Dunkirk Review

Dunkirk was an excellent movie in regards of the technical viewpoints. It had excellent direction, which is expected from someone as innovative as Nolan, it had a brilliant score by Hans Zimmer, a score that has resonated with me even now and ofcourse Hoytema's incredible cinematography. The one thing it did lack was characters, inspite of a talented cast comprising of Mark Rylance, Kenneth Branagh, Tom Hardy and Cillian Murphy. Now they were fantastic in what they did but the movie had no lead person that you could root for, instead you root for the soldiers as a whole and despite the lack of a base character, it still had some incredibly dramatic moments amped up by the score. The lack of exposition only made the movie better as we are hooked into the war as soon as the movie begins and till the end, I was on the edge of my seat. It was a masterpiece in terms of filmmaking and Nolan brought all of his experience as a filmmaker to give us something that is beautiful and thrilling.
