Christopher Nolan’s Dunkirk (Post-release)

Re: Christopher Nolan’s Dunkirk

Every time I go to see a film in IMAX 3D and I see the trailer for this, I get more and more excited to see it. Can't wait.

I just can't be excited for anything Nolan writes anymore. It's usually convoluted or unsatisfying or both, unless he has a co-writer that isn't his brother.

Judging from the trailer, their Bf 109 isn't correct. The E model had clipped wings, I seem to discern the round wingtips of later models.

You're right.
Maybe they just couldn't find a flyable E, for whatever reason.
Mildly annoying, but it's a small enough detail that it won't detract from my enjoyment of it.
Like the beaded dog-tag chains in Saving Private Ryan. Great movie, but those beads make me seethe with rage :lol

I just checked. They used a Hispano Buchon, a spanish-made licenses Messerschmitt, painted as a 109. Not only are the Buchons late- to post-war planes, but they use RR V-engines. The german 109 used the DB 601 to 605 A-engine (upside-down V , actually)
Thus, the Buchon's top-cowling is completely different, as is the oil-cooler intake. They're truly ugly compared to the elegant 109s.
#sad :(

For comparison: a Buchon and a 109E

Sounds like Nolan is sticking with using real world stuff wherever possible. Using actual flying vintage aircraft is pretty cool even if not quite exact.
 
Re: Christopher Nolan’s Dunkirk

Just saw the new trailer.

Ok. It's starting to become a little more clear. Watching the previous trailers, I thought this was going to be some deep thinking war movie about soldiers on an island who have been abandoned to die and that the world around them is trying to make them accept it, allies and enemies alike. Like I thought Mark Rylance's character was sending Cillian Murphy's character back to Dunkirk to die rather than flee like a coward. I seriously thought that's what was going on!

You could have seen the first trailer and Googled "Dunkirk" to find out what it was about... ;) I've actually been surprised/depressed how many people I know have no idea about the evacuation at Dunkirk. I know I'm a history nerd, but still...

Hopefully, as good films can do, this opens some peoples eyes to what and why it happened, even if it is stylised somewhat etc. :thumbsup
 
Re: Christopher Nolan’s Dunkirk

According to wikipedia there are only 9 airworthy 109s in the world. Six of those are Buchons, two are E models, and one G. I guess in that case the Buchons are better than CGI. Most viewers of the movie wouldn't know the difference between a 109 and a FW 190. :D
