re: Question about Dunkirk

Finally watched this last night for the first time, and while I thought it was a good movie, I think Nolan missed the mark on telling the full story and capturing the epic scale of the real-life event. The real Dunkirk involved thousands of British civilians banding together and putting themselves (and ther boats) at huge personal risk to save over 300,000 trapped soldiers. I feel like the movie totally missed the mark on this, making it look more like a small-scale conflict where a few pilots and ship captains saved the day.

This is a big issue I had with the movie. I liked it, but you're right.
The big 5 minutes single-shot Dunkirk scene from "Atonement" did a better job of this
