Human Condition Paragraph
Ocean, beach and a false sense of hope is the only thing the WW2 soldiers have in Christopher Nolan’s Dunkirk. Forced out to sea from the enclosing Nazi frontline, these tired, helpless soldiers desperately wait to be ferried back to home to England. To add to the starvation and suicides, the most agonizing part is that home was visible from the foamy shores. Every week brings a Battle Ferry, that can carry many men, but certainly not the 400,000 that were stuck at Dunkirk. Being this, local fishermen and navy sailed across the stormy channel to aid the dying soldiers and bring them back home. Hundreds of small vessels did so. In the end, over 300,000 men were rescued. During this whole fiesta, the director made light on the different point of views from different people during the whole movie. All had their own time in the movie but later all intertwined to show the viewer how they linked up and wrapped up the film. This action-packed drama does certainly have a lot to learn from. It shows the struggle to stay alive from your enemies and overcome them by beating them in the long run. It also demonstrates the generosity of others in needed times referencing that we all need a little help in hard situations. There is nothing more human than helping others, and at the same time, nothing more human than beating and tearing people apart.
