Imstarting this thread because I dont want to take anything fromthe other.
Anyway,I saw it with Susan yesterday and we all liked it very much. It had been said by someone else that continuity was bad--that is not the case. The movie had basically three storylines that eventually came together. These three stories took place on: 1 hour (the R.A.F. fighter actions) 1 Day (the British soldier trying to escape) 1 week--the Dunbkirk evacuaction as a whole. I only recognized the name of one actor--Kenneth Branaugh SP? who was the officer in Titanic--who shot himself. He played a R,N officer. This movie is NOT a remake of the Sir Mills classic-and is NOT intended to be compared to it in any way,shape or form.
The Mills classic centered on a reduced squad trying tom get back to friendly lines which gives you many scenes showing "Jerries" faces--while the new moovie only shows two "Jerries" at the end.
The only thing the Mills version didnt center on that the new movie did--was the sacrifices shown from the R.A.F. pilots who tried to halp the ships get back to Englkand. The new movie gives insight that wasnt really necessary from the original-while the original didnt need to show certain things.I like this new movie-because you get a sense of teh strugles and sacrifices the R.N.,the R.A.F. (and my term) the R.C.N. made to get to the stranded soldiers and try saving them.
Both of these movies are extremely well made-well acted. I saw it once--and will be going again with a neighbor sometime during the week after work.
Most of ya know imno fan of most new movies--but thius one I am-and will buy the dvd.
Decide for yourself,and if you need more comparing between the tow--ill have to do it Monday-my tablets battery is about dead.
