      Ice City Tour, see how the laser IMAX "Dunkirk" frame changes

      The most intuitive feeling of watching a movie is the impact of the picture on the vision. On the visual effects itself is a big selling point of the film, last year is Ang Lee's 120 frames "Billy Lynn", this year is Nolan's new film "Dunkirk". Nolan did not use any new technology this time, but stubbornly chose to shoot with the current largest size 70mm IMAX film in this era when film was about to decline. Because the largest screens on earth today are IMAX specifications, IMAX allows...

      After reading this film review, you must want to brush "Dunkirk" twice

      Today, let's talk about Dunkirk.

      Let me start with the conclusion. I think this movie is a breakthrough experiment by Nolan.

      He not only subverted his own style, but also tried to broaden the new expression space of war films.

      I was pleasantly surprised to see this kind of experimentation.

      Of course, on the other hand, I also agree with what...

      With gradually deeper rationality, maintain some dignity in the face of impermanence

      It is said that before getting married, Lu Lu was a young man with a rich literary and artistic life. He went to see one or two movies almost every week. The entertainment project of watching movies finally made her a teacher. Photography was learned from movies, and As an open student, you are not limited to any kind of movie. Just don't be scary. All legitimate depravity is either having an unhappy childhood or being married. The drag after marriage has caused her to get farther...

      Dunkirk - life is will, home is hope

      This article contains spoilers, so be cautious.
      When I walked out of the cinema, the stage was being built outside, which was noisy but full of vitality.

      I let out a long sigh of relief, the laughter and scolding of the workers were in my ears, but the sound of Tommy's footsteps and heartbeat when he was running with all his strength filled my mind.

      Dunkirk is divided into three lines and three time points, which are simply sea, land and air. These three lines are...

      Forgive me for being a forgetful person, I can't remember the ups and downs of the plot, I can't remember the magnificent pictures, and I can't even remember the words that deeply touched me just after watching it.

      Your insignificance can't hold 400,000 heroic souls

      I know why the comments are polar. Because it's so different from traditional war movies, and it's not the main theme, I never thought that it could be shot like this, and it could also play a narrative trick! Those who empathize with the director should be quite excited and...

      Salute to every general, soldier, ordinary captain and ordinary person who died fighting for "World War II"! When can Chinese anti-Japanese war movies have such an effect? ​​It may be too tragic. To be honest, I don’t really dare to watch some of our own anti-Japanese war...

      The whole film is full of depression and despair, until the last hope. Every second is as nervous as the background sound. After reading it, my eyes are a little wet, and I want to turn the book and look at this...

      The girls next to and in the front row covered their ears the whole time, shrugged their shoulders and shrank their necks, as if listening to a cannonball battle. It shows how gripping the film is. It can be said to be a great...

    Creative background

    As a British director, Christopher Nolan grew up listening to the story of Dunkirk, and the story of Dunkirk has already penetrated into him. During the filming of his debut film "Tracking", Christopher Nolan and his wife Emma Thomas crossed the strait in a small boat to Dunkirk. Although the war was over long ago, he was still shocked by the ruins of the battlefield at that time, and he had a strong idea to shoot a story about...

    The film uses details rather than heroism to impress the audience. It is a commercial film full of art (American "Entertainment Weekly" review   ) . The scenes of the film are spectacular but not empty. Its outstanding feature lies not only in its ambition and exquisite shooting, but also in the emotional details of the writer and director Christopher Nolan ("Times" (Asian Version) Review   ) . The film did not exaggerate violent and...

    • Tommy: How hard is it to find a dead Englishman on Dunkirk beach? He didn't kill anyone!

    • Mr. Dawson: [On the Shivering Soldier] He's shell-shocked, George. He's not himself. He might never be himself again.

    • Tommy: [last dialogue] We shall go on to the end. We shall fight in France, we shall fight on the seas and oceans, we shall fight with growing confidence and growing strength in the air. We shall defend our island, whatever the cost may be...

      Alex: What?

      Tommy: We shall defend our island, whatever the cost may be. We shall fight on the beaches. We shall fight on the landing grounds. We shall fight in the fields and in the streets. We shall fight in the hills; we shall never surrender. and even if this Island or a large part of it were subjugated and starving, then our Empire beyond the seas, armed and guarded by the British Fleet, would carry on the struggle, until, in God's good time, the New World, with all its power and might, steps forth to the rescue and the liberation of the old.
