World War Two class

The Year 10 World War Two class went to watch the movie Dunkirk on Friday, 18 August.

 

This is a review by Jaderick Calimlim 10C

The film was based on the Dunkirk evacuation where 338 000 soldiers were successfully evacuated from France to Britain. The movie really captures the sheer terror that was Dunkirk and the severity of the situation.

 

What the movie fails to show was the sheer scale of the event and the bravery of around 30 000 French and Belgian troops who still held the line only to be captured whilst everyone else left them behind. The film also failed to show the number of colonial troops who were representing the colonial forces at Dunkirk.

 

Overall, the class had a mixed reaction to the movie.
