Thought it was great. Dunkirk was the plot. Character development - young men who survived; the goodness of the human spirit; the sacrifices of the pilots. The decency of the father and brother of the young boy who was pushed by the surviving pilot. They never let the pilot know the boy died from his head injury. One life was lost, no need to burden and destroy another with the knowledge that he was responsible. I came out of the movie knowing that the human heart is good even though we are now surrounded by cruelty and disdain by our current political leaders.

Also, words are few in war. Not much to say after all. Survival is oftentimes quiet.

The musical score was one of the actors of the movie. Perfect.
