Dunkirk is a masterclass in tension by Christopher Nolan as it is told from a land, sea, and air perspective, and its non-linear storyline paired with Hans Zimmer's ticking score renders the experience nerve-wracking. Minimal dialogue enables visuals and sound to tell the rest of the story. For instance, practical effects and real ships used in the film ensure viewers are immersed in the heaving sea, chaos, and struggle for survival. In recent years, it has been appreciated for redefining the war genre by focusing on collective heroism rather than individual narratives.
