glacier_kittyToday I finally got to see the movie I've been dying to see for months: Dunkirk! Ingrid's back in town (yay!), so mom and I saw it with her, even though she had seen it already. OMG WOW. What an intense, amazing movie!!! Christopher Nolan is a seriously amazing director. It amused me that Harry Styles was in the movie haha. I'm glad it didn't disappoint me! I like to read trivia about a movie on IMDb after I watch it, so I'll post some interesting ones here!
According to actor-director Kenneth Branagh, roughly thirty veteran Dunkirk survivors, who were in their mid nineties, attended the premiere in London. When asked about the film, they felt that it accurately captured the event but that the soundtrack was louder than the actual bombardment, a comment that greatly amused director Christopher Nolan.
Omg YES haha, the soundtrack was definitely super loud :P
The movie used over fifty boats on the sea, the most that has ever been put on film.
Wow!
The title "Dunkirk" is divided into three segmented colours: sky blue, dark blue, and orange, referring to the triptych plot of air, sea, and land.
Oh wow, I never noticed that on the poster, but I definitely see it now! Cool! ("triptych" is a cool word :P)
The ticking sounds that serve as a crucial theme on the film's score were recorded by composer Hans Zimmer from one of director Christopher Nolan's own pocket watches. He then put the sounds into synthesizers and altered them in different ways for the soundtrack
Cool! Hans Zimmer had a clock theme in the music from Interstellar too
Charles Lightoller, the senior surviving officer of the RMS Titanic, participated in the Dunkirk evacuation with his private motor yacht the Sundowner. The Sundowner has been preserved by the Ramsgate Maritime Museum in England
Oh wow, I did not know that!! I did think of Titanic a lot when watching this, like when an officer refused to let a couple guys in the water get on his lifeboat
The clock in the soundtrack doesn't stop ticking during the whole movie, until Alex and Tommy are sitting safely on the train
Anddd this is why I love Christopher Nolan and Hans Zimmer..I love their attention to detail!
I also know the movie I am never in a million years going to see: It. I actually had to look away and shield my eyes during the preview. NOPE D: *shudders*
Today's trivia: Plymouth Rock is a glacial erratic (!!!)
