Just saw Nolan's "Dunkirk" during a cloudy morning in Anchorage. It was not too loud where I saw it. Film score was good, embellishing the film. Good looking actors, looking more like people of the 40s (thin).

But on the whole I was underwhelmed. It is hard for me to believe there were so few Spitfires and Heinkels and Stukas present during the original festivities. It is easier to believe that there are so few now. It is acceptable to show how little is known of the general situation by those in the middle of it, it is less acceptable to leave the audience just as ignorant.

Spoiler alert:
A lot of time spent in the belly of a beached boat that is getting shot up as the tide comes in and starts filling up with salt water. It is scary boring.
Too much time spent in an out of fuel Spitfire gliding gliding gliding, shooting down an enemy, gliding, gliding, gliding, cranking the gear down, gliding, gliding, gliding, normal landing on a sandy beach.

Briefly: Too much English understatement for me. Something I normally admire in the islanders.
