Question about Dunkirk
Posted on 1/1/18 at 6:40 pm

When Tom Hardy ran out of fuel why didn’t he just keep circling around and land on the beach inside the perimeter instead of getting captured?

Wondered the same thing. Seemed dumb to me

Because he wanted to inspire his mates?

Farrier was the film's representation of the 40,000 men who didn't make it to Great Britain.

I’m assuming turning around in a dead plane would cause you to drop towards the ground quicker so I don’t think it’s as easy as just circling around a couple times, but I’m just guessing and could be way wrong

This was the only question you had about the British Red Baron in Dunkirk?

Didnt he have to hand crank the landing gear down?

What was wrong with Dunkirk? I thought it was a great movie.

Cause the movie was so boring he wanted to shake things up

My assumption was that there were two many soldiers in the way. I don't think the spaces between the long lines of troops were big enough to land his plane.

It was a pretty good suspense film. Other than that I found it disappointing. The reviews were completely overblown IMO and labeled it one of the best WWII movies ever. Definitely not.
I feel like it really missed the mark of encapsulating what actually transpired at Dunkirk but of course that wasn't Nolan's objective. I wish it was.

lemme guess, you're one of the 'Hacksaw Ridge was a better movie' types?

All of this. Really disappointed overall.

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

Now THAT is more like what I'd expect to see. Burnt-out vehicles, smoke/fire, wounded soldiers, and men eveywhere you look. Not a pristine beach with a few lines of soldiers and one burnt-out anti-aircraft gun. I'll have to check that movie out, I've never heard of it!
