“Dunkerque” Christopher Nolan: actors for the first time to share their impressions about the film
After the battle of Dunkirk happened in 1940, which lasted several days, British, Belgian and French troops were cut off from the outside world. From the South and South-West, the allied forces were opposed by the German group “a” – it was commanded by Colonel-General Gerd von Rundstedt, and from the East and the South-East path was blocked by the group “B” at the head of which was Colonel General Leeb. The only way of salvation, the trapped soldiers were evacuation – this operation was called Dynamo. The basis for his new movie Christopher Nolan took this amazing and risky history for the salvation of several hundred thousand soldiers, surviving thanks to the resourcefulness of commanders of the army of the allies.

Actor mark Rylance, known for the films “Spy bridge” and “Big friendly giant”, in an interview with Empire spoke in more detail about the new film of Christopher Nolan:Chris is one of the most important and interesting Directors. Every great filmmaker at some point in their life decides to make a film about the war. Chris is so meticulous working on a script that, I think, he has the opportunity to make a very powerful and simple movie that tells the story of the miraculous salvation. I think the picture is supposed to be excellent. While watching most war dramas you have to concentrate, you actually play “guessing game” – who of the characters will die and who will stay alive. “Dunkerque” this will not happen. Boom! And you are immediately immersed in the thick of things”.
Interestingly, this rescue operation is demanded from the allies to maximum concentration. All was complicated by the fact that the Germans were engaged in constant fire on positions of defenders, and produce the constant bombardment. British commanders predicted that the evacuation would be only about 45 thousand people, but in the end from the environment can get out of 338 thousand troops.
