‘Dunkirk’ First Response

Critical Score: 8.8/10

The most memorable scene for me is the torpedo scene. Christopher Nolan accurately adds tension for the audience before the torpedo hits in this scene through a multitude of eye level shots; these shot types make the audience feel as if they are a soldier on the boat, at risk of the torpedo. A singular 2 second shot of the boat’s door locking closed behind the soldiers is also used to add suspense as the soldiers are now trapped into the vessel.
