Teaser Trailer for Christopher Nolan's Dunkirk

Really looking forward to that...

Looks good...and about time a proper story is told about the British heroism of WWII. I fear that WWII movie fatigue is approaching without the stories of Britain having been told.

I saw this trailer when watching Suicide Squad, it looks really good.

Shit for a lame short teaser trailer that looked pretty awesome.

I suspect this will be very good.

The full trailer is now up.

Looks good.

My father's uncle was at Dunkirk. He said the Army had filled his head with junk about King and Country so he volunteered to guard the perimeter so others could escape. His reward was to be put in a Nazi POW camp for the rest of the war. His mother, my great grandmother, always said it was because he didn't listen to his ma. When he was leaving for France she told him "If any English officers come asking for volunteers, you say NO. " A very Scottish attitude to have.

He didn't listen to his mother.

I think it's safe to say that a log of people fought for King and country, nothing wrong with patriotism when your country is literally on the line, A log Americans and Russians fought for the same reason and become a POW is part of the risk.

IIRC, Jim Bowie diead along with others so that women and children could escape, it's a sacrifice they were willing to make. Needs of the many you know.

You recall incorrectly.

Jim Bowie didn't die at the Alamo? News to me.

During the siege and final assault, Bowie was bedridden with an illness and died when Mexican soldiers bayoneted him. His death had nothing to do with letting women and children "escape".

Santa Anna spared the noncombatants and allowed them to leave so they could spread the word of the Texan defeat.

But wasn't part of the point was to let the children escape because Santa Anna was giving no quarter? And a scout was let out so he could get a letter to Houston? Or am I watching to much tv?

Furthermore, are you really dissing on JimBowie?

You're watching too much bad teevee.

All the children present for the siege and battle survived and were allowed to leave because they were noncombatants. Santa Anna even offered to adopt the daughter of dead Alamo defender, Almaraon Dickinson (her mother refused).

And there were several couriers sent out by Travis during the siege, none of whom were able to return before the garrison fell.

How am I disrespecting him? He was too ill to get out of bed and ended up dying there, probably taking a couple of Mexican soldiers with him using his pistols.

Bowie's my favorite of the Alamo guys, but it doesn't change the fact of how he died.

On the upside British POWs were treated relatively well by the Nazis who saw them as being fellow Germanics. Slavic prisons were treated harshly and all too often systematically starved to death.

Part of that was the British held lots of German POWs of their own, downed pilots, captured sailors, German soldiers captured in North Africa, etc... So even the Nazis couldn't over look the fact that any mistreatment of British POWs might result in reprisal actions against German POWs.

A few details on the film.

New trailer. This film keeps looking better and better.

Those planes look like the real deal.

I'm sure they're CGI or models.

They look good.

Some shots are likely CGI, but they used real planes and some physical models.

Nice.

That looks really good

Yeah.

Anything with Cillian Murphy directed by Chris Nolan I'm basically all in.

Definitely. Also, I think Tom Hardy is in too.
