this scene is haunting...gives me shivers all the time...but if your impressed by this one take or even the children of men one take....you should look up the Russian ark from Sokurov....96 minutes of film...one take...i was speechless.
It was filmed near my home town. The steelworks are immense, just out of view. Indian-owned. The water through the pipes is Chinese owned. To the north, the major employers are Japanese and German. The Tommy won the war but lost everything, or just about, on Tommy turf.
@transonicbuoy1 I don't often go to church, but did last Sunday and "Dear Lord..." was the opening hymn of the mass. Find it hard not to get a lump in the throat at the best of times, but, the night before, I had read a stack of letters, sent home during WWII, from my (Geordie) uncles, three of whom died in the war. The letters had me weeping. Even in 1942, one of them wrote "This should be the last Christmas away". In a way, it was; all three died in 1943. Could hardly sing it. RIP.
@LookoutVan I think the beauty of the scene is that the movie has captured what may had happened during the Dunkirk Beach in the war. You can not only see the emotion of the people, but also feel it. Watch it and look at the scenery. Sad, dark and without any hope all captured under one continuous shot. And I think that is what is so amazing and what we call beautiful.
Man! I love the scene when the Brave British soldiers are singing. I mean, I cant discrive it. Is the scent of the defeat, and the camarady at the same time, along with such a beutifull song. And when the french soldiers is killing the horse, thats son sad.
My favourite part <3 I just adore the bit where robbie smells the sea and runs throught the tall grass whilst that brilliant soundtrack plays in the background! Gives me goosebumps,
All we like sheep have gone astray; we have turned every one to his own way; and the LORD hath laid on him the iniquity of us all. He was oppressed, and he was afflicted, yet he opened not his mouth: he is brought as a lamb to the slaughter, and as a sheep before her shearers is dumb, so he openeth not his mouth" (Is. 53:4-8)
"Surely he hath borne our griefs, and carried our sorrows: yet we did esteem him stricken, smitten of God, and afflicted. But he was wounded for our transgressions, he was bruised for our iniquities: the chastisement of our peace was upon him; and with his stripes we are healed......
Nique Charles de Gaulle. Hundreds of British boys died for the defense of France in the early part of the war, as well as in the Liberation of France...and that cocksucking piece of shit, was Anglophobic, and that Anglophobia has ran through French politics until Sarkozy....Nique Chirac aussi!
The British fought for France and those fromage eating cocksuckers give nothing in return!
Nique La France, Vive l'Angleterre! J'adore les Anglais!!!!!!
@mrshellshock Who do you think fought to protect the port of Dunkirk from the Germans and hold them off until the boats picked up the soldiers of BEF It was the French you retard. And also the British told the French to hold the town so they could run away from the Germans first.
Pendant les annees 60, Charles de Gaulle a continue de bloque l'ascension du Royaume-Uni au European Economic Community. Ce n'etait que en 1973 que le RU a entre La Communite. Pourquoi?
Je deteste De Gaulle et son fils Chirac en matiere de leur animosite envers Le RU
I don't. I understand de Gaulle perfectly well why he blocked the UK from the E.C. The U.K cannot stand strong continental powers and has never done anything but to divide and undermine the continental powers of Europe. It has been english european policy since the battle of Hastings in 1066. The day the UK joined the EC the project was severely destabilized. The UK has been the strongest advocate for ever more enlargement in order to kill the EU. The UK never changes.
@bhoyjack can't handle the truth, mate? Which country lobbied the most for Greeces membership in the E.C back in the 80's? And then reiterated on that country's behalf when it wanted to join the EMU? Which country was the forerunner on the ever expanding enlargement-doctrine? Which country is Turkey's biggest allied concerning that country's accession to the EU? Divide and conquer is the leitmotiv of the UK since centuries back.
@betraktare1 What the fuck has that got to do with the evacuation of Dunkirk you clown ?... And as for the corrupt EU , id pull Britain out tomorrow and leave them to it. Funny that Europe is being run by a Belgian - a man from a non-country which is famous only for paeodofillia... . And as for Turkey , im no fan of muslim Turkey.
CAP is a French conspiracy. The French have many farmers/agriculteurs who claim the CAP subsidy, and the British pay for this horseshit, when we don;t receive as much CAP subsidy on our island.
The UK should leave the EU, and watch it crumble without the UK's generous budget contribution. The UK is the second largest donor to the EU pot after our German friends, and gets squat all whilst the poor Spanish cunts get a large return from the EU pot.
@buffard12345 sorry retard but obviously you are a dumbass. hitler ordered the german army to NOT ENTER dunkirk. he was proving is superiority. and he did a great job of it to. the french army surrendered way before dunkirk dumbass so hmmmmm whos defending the british expeditionary force? noone.
also note. BOTH french and british were rescued at the same time. you really have to learn your history. after all dunkirk was one of hitlers first mistakes if you havent learnt that.
@wowimkool3 The germans attacked the outskirts of dunkirk while luftwaffe bombed the beaches, and no the French first army was still fighting the germans on the outskirts of dunkirk. And ps I think you need to take some chill pills and learn some history
@wowimkool3 No my friend, you are rong. The French surrender after Dunkirk, at june 22. Like a moth after the evacuation.
You underestimate the French resistent. 7 French division, along with british troops, where covering the Dunkirk Evacuation. You just think because the French surrender, the where coward, or somithing like that. But no. There was a great resistent, with great infiority. The German Army had Tanks, aircrafts, bombs, and will. The French had only Will.
@buffard12345 And you also forget Dickhead that The Royal Navy evacuated 139'000 French "soldiers" from Dunkirk. And you also forget that The BEF was over in France fighting for the French and a lot of British blood was spilled in doing so. The same as all the America and Canadian blood that was spilled on D-Day on the beaches of Normandy. But there will never be any thanks from the French.....
@bhoyjack and the french navy helped evacuate the BEF, you could also say the same about the french pilots that fought in the battle for britain.... to save england
The naval officer on the beach mentions the Lancastria being sunk with the loss of 3000 men - this actually happened two weeks after Dunkirk, off the French port of St Nazaire when 200,000+ were evacuated from ports in western France. Obviously less well known than Dunkirk (just reading about it!). Google "Operation Ariel" if interested.
At the end where everyone is sining "fuck em all" and it has the man playing the ukulele, i've played ukulele with him at a few ww2 reenactment events :D
This is one of the most beautiful, sad and impressive scenes in any film I ever saw. To do the whole scene in just one shot with this one camera. I will never forget it.
I'm in this clip for about ten seconds (I'm one of the naval officers marching behind Tobias Menzies). We did 5 or 6 takes before the light went down. The director just did as many as he could fit in and used the best one. It was done in one day though. There were 1000 extras each being paid £50 a day. The first day was largely set-up and the initial scene as Robbie looks over the beach. The second was this scene. The third was the cinema scene.
@LightStijn Nothing to technical. The horses were basically trained to fall when given the signal. Not sure what that signal was because we spent our time at the other end of the beach and never actually walked as far as the horses. But there were no special effects or anything.
To be honest, although i liked the film, i'm not a big fan of this shot. It felt a bit contrived when i watched it. I get the feeling it was done to show people what an extravagent shot he could do-a grandiose tracking shot just to show he had it in his repetoire. Just my opinion though.
Εξιλέωση. Ενα απο τα πιο ωραια και συνθετα μονοπλανα του παγκοσμιου Κινηματογραφου.... Το θυμηθηκα οταν ανηφοριζα τη Σταδιου... Σ'αυτη την πόλη που χθες που θυμιζε κατι απο κηδεία...
@daiduongdao The gymnastic scene was to reveal the skiils each man on the beach had. Remember, before they joined they were ordinary citizens; plumbers, doctors, musicians, artists etc. That gymnastic bit was more likely to show that during this part of the war they were more citizens still rather than soldiers and explains the dissordorly behaviour on the beach, something you wouldn't normally see in full time recruits.
most moving scene in the movie, how many takes did it take to shoot? its such a horrific scene so beautifully done, you got to have a heart of stone not to be touched by this.
I agree, this is such a profound scence. The amount of planning that must have gone into making this continuous scence possible, must have been painstakingly meticulous
@TheAbbokid it was shot with a steadicam not a dolly, but the steadicam operator does step onto a 4 track halfway in the shot and then gets off again.
@dragonfruit89 No no, It's one shot. Their were 3 takes but on the third (and the best), The steadicam operator tripped on the pair which they digitally fixed. :)
*cough* yes, there were africans and other nations helping and fighting in the wars but they were generally abused and unappreciated as you can imagine cos youre doing that now
Beautifully shot as this scene is, I cannot help but dislike it intensely. I wonder what sources exactly the director used when designing this scene? I think there is way too much 21st century morality being used to depict mid 20th Century events?
3:11 mid screen me avin a fag then 3.14 on the right ov screen top extra loved the 3 days great experience thanks Mr. Wright world class director one for the gran kids micky mcc ESTON BORO.....
the excellent music score on this film . tells the story as much as the script. i have three films on my favourites page . the ghost and mrs muir. leave her to heaven . wuthering heights. all 3 films had outstanding music scores . if you watch and listen to the endings on the ghost and mrs muir.and leave her to heaven . it speaks for itself !
this is one of the best scenes in the film.. you read it in the book it's hard to picture it, but they did it so well here that it's so much easier to picture it.
I'm actually in this scene. I remember the day very vividly. We began lats in the morning. I remember we did six takes in all. This is take number five. The director wanted one more but the cameraman couldn't take it and colasped with exhaustion. Everyone there gave him a round of applause. That was a day to remember.
I was originally involved in the Grimsby shoot and everyone there was invited to the Redcar shoot. I was doing media studies at college at the time and I turned this experience into a final paper. I got an A-.
For the first shoot, I replied to a newspaper article but didn't get a reply. But they also hired a local theater troop as extras so I contacted them and they said be here Monday at 10. So I went round the system.
Little Doll its not Bray dunes the whole of the battle scene's were shot on Redcar beach in the North East of england, and the dunes used are those at Warrenby behind the steel works and about a mile or so walk along the beach from where the main scenes were shot.
Some of the signs of the fillming are still there but not many.
never seen the film Dunkirk very old film i used to watch it with my dad if we couldn't be bothered to sleep or if one of us wasnt at school or work just like battle of Britain XD
this scene shows more about the horrors of war than a whole war film manages in about two hours. absolutely stunning. brilliant set, brilliant cast, and brilliant depictition of the british spirit of dunkirk. absolutely amazing. 5/5.
them three got away when Panzers attacked their squad... to make himself feel more like a leader to his friends, and to give himself an overall boost, he probably pulled it from one of the dead. That's what people did back then...
This beach such an impressive setting - as beautiful as if an impressionist master had painted it - but moving pictures are even more impressive. Wonderful job!
Little mistake in the plotting here. The Naval Officer at 0:59 mentions the sinking of the Cunard Liner 'Lancastria'(on which 4,000+ men died) This ship was actually sunk on 17th June...nearly 2 weeks after the Dunkirk evacuation ended.
This is one of the most remarkable, touching and beautiful scenes in the film history. Absolute perfection: the music, the camera, the acting, everything.
i loved this movie from the firsttime i saw it in the cinema, its so emotional it just completely blows you away. This scene was my fave though, the music in its so sad!
i must admit, i didn't like the movie, but i fell in love with this scene...it is absolutely beautiful! i would watch the movie all over again for this particular scene

I really love this movie and I hate it in the same time.
Because it''s so sad and it reminds me of the history of my family (I'm french, I'm from north of France).
I know that this scene was not really filming in Dunkerque, but, even if I'm quite young, I can feel the spirit of my region.. It's really strange.
( And by the way, I looove James Mc avoy, especially when he speaks french in this movie, with his beautiful accent. ^^)

''Take from our souls the strain and stress,
And let our ordered lives confess
The beauty of Thy peace.
Breathe through the heats of our desire
Thy coolness and Thy balm;
Let sense be dumb, let flesh retire;
Speak through the earthquake, wind, and fire,
O still, small voice of calm.''

the excellent music score on this film . tells the story as much as the script. i have three films on my favourites page . the ghost and mrs muir. leave her to heaven . wuthering heights. all 3 films had outstanding music scores . if you watch and listen to the endings on the ghost and mrs muir.and leave her to heaven . it speaks for itself !

What's the music called..it comes in at 1.50?
It's so beautiful..and somehow contrasts with and yet goes so perfectly with the scene...

The whole stunning piece is called Elegy For Dunkirk, by Dario Marianelli.
Marianelli won the Oscar for best score for this amazing music, and rightly so.

That's the power of a score especially written for a movie
Instead of chosing random music

I'm actually in this scene. I remember the day very vividly. We began lats in the morning. I remember we did six takes in all. This is take number five. The director wanted one more but the cameraman couldn't take it and colasped with exhaustion. Everyone there gave him a round of applause. That was a day to remember.

LightStijn 2 years ago
I was originally involved in the Grimsby shoot and everyone there was invited to the Redcar shoot. I was doing media studies at college at the time and I turned this experience into a final paper. I got an A-.
For the first shoot, I replied to a newspaper article but didn't get a reply. But they also hired a local theater troop as extras so I contacted them and they said be here Monday at 10. So I went round the system.

Little Doll its not Bray dunes the whole of the battle scene's were shot on Redcar beach in the North East of england, and the dunes used are those at Warrenby behind the steel works and about a mile or so walk along the beach from where the main scenes were shot.
Some of the signs of the fillming are still there but not many.

this scene shows more about the horrors of war than a whole war film manages in about two hours. absolutely stunning. brilliant set, brilliant cast, and brilliant depictition of the british spirit of dunkirk. absolutely amazing. 5/5.

I don't think that it shows the horrors of war more than other films in 2 hours but it is very very effective.

them three got away when Panzers attacked their squad... to make himself feel more like a leader to his friends, and to give himself an overall boost, he probably pulled it from one of the dead. That's what people did back then...

Little mistake in the plotting here. The Naval Officer at 0:59 mentions the sinking of the Cunard Liner 'Lancastria'(on which 4,000+ men died) This ship was actually sunk on 17th June...nearly 2 weeks after the Dunkirk evacuation ended.
