    Take a millennial or your grand kids (older ones only) to the movie, but don't tell them what it is about. Afterward, ask them who was fighting whom, why and what the movie was about.

    Dunkirk is not taught in schools and the folks we are leaving behind to take care of our country don't know about the real history, only what Hollywood spreads as history. I bought the book read 3/4ths and threw it away. Did not see the word Nazi in the book.

    Don't believe the people paid by Hollywood to review movies, go on Amazon and other sites; read what the amatuer reviewers say. Disregard the flashy special effects which are great, but what is the underlying truth. First fake news, then fake history will give our 'left behinds' a false sense of who / what they are.

      Saw the Imax version last night.
      It was ok but I knew the story. If you are looking for a history lesson download the B&W (1958) version from Amazon.

      The new version is essentially three stories :1. The Mole, 2. The Sea and 3. The Air. Each portion has is own overlapping time frame which leads to some confusing scene changes. For example its nighttime and dark out the scene instantly changes and the its full sun.

        My wife got confused with that back and forth, too, jg. But still a great movie to see. Thank goodness for the Spitfires!
