The confirmation of a WWII movie doesn't fill me with excitement like the previous announcements, since there's plenty of WWII movies already and because of his past filmography and the release date I was expecting high-concept... But who am I kidding. It's Nolan. He's got my ticket.

How do you know Dunkirk isn't just a small part of something larger?

Sort of. I remember about the place from the history class.

Btw, the retreat in Atonement? It's Dunkirk :D (so If you've seen that movie you should've known something)
Shamelessly I repost my post. Joe Wright briefly tackled that moment in history.


Btw, Nolan keeps it with one movie title. Except the TDK trilogy, all his other movies have an one word title. LE: ok, maybe there is The Prestige, but we can get rid of that "the" ;)

Doesn't necessarily mean that's ALL it's about. None of us know at this point. I'm excited no matter what it is about.

Indeed.

There is still of course plenty of time for a twist in the concept to make itself clear to us-- Nolan don't make no generic movies, after all-- but so far, that's where I'm at.

Excited for a new Nolan movie.

I edited it after I wrote it :P Let's pretend the "the" doesn't exist.
