Dunkirk

[BE Mike]

We finally saw the movie. I thought it was a good movie, not great, like "Hacksaw Ridge", but good. It did fall a little short in showing the enormity of the evacuation, but didn't completely fail. I liked the individual perspectives. In war people who are actually involved in the action, just see and live in their little worlds. They don't see the overall picture, so that was effectively portrayed. It also touched on the fact that not everyone in combat is heroic. Some are cowards. Some people are heroic sometimes and weak at other times. There was a little too much "time" warping. As for the pilot sacrificing his aircraft, well that is pretty much left to the pilot-in-command. Everyone and everything in combat is expendable. There are no places for snowflakes.
