Yep, the virtue-signaling fuckfaces of the liberal media just had to smear what looks like a fabulous movie about a moment of incredible heroism.

Why? Because the producers of "Dunkirk" made an historically accurate movie instead of casting women and racial minorities in critical roles. Because women and racial minorities were so pivotal to the actual battle, right?

Anyone wondering why I hate these shitstains just needs to take a look at shit like this review to see why.

Truitt writes what's otherwise a glowing review of the movie but has to bow down before the gods of PC and toss them a line like this:

The trio of timelines can be jarring as you figure out how they all fit, and the fact that there are only a couple of women and no lead actors of color may rub some the wrong way.

God damn these people. They'd erase all of Western history if they could because almost all of it centered on white males to the exclusion of African-Americans, lesbians, overt homosexuals, the transgendered, Asians, pygmies, Native Americans, and etc.

Not to worry. There are some things not even cultural marxists can manipulate.

Chief among them is what makes a story good. If it's good, it sells and that's all there is to that.

Remember how they went after Wonder Woman? No hairy armpits, then they only wanted women watching and on it went. Didn't matter.

Last time I checked the box office was over 3/4 of a billion dollars and those weren't all hairy armpit, chick bucks.

On the other hand they wanted to push you into the theatre to watch the all female Ghostbusters bad.

But what happened there?

The GHOSTBUSTERS Reboot Has Officially Bombed At The Box Office; Sequel Now Unlikely

Because it stunk. Not necessarily because it was snowflake friendly. Just because it stunk.

If it's good, Dunkirk will do fine. Those of us who are immune can safely ignore the instructions to the pod people on this one, I think. Not even orders from the mothership can stop a good movie if it's good.

"Dunkirk"

A Poem by Robert Nathan

WILL came back from school that day,
And he had little to say.

To where the gray-green Channel water
Slapped at the foot of the little town,
And to where his boat, the Sarah P,
Bobbed at the tide on an even keel,
With her one old sail, patched at the leech,
Furled like a slattern down at heel.

He stood for a while above the beach,

He saw how the wind and current caught her;

He looked a long time out to sea.

There was steady wind, and the sky was pale,

And a haze in the east that looked like smoke.

But he stood a long time looking down




Will went back to the house to dress.

He was half way through, when his sister Bess

Who was near fourteen, and younger than he

By just two years, came home from play.

She asked him, "Where are you going, Will?"

He said, "For a good long sail."

"Can I come along?"

"No, Bess," he spoke.
"I may be gone for a night and a day."
Bess looked at him. She kept very still.

She had heard the news of the Flanders rout,
How the English were trapped above Dunkirk,
And the fleet had gone to get them out—
But everyone thought that it wouldn't work.
There was too much fear, there was too much doubt.

She looked at him, and he looked at her.
They were English children, born and bred.
He frowned her down, but she wouldn't stir.
She shook her proud young head.
"You'll need a crew," she said.

They raised the sail on the Sarah P,

Like a penoncel on a young knight's lance,

And headed the Sarah out to sea,

To bring their soldiers home from France.





There was no command, there was no set plan,

But six hundred boats went out with them

On the gray-green waters, sailing fast,

River excursion and fisherman,

Tug and schooner and racing M,

And the little boats came following last.

From every harbor and town they went
Who had sailed their craft in the sun and rain,
From the South Downs, from the cliffs of Kent,
From the village street, from the country lane.

There are twenty miles of rolling sea
From coast to coast, by the seagull's flight,
But the tides were fair and the wind was free,
And they raised Dunkirk by the fall of night.

They raised Dunkirk with its harbor torn
By the blasted stern and the sunken prow;
They had raced for fun on an English tide,
They were English children bred and born,
And whether they lived, or whether they died,
They raced for England now.

Bess was as white as the Sarah's sail,
She set her teeth and smiled at Will.
He held his course for the smoky veil




Where the harbor narrowed thin and long.
The British ships were firing strong.

He took the Sarah into his hands,

He drove her in through fire and death

To the wet men waiting on the sands.

He got his load and he got his breath,

And she came about, and the wind fought her.

He shut his eyes and he tried to pray.
He saw his England where she lay,
The wind's green home, the sea's proud daughter,
Still in the moonlight, dreaming deep,
The English cliffs and the English loam-
He had fourteen men to get away,
And the moon was clear, and the night like day
For planes to see where the white sails creep
Over the black water.

He closed his eyes and he prayed for her;

He prayed to the men who had made her great,

Who had built her land of forest and park,

Who had made the seas an English lake;

He prayed for a fog to bring the dark;

He prayed to get home for England's sake.

And the fog came down on the rolling sea,




And covered the ships with English mist.
The diving planes were baffled and blind.

For Nelson was there in the Victory,
With his one good eye, and his sullen twist,

And guns were out on The Golden Hind,

Their shot flashed over the Sarah P.

He could hear them cheer as he came about.

By burning wharves, by battered slips,
Galleon, frigate, and brigantine,
The old dead Captains fought their ships,
And the great dead Admirals led the line.
It was England's night, it was England's sea.

The fog rolled over the harbor key.

Bess held to the stays, and conned him out.

And all through the dark, while the Sarah's wake
Hissed behind him, and vanished in foam,
There at his side sat Francis Drake,
And held him true, and steered him home.

We had to read this one in grade school English.

The Snow Goose: A Story of Dunkirk

It was pretty good.

[stratos]

I do not recall the name of the movie but I watched it in the late 70's or early 80's, it was about Dunkirk where the guy had a small boat and made at least one trip to there and back to England. His last trip to rescue the soldiers he didn't come back from. At the end they show his small boat all shot up. Was so eerie you only heard the waves lapping against the boat. Not guns, no birds, nothing. It was very striking to me at a young age.

[Tricks]

Dumb, it's like people butthurt that they casted a white guy to play a white character in Ironfist.

[housewife]

Sounds like you had a better book in English than I every time we moved I would end up in a class taking The Pearl by John Steinbeck. Hated it the first time thought about burning it by the third. The only war story I remember was All Quite On The Western Front. Mind you history was a very dull class in school too which is sad. How they can take such an amazing fascinating subject and turn it into a dull boring recital of name and dates is beyond me.

Dunkirk is one of the movies out this year that I want to see. Though I will wait for real reviews from people I know then get the DVD.

There is a 1958 version, called "Dunkirk", with Richard Attenborough and John Mills.
Black and white, very good movie.
Is it that one ?


Also, "In which we serve", which was made in 1942.


The fact that the left wing panty waste retarded SJWfags have their
blue dyed pubic hair all in a tizzy, might make it the first time in
10 years I would actually pay to see a movie.

We'll see.

What, the one with Jonboy from the Waltons and Ernest Borgnine ?
What a waste of time.

There is 1930's version, much better.

I missed the part where anyone was calling the movie sexist or racist or even spoke out about a lack of minorities or women.

Are you tilting at windmills again?

A very good possibility that it was. Just so long ago but man that image still sticks in my head. I have any discussion or read about Dunkirk and bang there it is in my head. I seem to also recall the Hero had some sort of handicap (bad leg or arm I think) that kept him out of service. He was very down about it and saw this as his way of contributing to the war.

So did I, but they didn't tell me it was written as a piece of
left wing pacifist propaganda at the time.
Had to find that out later.
