
