Yes of course!

No.

Thanks, I don't get irony.

It's like living your whole life only eating vegetables, so you think that a 10/10 food is a carrot. Then, when you are introduced to a juicy steak, you discover that your standards have been all wrong and that carrots are really a 5/10.

I really think that's what's going to happen when Dunkirk comes out.

In the video review posted a few pages back, the guy makes great points like "You feel the weight of each step", "Little things like crossing a tiny gap makes you incredibly tense", and "People say 'immersive' or 'puts you right in the action' to describe Saving Private Ryan and Hacksaw Ridge, but the Dunkirk prologue is immersive on a whole other level."

Hacksaw Ridge is lucky it came out in 2016 and not 2017. IMO, it would have gotten zero Oscar nominations if people had Dunkirk to compare it to.

And the minimalist, yet impressive effects. The practical effects in the Dunkirk trailer look so good that it ruined other movies for me.

For example, there's a dogfight in the Wonder Woman trailers with Mr. Pine's character, but it looks so obviously CGI, badly framed, and cartoonish in comparison to the one in Dunkirk.

That is actually something that I've been thinking about, I hope the movie itself feels more "dirty" and lived in, if that makes sense. More chaotic.

The prologue is a promising sign, though!

They're probably going to post a few shots like this in a series to build hype.
