Christopher Nolan’s Dunkirk (Post-release)

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.

I wonder if they could have attached some sort of (temporary) motion control markers on the Buchons and made them look like the correct model of 109 in post?

So many gushing reviews. It's difficult not to get hyped for this one. Only negative review, well backhanded in a way was from USA today. It seems to me that in entertainment these days, it is more important for some, to be culturally relevant rather than historically accurate. Bizarre and illogical to me.

Steps off soapbox.

Bonus points for mentioning Kelly's Heroes! Love that film! Such a great cast.

I really expected to return to this thread to see people posting lists of rated PG war movies.
There's got to be dozens of them.

The Longest Day

Well most war movies are PG-13 or less if you go all the way back from the first ones on through the black and white
era into color.

PT-109
Bridges at Toko-Ri

A couple of my favorites.

The modern era brought in the realistic violence and gore. Not sure what might be considered the first to do that.

Solid 8/10. A must see in IMAX. I'm happy this film was more about the event than character centric. I will say, Tom Hardy is outstanding. Rumor has it, he is still drifting in his plane today.

Wow, what an experience! This movie is meant to be seen on the biggest screen and the best sound system available. You'll be as shellshocked as the soldiers in the movie, for sure.

 

[Remote People]

Totally agree. If you're in London, the Science Museum is playing it in 70mm 2D, which I think is what it's designed for... it's a very moving film.

There's the 35mm version at my cinema, did it actually recorded it on 35mm or is it more like an effect that's been added?

 

[kalkamel]

Nolan has said around 75% of the movie was shot using IMAX 70mm cameras while the remaining 25% were recorded on standard 70mm cameras.

So I take that it's an effect

I literally assumed that filmmakers were using 70mm all the time nowadays to be honest x)

 

[CutThumb]

No, unfortunately its a comparative rarity to see it used.Digital projectors and sound tracking in the multiplexes have pretty much killed the need for 70mm, its only still really used in Imax ,because it simply costs so much to shoot with it and there are now such a limited number of places with the capability to show it to effect. But the print quality is so very good, which is why films shot back in the sixties and seventies on it look still look magnificent today.

Seriously, I can't get enough of this amazing soundtrack by Hans Zimmer <3
