Hope they will give the BEF commander, Lord Gort, a fair shake.
He was in over his head and clearly didn't understand how war had changed. But it was his agonizing decision to pull back that saved the army and lead to Dunkirk.
Hans Zimmer for the soundtrack, too! O0
Dammit Grim beat me to the punch!! That is quite the effective trailer.
Really puts you there in that horrible moment. Good acting too by all those guys. Their eyes just say "Look we're sav...wait...holy f*ck"
I thought we were about to see Bawb come-over in his Stuka. ;D
I have been there with my dad, and stood on the beach at La Panne. He eventually was evacuated over the mole in Dunkirk by destroyer in one of the last loads out. He was 19 years old.

Damn.
Glad he made it out or else there might be no Bob-Stache to make light of. And then what would we do for fun around here?
Knowing you lot, you'd soon find something (or someone) else - MD for instance is always good to fall back on..........no, not like that............
Are you saying I am soft and squishy?!
If the shoe fits...

Father of Bawb was at Dunkirk?? We should have known!
Makes sense. You don't get to be Bawb without having a father with a kickass story.
He was also at El Alamein, took part in the amphibious invasions of Sicily and Italy and was also at Anzio. he was wounded somewhere around Monte Cassino and hospitalized for several months.
He had lots of interesting tales to tell. He's been gone for 15 years but I still miss him.

Hat's off to Bob's dad! <salute>
My grandfather was also at El Alamein, Sicily and Italy and was also at Anzio...and all this time I thought Steelie was my Dad.

Looks like you got your mustaches mixed up.

The way I heard it, Bawb's Father was so tough that the Germans LET the Brits go from Dunkirk just so they would take him with them. :o
I was surprised to see the trailer for Dunkirk run before seeing Suicide Squad yesterday. I was pissed when some stupid teen girls started laughing out loud immediately after the Stuka dive sirens ended and the movie title appeared on the screen.
They weren't too loud during the movie but they pissed someone off because some guy yelled at them to SHUT UP and they finally were silent the rest of the time. ;D
They might have laughed nervously because it freaked them out, but I still made me mad.
Have that guy tell everyone under the age of 25 everywhere to shut up.
