Dunkirk-the movie

There are very few of us still alive who lived during the war years of the 30’s and 40’s. I encouraged friends and family to see this movie. A great opportunity was squandered to educate our people on those critical times when the fate of civilization was in jeopardy. Instead we follow two cowards as they use a wounded soldier as a ruse to move to the front of the line to escape to England. Director Christopher Nolan stated he avoided Churchill as he didn’t want to get bogged down in politics. There is a great little book “Five Days in London May 1940” by John Lukacs. The cabinet was considering negotiating with Germany for peace. Had Churchill not been Prime Minister they would have capitulated. This was during the evacuation from France. To tell this dramatic story would have thrilled audiences knowing how desperate the situation was. Jack B. Walters July 24, 2017 j
