Scene From 'Dunkirk' Anatomy of a Scene

video description

Rating: 4.0; Vote: 1
The director Christopher Nolan narrates a scene from Dunkirk, which was nominated for 3 Golden Globe awards and is now available on digital platforms. acslater017: In one sense its hard to criticize a historical war film - these horrible things happened to real people and its worth telling. But as a film, I found Dunkirk entirely too Nolan-y: jump scares, contrived trolley dilemmas, confusing timelines, droning soundtrack and ticking clocks/heartbeats to ratchet the pressure, flooding boats, mumbled dialogue/intentionally difficult audio mix, many familiar editing beats. It recycled so many Nolan movie tropes, that despite the exciting setups and beautiful production values the package was LESS than the sum of its parts. Im a fan of much of his work, but IMO Dunkirk crosses the line between trademark style and self-indulgence. Or at least, it felt quite out of new ideas.

man I really wish there was a second version of the film on bluray with Nolans commentary on every scene. I could listen to him for hours.
Also Gibson is my favourite. he kept going out of his way to help them; --; I wonder if his character was intended to be a larger metaphor for the sacrifices of the forgotten French?

I got shortness of breathe watching this scene in theaters. I seriously had to catch my breathe when this whole scene was over. He achieved what he wanted to achieve. Great job Mr. Nolan.

I really wish he didn't hate doing commentaries, the ones he did for his first three movies are great. Still, it's nice to get it for one scene of Dunkirk at least

This was the first film out of all of Nolan's masterpieces that garnered him a Best Director nomination, and he didn't even win. The Academy is utterly pathetic.

The whole movie made me very anxious when I watched it. This scene took me back. I love the movie. It is magnificent, but it is also terrifying to me.
reply

one thing Mr. Nolan forgets to say here is that not a lot of these young men could swim, swimming was not a very British pastime back then

I say this is one of the most tense sequences I've seen made in a film. I was literally edge of my seat during most of the film.
reply

I can't believe he made this movie with so little dialouge between the protagonists and actually make a masterpiece out of it.

That scene is terrifying because it makes you imagine you're in the exact same situation and the claustrophobia sets in so quick
