Topic: Dunkirk(2017) directed and written by Christopher Nolan and starring Fionn Whitehead, Damien Bonnard, Aneurin Barnard, Tom Hardy, and many more.

Dunkirk is best watched with Darkest Hour. While Darkest Hour gives us a glimpse into the political drama of the events leading up to the evacuation, Dunkirk shows us the brutal and grim reality of the sheer hopelessness and despair felt by the soldiers before the evacuation. This movie does not focus on bombastic entertainment and an unrealistic portrayal of war. Instead we see a silent and mournful film showcasing the brutality of war as well as the will of the common man to survive and help each other in desperate times.
