A tragedy of shocking proportions occurred when the Nazis invaded France in 1940 and soldiers from Belgium, the British Empire, Canada and France had to retreat. The movie “Dunkirk” gives a real to life portrayal of the events at Dunkirk.
The Hollywood Reporter reports that we have an “impressionist masterpiece” with “Dunkirk”. This movie offers an intense dramatization of the attempt by the British Expeditionary Force to assist French, Belgian and Canadian forces put a stop to the Germans’ shockingly quick sweep through France during the spring of 1940. About 40,000 British soldiers had to retreat to the beaches of Dunkirk, which is in northern France. They were desperate for a way to get across the 26 mile English Channel.
In “Dunkirk” there is a vivid portrayal of the largely different ways in which the soldiers lived through the same event. If the British at Dunkirk were completely destroyed it seems that the United Kingdom may have had to surrender to Hitler. The climax of the film is seeing many of the soldiers carried home to England on boats sent across the English Channel.

It has been reported by The Guardian that this apocalyptic war epic is the best film Christopher Nolan has made. The scenes of the chaotic evacuation of the British Expeditionary Force from northern France after the tragic battle of Dunkirk are intense. A legendary flotilla of small civilian boats helped save many of the British soldiers. Enough British soldiers miraculously survived Dunkirk to help Great Britain and the allies fight back against the Nazis.
