'Dunkirk' Review: Christopher Nolan is at it again with a visual masterpiece!
From the opening scene, my heart beat to the drum of every bomb that hit the floor, just as loud and just as violent, it felt like it was going to burst out of my chest! What a start!
The cinematography is a visual orgie for your eyes to feast on; all the soldiers lined up on the beach, the ship's sailing the seas, and Tom Hardy taking the sky in his Spitfire. As beautiful as all of it is, you cannot escape how tragically violent it all was and Hoyte van Hoytema captures that perfectly. The sound effects and visuals blended together perfectly to form a thrilling experience for the viewer.
The hole score was brilliant, but you don't really expect any less from Christopher Nolan. All the cast were perfectly selected and there were great performances all-round. I was really impressed however, with Harry Styles' debut as an actor, he looked like a natural alongside Fionn Whitehead who was the protagonist of the flick.
Minor petty problem; everytime the film cut from a certain scene to Kenneth Brannagh -- "on the dock of the bay" -- it looked really fake, whereas the rest looked real.
"Christopher Nolan has once again blessed us with another film that succeeds on almost every level, where each character, scene, and costume are firing on all cylinders to make a film worth repeated viewings."
