Anyhoo, wouldn't these pictures finally confirm that Tom Hardy has a decent role in this movie, and doesn't kick the bucket in the first few minutes he shows up? If not then why would the RAF museum dedicate a stand for a character, even if portrayed by a famous actor, who's only there for a little bit? I mean, sure, his role could be short, but very memorable, but still... Why not go for the other pilot, who, I'm pretty darn sure, makes it out alive to the last third of the movie at the very least, or them both maybe?

Pity we can't read what it says on the boards.

Oh yes, most of “Dunkirk” was filmed with lumbering, heavy and noisy Imax devices, which the camera team had worked with on a much more limited basis in earlier Nolan films. Sequences that required discernible dialogue were shot with quieter but still large-format 65 mm equipment.

“Dunkirk sort of defines that thing that British people take great pride in,” adds the London native — “which is all just gritting your teeth and getting on with it and triumphing in a moment of adversity. What’s also, I think, amazing about it is that it’s one of the few stories in history where civilians played a huge part in a military operation and really saved the day.

“For that reason, I think that what’s inspiring and exciting about the story is that it’s actually a very universal story. You don’t have to be British to appreciate it; it’s really about the human spirit. So it’s great to bring a story that’s so well-known in England to a wider audience that don’t necessarily know about the event.”
