A man stares at a burning shipwreck in Dunkirk
Britain has been part of a lot of wars throughout history, most of which were in the name of expanding the kingdom to all regions of the world, which is not exactly a noble crusade by today's standards. Still, this wasn't always the case, and in the instances of the World Wars, the UK entered more as a response to rising tensions in Europe or direct declarations of war from other countries.
However, this biopic doesn't focus only on the war effort but also on Turing's life as a homosexual man at a time when homosexuality was a criminal offense. So, even though he should have been seen as a national hero, Turing found himself ostracized from society, ending his life as a martyr. The Imitation Game is more of a drama rather than an action flick, but it is every bit as motivational and eye-opening as other war movies out there.
The expertly crafted soundtrack perfectly reflects the urgency and desperation, utilizing a ticking clock sound effect that really helps in showing the vise closing around the stranded troops. Though Dunkirk is a superb movie, it should really only be watched once, especially for those prone to anxiety, as it is so nerve-wracking that it can sometimes be difficult to stomach.
Poignant and surprisingly deep, Barry Lyndon paints an honest picture of Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder and the havoc it can wreak on an individual's mind. The disorder is not something new or fabricated but something present since the inception of war itself, even if it was not yet called by that name. The film was nominated for seven Oscars, four of which it won, and is still fondly remembered as one of the greatest and most visually striking war movies of the decade.
3 'Zulu' Conflict: Anglo-Zulu War Close Zulu takes place in the 19th Century and explores a war that is not commonly explored in cinema: the Anglo-Zulu War. This conflict only lasted for a few months, though public opinion on it has rightfully changed. It is now clear that the British were the aggressors and are now no longer seen as the heroes. Still, the movie itself is very enjoyable and tells a true story that is admittedly impressive.
