On September the 25th 2017, I watched a movie called “DUNKIRK”, directed by Christopher Nolan. It is an entanglement of three stories in land, sea and air, describing one scenery of the withdrawal in the Battle of Dunkirk of WW II. The drama only described “group performance” in the withdrawal, however, the scenes were poetical rather than realistic expressions in recent war films. The time axes of three stories flowed separately, but finally merged in the last part. The background music composed by Hans Zimmer were full of sense perturbing audience’s mind, resembling a fantastic fascist movie “The Childhood of a Leader” whose music was composed by Scott Walker. One of the prominent characteristics of this movie is that almost no German soldiers appeared in the movie, metaphoring invisible threat to the people. No ultramighty hero appeared, despite the presence of relief for British people in some parts. You can enjoy the movie as one possible reconstruction of the battle as a poem.
