And jeff, the setting is certainly a character, but it can't be the ONLY character.

I never said it was the only character and neither did you. You said characters were underdeveloped. The setting and themes for this movie allow for under developed characters. To have them, would have destroyed one of The major themes of the film.

With the chaos of being on that beach with over 400,000 men, do you think most of the people you would meet would give you their life story or would you experience a brief run in with RANDOM people whom you survive with and then watch them disappear in the crowd when you get home?

Do you think the pilots would See the "henchmen" as anything else other than just planes attacking?


I don't think Dunkirk was his best work, but this was not one of the downsides. It was very similar to how my grandfather said things were during WWII.
