The last shot in the movie was not in the script?
Dunkirk Screenplay
Apparently not.
Nolan did talk about that in some article or interview - about why he chose to end on Tommy's face.
Wait... Nolan talks about it in the chat with his brother in the start of the screenplay book...
On the right page here is Nolan's explanation of why he ended with Fionn's face:

I'm going to play with the Blu-ray when I get it and see which ending I would most prefer. There are three versions I'd like to compare:
1) Theatrical version.
2) Screenplay version.
3) Modified theatrical version (no fade to black before cutting to Fionn's face).
I still think #1 provides the least power, to be honest.
By the way, I'd probably also remove the little "newspaper crumple" audio that he adds on the cut-to-black from Fionn's face.
Can someone please help me out with the screenplay. I've seen the movie twice now, and there have been some political commentators calling Nolan out for not mentioning the "Germans" and instead saying "the enemy" and also minimizing Churchill.
After my 2nd viewing, I remember the character Alex calling the character Gibson:
The thing that stands out to me, is that these political commentators don't seem to care, that thanks to Nolan, more people now know about Dunkirk, "The History of Dunkirk" book has come out as a companion to the movie, along with other historical magazines - why can't they give him credit for that? Nolan is a great director kind of like Hitchcock, who doesn't overstate the politics. Thoughts?
After my 2nd viewing, I remember the character Alex calling the character Gibson:
Yes, they do say "German" a couple of times in that regard. If they just said "enemy spy," that wouldn't work for multiple reasons (especially when it comes down to what language or accent we expect them to speak with).
Otherwise, it is mostly regarding "the enemy," or "the perimeter," or something like that.

What is "spoke text"?
Why don't you first Google something instead of asking after each comment what something means?
I do.
I only post to ask when it's something that can't be answered by Google.
Not to mention, Google doesn't help in this case: https://www.google.com/search?q=spoke+text

A typo. Spoken text. I searched for "German" in the Kindle ebook of the screenplay and looked for the word in spoken text as opposed to Nolan's discussions or scene descriptions.okungnyo wrote:What is "spoke text"?
