I just watched Dunkirk for the first time in over a year. What a cryfest this was⦠Why am I so emotionally unstable? I mean, I donāt think Iāve ever been completely stable/solid, but Iām probably doing really bad right now considering how much I reacted, but I probably donāt notice it because Iām working a ridiculous amount right now which might also be the causeā¦
Anyway, hereās some stuff that I took away this time (probably again, but oh well).
OBVIOUSLY, spoilers ahead
- Using a young actor as our āmainā character (Tommy, Fionn Whitehead) genius move, because from the moment we see him I was (again) struck by how YOUNG he is, which a lot of them where/are. Also, stellar performance.
- Gerogeās āIāll be useful, Sirā.
Excuse me? I just whispered āyes, you wereā and almost cried (a tear or two might have slipped out).
- Underrated hottie!!! The guy managing/ordering around the first boat from the Mole (I canāt find his real name, so if anyone understands who I mean and know who he is, please, LET ME KNOW?!)
* If someone wants to help me out but doesnāt know who I mean, let me know and Iāll put the movie back on a take a picture and upload here so that we can all search form him and appreciate him together.
- When the shivering soldier pushes Geroge, and heās like āholy shit, if I survive this, then I ended this war with injuring/potentially (accidentally) KILLING a kid who was just trying to help me and othersā, like⦠Imagine having to try and live with that even if things would have gone ok.
Ā Ā And then Peter lying to the Shivering Soldier being like āno, heās alrightā and they both KNOW heās lying and also, his fucking friend is dying right next to him and theyāre KIDS!!!
- The Sea is just a fucking cryfest when you know stuff (George, Mr Dawsonās son and Peterās brother who was a pilot and died)
- Collins going āCome on Farrierā, I need someone rooting for me like that, please and thank you.
- Weāve got to mention it again, no matter how I feel about Harry Stylesās character, he did a really good job and I forgot he was a pop star/famous before this (mind you, I was never a directioner, so if I had been, I might have felt differently). Would have loved if the gave him a thicker accent tho (if Iāve understood this highlander group-thing right).
- Tommy going āTake me homeā. Would have loved if he just whispered it instead, in a like āIām so fucking done and Iāve just been DRAGGED under water and almost died for an unknown number of days and I just want to cry, okay?!ā
- Also, why is Tom Hardy so fucking hot? I just.. I donāt even want to deal with it.
I know when the movie came out I wrote a blog-post about it, and I think I wrote it in english, would anyone be interested in reading that? It was more in dept, and I didnāt just write down things as I saw it (since I saw it at the cinema and was sitting at the edge of my seat throughout).Ā
