I think this movie completes the "Tom Hardy plays some guy in a mask" trilogy with Dark Knight Rises and Fury Road
I found myself enjoying the connection between [sp] The main soldier and the french spy [/sp] more than the relationship that formed between [sp] Harry Styles and the main soldier [/sp] so I was disappointed when [sp] the french soldier died and not the kind of antagonistic Harry Styles[/sp] because I loved the [sp] silent unspoken true bond they had between each other [/sp] unlike [sp]Harry Styles' "You like bread, I like bread, let's be friends" [/sp] kind of relationship.
It was a fuckin phenomenal movie. It really is a subjective war film that isn't designed to make you emotional at specific particularly crafted scenes that are designed to make you feel for stuff, but it's honestly subjective and it's got something for everyone.

[sp]Third, there is no humor whatever. [/sp][/QUOTE]
For this type of film, how the hell is that possibly a negative thing?

This movie made me so incredibly anxious, I loved it. Was on the edge of my seat the entire film.
I especially loved the fact that [sp]they only call them "The Enemy". There is no "Germans", "Germany", or Nazis". Just 'the enemy' and 'them'. And they are barely seen in person save for the very very last moments. That just added to the suspense throughout the entire film[/sp]
Honestly, the dogfights could of been more extravagant if anything. I remember watching Dog Fights on the History Channel (back when it was good). And some of the exploits pilots have performed couldn't be adapted into a movie because it wouldn't be believable ([sp]A glide kill was one of them though[/sp]). But I enjoyed a more tame and grounded war movie for once.
I quite liked the film for it's depiction of the war. No comedy, no stupid romance shit, no real bonding ( why would you bond when your pals will inevitably die very quickly, if not you'll die before they do ). The sound design was absolutely incredible, really hope they pick up an award for it.
Just got to watch this a few days ago
Overall, a great film, I love how the film portrays human nature, and both aspects of humanity of it being self-serving as well as it being selfless
I did find the air combat scenes to be a bit stale and at times questionable but it doesn't detract too much from the movie itself.
The sound design, on the other hand was phenomenal.
Having heard aircraft engines and gunfire in person, I felt the best part of the film was the amazing sound design.
Honestly, this might be the best war movie of all time. Dead serious.
Y'all need to see this.
Best war film I've seen since Saving Private Ryan, an incredible experience. If you were considering seeing it, get out there and see it.

[sp]Spy? I thought he was just a deserter/stowaway? What kind of spy doesn't even speak the language of those he's supposed to spy on?[/sp] :v:
[sp]Speaking of spies, after "Mole: One Week" came up at the beginning I spent the rest of the film thinking that one or both of the guys who buried the body was a spy. Wasn't until I got home that I discovered that the moles were the piers the troops were gathered on... I feel silly[/sp]

I thought [sp]it was referring to obe of the characters with a mole [/sp]
Kinda loved the soundtrack too, especially this track

How big is Cillian Murphy's role?
He's merely supporting, but it's a memorable role

I meant they thought he was.
He wasn't.
I know I might be nitpicking, but I wished [sp]that the planes did alot more than just smoke trails when going down. It feels like you went to a airshow than seeing an actual plane actually getting hit[/sp]
saw this last week with the gf and while this will be unpopular, honestly it was terribly boring and i disliked the film, a lot.
[sp]i hated that they copped the nonlinear narrative style of memento for no reason. it came across as a complete gimmick and made the entire thing feel dysfunctional in a way that wasn't cohesive with what the story was trying to convey. if not for my having seen memento, a vastly superior film, i would have probably been terribly confused until the point that the stories met up.
there was essentially no characterization other than the father on the boat. the shellshocked guy being forced to go back was uninteresting, as was when he killed that kid on accident (a split second scene which was shot fucking terribly). it was so jerky and disjointed that at first my gf wasn't entirely clear on what happened. the entire thing seemed to only exist to shoehorn in a scene where a shellshocked person was lied to out of sympathy, something that could have been handled far better in scenes on the beach.
the soundtrack in particular was the most gimmicky of all, relying solely upon ticking watch sounds and the pitch raising illusion. both were immediately identifiable as cheap ways to heighten suspense. otherwise the soundtrack had literally nothing going on.
the ending was absolute cheese and yet another gimmick, amounting to something out of a trite feelgood spielberg film. the guy leaking fuel and crunching the numbers on his time left ultimately didn't matter at all, since he became a predictable deus ex machina in the end. and of course to pound you over the head with war being shitty, he was ultimately captured. how novel.[/sp]
while it was a realistic depiction of war, it left me absolutely not caring about any of the characters or events that unfolded. the only thing that i actually liked was the depiction of how terrorizing the screaming german planes were, randomly swooping down and giving a pretty visceral sense of the odds of survival. the cinematography was good too i suppose, but with nolan that's no surprise.
tldr go watch memento unless you like war history
