Why is reddit-logo so invested in that new Nolan movie? I know our boy baby-matt has said the film is supposed to be somewhat of a metaphor for Nolan "making the superhero film popular." But that shit sounds like some big-brained egotistical bullshit because it was always going to be popular no matter what. So is it some sort of modern white man's burden film and a justification for lmayo to use the bomb. I just want to know why people are so invested in a film?

    Dunkirk is a fun experiment in storytelling and cinematography, because the whole gimmick is that there are 3 scales of time along the film around the same moment, and they all tell a cohesive story. Like a WW2 Pulp Fiction, only not as good. The story is whatever, but as with most Nolan films he just uses the story to try whatever weird concept he wants to try. Not a bad watch, imo, but not a great film.
