A film can be good but a film like Dunkirk has to be accurate which it not.

Of course there were black servicemen during WWII from the colonies, dominions and protectorates. After all, the Brirish officer class still needed people to serve them tiffin and shine their shoes.

No. You're not getting the last word in.

There's actually a joke in there related to the movie. But I think it predates the movie. Or something. Lol.

Papers unearthed by the BBC reveal that British and American commanders ensured that the liberation of Paris on 25 August 1944 was seen as a "whites only" victory.

Sir Paddy Ashdown revealed yesterday how his father was brought before a court martial for refusing to comply with an order to abandon Indian troops under his command during the Dunkirk retreat.
The order had been "idiotic and disgraceful", said Sir Paddy, who was a Royal Marine captain before he was leader of the Liberal Democrats. His father, who ended the war a colonel, was in the Royal Indian Army Service Corps, based in the Punjab. In 1939 he took a platoon of Indian soldiers and their troop of mules as one of four mule trains to join the British Expeditionary Force in France.

During the BEF's 100-mile retreat in June 1940, the order went out from a senior British officer to set loose the mules and the Indians; the British officers were ordered to make their way to Dunkirk for evacuation, since officers were in short supply.

Sir Paddy's father, John, disobeyed, turning loose the mules but marching his platoon to Dunkirk without loss. There he secured a berth for them all on the last ship out before the jetty was bombed.

It is not accurate. It is just a film of no worth.

Thanks for the post Anim. I have been wondering how the music was done and why it was so grippingly tense.

Why. Prove the worth of the film in relation to Project Dynomo. It has none.
