Message: [QUOTE="upperdeck, post: 2256488, member: 474"] I think people are missing the fact the movie was filmed as a slice of what happened, 3 different views of the event over lapping was a pretty cool way to show it. it was not meant to show the whole thing in huge scope there are 3 beaches at Dunkirk, this took place at one.. there was little air presence at the beach "recurring theme in survivors’ accounts is that they never saw the RAF in the skies above them." there were more than 15 boats in the movie, and while there were lots of boats, they were not all there at the same time, it took place over a week, 700 ships spread out over 7 days, not all went multiple times. many just ferried between shore and the destroyers. so at any one time you could not have had that many ships in view on any single beach.
