Finally got around to watching 'Dunkirk' last week.

I liked it a lot, and so did Pp, but I suspect it's one of those movies that depends enormously on your personal context.   It might even seem dull or confused if it wasn't a story you grew up with

I rarely watch movies and rarely like the ones I watch but I liked "Dunkirk" a lot too, I thought it was a great movie.

It was VERY EXCITING. I was extremely tense. I suppose the world is not all that short of British-focussed WWII media, but this did seem a good addition to the genre.

Nobody is stopping the world from creating the media focused on whatever the world wants it to be focused. I don't think that you Brits owe it to the world to produce less of it or change the focus of it to please the world.

I didn't think it was the kind of movie to have only one designated hero.

I went into it with a lot of trepidation and it spoke to me strongly.

Apparently, there a considerable number of historical inaccuracies, a lot of which I missed.

I think something like that is bound to have historical inaccuracies, don't you? For one thing there's probably Debateable Stuff which varied by personal experience, and for another I guess there is limited amounts of equipment. I believe the little yacht 'Moonstone' was not one of the actual Little Ships, but was bought and named for the purpose, but I can forgive that for the overall feel and tension!
