RE: My Personal Thoughts on "Dunkirk"
What really touches me is the scene where they are all locked in the hold and the ship gets hit and starts sinking fast. Imagine being in there with no light, the water rising fast, and hundreds of swarming bodies and other debris floating around.
You're panicking, you don't know up from down, left or right. You only have the air in your lungs and there is no surface anymore. This is it.
What would be running through your mind in your last precious seconds of life?
Great observation, my bro. And really well explained. That scene was chilling. Except that we never get to see the "real life" versions of these things except in dramatised movie form. Imagine the pure panic and fear these guys must have gone through. I love war movies in general and this one is no exception. :)
I have to say I don't really understand the guys on the beached boat. They just sat there as the tide came in, which takes hours. And the only sniper was some dude they assumed was using the boat as target practice. What in the hell would possess someone to sit in a boat as the tide came in? Think about that one.
