Dunkirk, which some Christopher Nolan fans consider his finest movie, just got added to Netflix.
Published Jun 14th, 2023 5:33PM EDTAhead of the release of Christopher Nolan’s highly anticipatedin theaters a little over a month from now, Netflix has just added one of the director’s older movies that actually serves as the perfect prelude to his new biopic about the father of the atomic bomb.
In short, hundreds of thousands of British soldiers had found themselves practically encircled by Nazis on the French beaches at Dunkirk, the sea at their back. The soldiers were sitting ducks, just wanting to be strafed by Luftwaffe pilots whose Stuka dive bombers screamed across the sky like demons before raining down a shower of bullets.
One of the young men reaches through an open window, picking up a loose cigarette. As soon as he brings it to his lips, the crack of rifle fire breaks the silence. The soldiers make a mad dash toward cover, toward safety, and one by one, they’re cut down. The scene is incredibly tense, as just one of them makes it over a wall. His gun jams. He abandons it in frustration and immediately runs into … a French machine gun nest that starts shooting at him.
It’s the ending of Dunkirk, however, that really takes your breath away. Weaving in Winston Churchill’s defiant June 1940 speech to the, Nolan pairs the sight of a welcome reception for a trainload of rescued soldiers with Hardy’s character stoically facing his German captors.
