A World War 2 expert gives high marks for realism to the gripping aerial dogfight sequences in Christopher Nolan's epic war movie Dunkirk.
Christopher Nolan’s Dunkirk dogfights get high marks for realism from a WW2 expert. Set for release this summer, Nolan’s latest film Oppenheimer tells the true story of the man who invented the atomic bomb, the super-weapon that brought an end to the most destructive conflict in human history.
SCREENRANT VIDEO OF THE DAY SCROLL TO CONTINUE WITH CONTENT Nolan’s epic Dunkirk movie was praised upon its release for its commitment to realism, and at least according to one expert, the film’s reputation as a truthful depiction of the war is well-earned. Speaking to Insider, Air Force officer Lt. Col. Matt Ziemann took apart Dunkirk’s dogfight sequences, which featured real Spitfire planes – and frequent Nolan star Tom Hardy as a British flyer.
To turn around and engage a fighter [with the engine off], you're bleeding energy. Any turns that you make, and you're just going down quicker, so the ability to turn back shoot a guy and then turn back down the beach, it's a little bit of a stretch. I mean, the guns work regardless so theoretically yes it is possible to shoot a guy down with the engine off.
Realism Has Always Been Key For Nolan Nolan’s philosophy of eschewing CGI whenever possible in favor of practical effects has led to him pull off some truly amazing cinematic feats. Famously, when it came time to crash a plane into an airport terminal in Tenet, Nolan would settle for nothing less than driving an actual 747 into an actual building.
Even when crafting fantasy realms like the world of Batman, Nolan keeps his commitment to realism, as in The Dark Knight when he filmed a real building demolition for the scene where the Joker destroys a hospital. This extra effort gives Nolan’s movies a certain edge over other big-budget films, which are filled with CGI, and very often prove to be less memorable as a result.
