UPDATE - NO SPOILERS IN HERE. JUST INFO THAT EVERYONE SHOULD KNOW ALREADY PRETTY MUCH, ASIDE FROM OPINIONS. SO READ FREELY :)

DUNKIRK DESERVES ALL THE AWARDS OH MY GOD

I JUST GOT BACK FROM SEEING IT AND HONESTLY ITS ACTUALLY BEEN A COUPLE OF HOURS BUT I AM STILL SO LIKE OVERWHELMED AND SHOOK LIKE EMOTIONALLY

NO MOVIE HAS EVER HAD ME LITERALLY AT THE EDGE OF MY SEAT LIKE THAT, AND I WAS SO EMOTIONALLY INVESTED AND WONDERING WTF WAS GONNA HAPPEN NEXT I LOVED IT

Christopher Nolan. He is phenomenal. the only other movie of his i have seen is Inception, which i remember was fantastic, but this one... the way he put this together was so well done, the geeky videographer in me is so shook at how beautifully he captured this and pieced it together, and wrote the script.

a lot of people, myself included before i had seen it, might feel uncertain about such a script with little dialogue, but that is exactly what made this film what it is, and it is so insanely well done. that aspect was a key in the film. 

it will win awards, i am sure of it.

okay so here's what went down when i went to see it.

it was me, my mom, and my sis, who i made promise me she would let me enjoy it. she makes me feel like shit any time i fangirl, and luckily she finally didn't this time and let me enjoy a moment i have imagined and dreamed of for over a year.

like i was so shakey, it was weird. like i honestly feel so apart of the film since i followed it being made from the beginning, seeing scenes being shot and snippets, being so immersed in updates that i couldn't believe i was seeing it all pieced together, finally. it was surreal.

the theatre was nearly empty, which was a bit nice to be honest. and i was happy that i had decided to see it with my family first, not with people from school. it gave me the proper time to truly focus on what i was witnessing.

it just starts out in the action, it's intense like every second of it, switching point of view from the sea, beach (the mole, as it's called), and air. that was a genius idea by Chris, to give multiple points of views. if you haven't seen it, i advise you to PAY CLOSE ATTENTION TO THE DIALOGUE. being that there is very little of it, it's important! 

i teared up after i first saw harry, like i was so shakey and nervous the whole time. i had my hands over my mouth the entire film, i'm not even joking. mainly just because of how intense it was and because i was mumbling shit like "OH NONONONOOONNJNDOJS" and "HARRY IS SO PRETTY WHATNTHEFUCK" (i said that a lot because literally HOOOOOOO MY GOD HE LOOKS SO DAMN GOOD IN THAT UNIFORM HOLY SHIT YOU GOTTA LOOK FOR THE SCENES WHEN HIS EYES SPARKLE SNSNSJFN) and i was mumbling many profanities from the intensity but also inappropriate stuff directed towards my main man on the screen that i don't really wanna type or share lololol

especially when Harry's character Alex was yelling and being an asshole (he only gets like that because his character is meant to be tough guy but once that scene comes up, you see that he's just as scared as the rest)

but like when he was getting aggressive OOH I WAS HAVING CHILLS 

(granted, every time he spoke i wanted to clap in awe)

and when he said "fuck" TWICE IN SUCH AN ANGRY VOICE LIKE IVE HEARD HIM SAY IT BUT LIKE THAT I WAS HAVING SUCH A WILD TIME I WAS LIVING I WAS SO HAPPY AND I HAVE NEVER SEEN ASSHOLE HARRY IVE ONLY IMAGINED IT WHEN I READ FANFICS SO THE VISUAL OOOOOHHHHH
