Movie Matchmaker: "Dunkirk"


First, a brief synopsis:

Dunkirk is a war drama based on the true story of the of Allied troops trapped on the beaches of Dunkirk and the heroic mission to save them.  In May of 1940, German forces advanced into France, leaving British, French, Belgian and Dutch soldiers cornered on the beaches of Dunkirk. The British and French provided as much air and ground cover as they could but with little other protection, the troops were easily attacked and picked off by enemy air forces. Ultimately, however, the naval vessels, with the help of civilian sailers and boat owners, safely evacuated nearly 330,000 soldiers. 


If you enjoy...

  • Harrowing stories of war, specifically those stemmed from World War II
  • Experiencing intense and poignant situations from soldiers' points of view
  • Sprawling and visceral landscape shots
  • Realistic and piercing soundscapes 
  • Seeing the heroic deeds of ordinary people, that helped to change history

...then perhaps you'll find a match in Dunkirk!
