 Re: Dunkirk aka #BetterThanStarWars has a trailer coming soo
Why couldn't you wait for the trailer before making the thread? Are you a 12-year-old?

#BetterThanStarWars isn't an accomplishment when the Disney factory is putting out Star Wars films made by committee on an assembly line.

Yeah, pretty much half the films released this year are #BetterThanStarWars.

 Re: NOLAN gives us DUNKIRK
"The event that shaped our world" Ok, sure. They're already reaching for the stars trying to make it relevant to today's audiences, not a good sign.

 Re: NOLAN gives us DUNKIRK
Yup, because stuff like Verdun (in WW1), D-Day, Fat Man and Little Boy, Stalingrad, Pearl Harbor didn't shape our world at all. I'm sure 99 out of 100 people asked on the street will answer Dunkirk if asked what event shaped our world. Marketing at its worst.

 Re: NOLAN gives us DUNKIRK
Well, the poster doesn't say that it is the only event that shaped our world.
That being said, Dunkirk did not shape our world.

 Re: NOLAN gives us DUNKIRK
Well, they certainly are doing their best to fool audiences into thinking of this as a blockbuster rather than a war flick. Glancing at the poster at first, I thought it was science fiction.

 Re: NOLAN gives us DUNKIRK
It looks like a war film poster to me. Guy dressed as a soldier, soldiers in the background, a rather typical World War aesthetic to the whole thing...
Not sure how this "shaped the world" either. Like, it's sort of like the unpopular girl trying her hardest to fit in with the popular clique that includes such actual world-shaping events like the Normandy landing.

Still good, though.

Dr. Lecter wrote: Well, the poster doesn't say that it is the only event that shaped our world. I disagree. They should have used 'an' instead of 'the'. At least they didn't highlight the 'the'. In grammar 'the' as a determiner is defined as: used to refer to a person, place, or thing that is unique.

 Re: NOLAN gives us DUNKIRK
I absolutely loved Interstellar and just knowing that Dunkirk was such as an amazing feat during WW2 and literally kept the UK from probably immediately surrendering I cannot wait to see this. It will surely be epic.

 Re: NOLAN gives us DUNKIRK
idk, when I blow the poster up on my vertical screen the ships look fine... but yeah the planes look weird there.

Not very creative I have to say, but they're all appealing posters.

 Re: NOLAN gives us DUNKIRK
I feel like many do not realize how critical the Dunkirk evac was to the wars success.

 Re: NOLAN gives us DUNKIRK
The poster is great. It's not very creative, sure. But then this is a Nolan film we're talking about. The posters are usually not. The trailer wasn't great. That's a bad sign. And I agree with the rest that Dunkirk did not shape our world. But then, what's the alternative? Should try not to relate it to modern audiences? They HAVE to do something, right?

 Re: NOLAN gives us DUNKIRK
Well that was just a teaser of people standing around looking up, to be fair. Nothing to get excited about.
Poster is just ok.
