It was a disaster movie about a real disaster. Other than the Mark Rylance character, we are told almost nothing about any character's background and learn little about their individual personalities except that they are doggedly trying to survive or help others to. it makes every character and "everyman" we can relate to and it thus a tribute to all of them.

I can't say I learned anything about Dunkirk I didn't know so unless you are unacquainted with it's history to begin with it's not all that educational. (The same could be said of Titanic and other disaster films.) It is too loud. I was the only one stupid enough to sit in the front section of theater seats. The musical score was unnerving. I'm still not sure of what a "Shepard Tone" is but I didn't much like it:

Watching it is a harrowing experience, unleavened by humor or romance, (the only women in it are a couple of nurses we who presumably die when their ship is bombed or torpedoed in one of several escape attempts. They play some confusing tricks with time, although it all comes together at the end.

I was glad I went but gladder to leave the theater and return to my mundane life.
