Dunkirk has been the subject of topic for the film lovers around the world ever since it was premiered in the USA a week ago. When Christopher Nolan said that he was going to make a movie about a real incident that happened during the early stages of the Second World War, his fans were in the assumption that, finally, Nolan is going to deliver a product that all could understand without giving too much of work to their brains. But no, they are dearly mistaken.

Dunkirk is told from three points of view, one on the beach with a huge gang of military slang infanteers, the 2nd being the evacuation by the Navy headed by a few civilians and the 3rd from mid air where few brave fighter pilots engage in plane combat. In fact, if you notice the poster of Dunkirk you could find, the title is divided into three segments denoting the triptych plot of air, sea and land.

Around 4 lakh allied soldiers from England, France, and a couple of other countries get surrounded by an unassailable German army on the beaches of Dunkirk during World War II. How few thousands of spirited soldiers, make their way home is all Dunkirk about. Though the story looks relatively straightforward, the treatment, however, is complicated. Maybe that is how Nolan fans want it to be.

The film does not travel in a chronological manner. As mentioned, it is a triptych plot that goes in 3 different timelines. Initially, the screenplay could be mind bending but as things get settled, you might get a clear picture and that is the beauty of Dunkirk. If you do not get hold of the concept, you might end up getting distracted mid way.
