It is a good time for all World War II lowers; Churchill (2017) is in theatres, and Dunkirk (2017), most anticipated historical film of the year, is coming in theatres in July. Although Churchill did not receive good scores it is surely better than box office fiasco King Arthur: Legend of the Sword (2017). Churchill shows a period of 3 days before D-Day and Churchill’s dilemma about his second landing. First one was during World War I and it was a disaster; the landings at Gallipoli during World War I. Screenwriter of Churchill is Alex von Tunzelmann, a historian herself, but judging by first reports she took too much freedom. Historical accuracy will be a theme of our future history review.
Dunkirk
We are one month apart from Dunkirk and we can’t wait for it anymore. This is first real trip of director Christopher Nolan in history movies. We will not mention too much The Prestige (2006) with Nikola Tesla as a wizard rather the scientist. We expect a lot from Dunkirk because last few Nolan’s movies were well prepared and written gems with a special touch for the details. Interstellar brought a futuristic story with all details scientifically possible. Will Dunkirk have that level of details in historical accuracy or will the accuracy be neglected because of a drama? Do not forget Matthew McConaughey’s all that crying and tears in Interstellar. Judging by Nolan’s previous efforts and preparations; we will have a true history treat better then Hacksaw Ridge.
