THE MIRACLE OF DUNKIRK... AS ONLY CHRISTOPHER NOLAN COULD TELL IT. As our journey toward Christopher Nolan's The Odyssey continues, Tara Erickson, Jackie Bonsignore & Paige Kimsey experience Dunkirk (2017) for the first time, reacting to one of Nolan's most immersive and intense war films. From the breathtaking beach evacuation, Tom Hardy's unforgettable Spitfire mission, Hans Zimmer's relentless ticking score, and the film's innovative nonlinear storytelling to its emotional finale, this Dunkirk reaction is a gripping cinematic experience. Dunkirk Reaction (Full Length Watch Along): https://www.patreon.com/thereelrejects Taking care of your health just got easier – start here with Zocdoc: https://zocdoc.com/REJECTS #sponsored In this Dunkirk movie reaction, Dunkirk full movie reaction, and review, Tara, Jackie & Paige react to Christopher Nolan's (Oppenheimer, The Dark Knight Trilogy) World War II epic starring Fionn Whitehead as Tommy (Black Mirror: Bandersnatch, Great Expectations), Tom Hardy as Farrier (Mad Max: Fury Road, The Revenant), Cillian Murphy as The Shivering Soldier (Oppenheimer, Peaky Blinders), Mark Rylance as Mr. Dawson (Bridge of Spies, Wolf Hall), Kenneth Branagh as Commander Bolton (Belfast, Murder on the Orient Express), Harry Styles as Alex (My Policeman, Don't Worry Darling), and Barry Keoghan as George (The Banshees of Inisherin, Saltburn), featuring a pulse-pounding score by Hans Zimmer (Interstellar, Dune). From the desperate race to escape the beaches and breathtaking aerial dogfights to the civilian rescue fleet and one of Christopher Nolan's most emotionally powerful endings, Tara, Jackie & Paige discuss why Dunkirk remains one of the most technically impressive and suspenseful war films ever made. #Dunkirk #ChristopherNolan #TheOdyssey #NolanMarathon #TomHardy #HarryStyles #HansZimmer #DunkirkEnding #MovieReaction #ReelRejects #TaraJackiePaige #WarMovies #cinematictension 0:00 Checking inn.. 1:33 DUNKIRK REACTION 37:44 Zoc Doc Ad 51:58 DUNKIRK REVIEW Intense Suspense by Audionautix is licensed under a Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 license. https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/ Support The Channel By Getting Some REEL REJECTS Apparrel! https://www.rejectnationshop.com/ TENET (2020) MOVIE REACTION: https://youtu.be/pTnFB6ilq7I THE PRESTIGE (2006) MOVIE REACTION: https://youtu.be/tmO25RJOkT4 INCEPTION (2010) MOVIE REACTION: https://youtu.be/kIT6LXS4p74 THE FURIOUS (2025) MOVIE REACTION: https://youtu.be/WmN_fGIelKU Follow *Tara Erickson* https://www.youtube.com/@TaraErickson https://www.instagram.com/taraerickson/ https://twitter.com/thetaraerickson Follow *Jackie Bonsignore* Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/jackiebonsignore/ Tik Tok: https://www.tiktok.com/@jackiebonsignore Band Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/lucythebandofficial Follow *Paige Kimsey* https://www.instagram.com/paige.popcorn?igsh=NTc4MTIwNjQ2YQ== RR Clips & Shorts Channel: https://www.youtube.com/@ReelRejectsClips Follow TheReelRejects On The Socials: IG: https://www.instagram.com/reelrejects/ TT: https://www.tiktok.com/@thereelrejects?lang=en TWITTER: https://twitter.com/thereelrejects FB: https://www.facebook.com/TheReelRejects/ Music Used In Ad: Hat the Jazz by Twin Musicom is licensed under a Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 license. https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/ Happy Alley by Kevin MacLeod is licensed under a Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 license. https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/ Supervising Producer: https://twitter.com/nerdchronic?lang=en Co-Editor: Greg Alba Co-Editor: John Humphrey Music In Video: Airport Lounge - Disco Ultralounge by Kevin MacLeod is licensed under a Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 license. https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/ Follow & Listen to Us Wherever You Get Your Podcasts!! - Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/3XHMwbveiznxSOGxN9XT0M - Google Podcasts: https://podcasts.google.com/feed/aHR0cHM6Ly9mZWVkcy5tZWdhcGhvbmUuZm0vc3Rhci13YXJzLXRhbGs - Apple Podcasts: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/the-reel-rejects-tv-movie-recaps/id1616339990 - Audible: https://www.audible.com/pd/The-Apocalypse-Podcast/B08JJP58FG PLAYLISTS: Trailer Reactions & Reviews: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PL-bIhJVeYWw9ZsLdoAQFpx38s2hhyFgDe Movie Reviews: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PL-bIhJVeYWw-comtadVs8b9JsZEWHUyr8 Movie Talk (News, Spoiler Reviews, & Film Rumors!!!): https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PL-bIhJVeYWw8fPQ-21NVSb2IOwIiHbVt8 Youtube Video Reactions & Discussions: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PL-bIhJVeYWw_qwcPsN_vOxXC6IVzrOQYG Sketches & Short Films: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PL-bIhJVeYWw_zWuTRfBOUP3aYyIYRzc2y

The fact that the British were able to evacuate the vast majority of their army from Dunkirk, was miraculous.

My father was captured along with the rear guard at Dunkirk. He spent 5 years as a POW. He was 22 in 1940.

My grandfather was one of the men on that beach in 1940. Two of the evacuation ships that he was on were sunk. There were about 850 of the small civilian boats who helped during the evacuation. It took a week to evacuate over 338,000 soldiers.

Mark Rylance’s character is based on the real life story of Charles Lightoller, who had been the 2nd Officer of the Titanic. He was the highest ranking officer to survive the sinking and was a pivotal figure in the investigations into that disaster. He served as a captain of a destroyer during WW1. By Dunkirk he was retired, but took his private yacht along with his son and a young local boy to sail to Dunkirk himself rather than let the Navy requisition it. He dodged German Air Force fire using techniques taught to him by his late son who has served in the RAF. In a boat rated for 21 passengers, he rescued 127 soldiers.

I like Tara saying how loud it is yet she screams at full volume every 5 minutes. 😂

In an interview w Nolan, he specifically said that he made it a point to make sure he never showed a German Soldier to heighten the fear of the viewer not knowing 'where they are'... brilliant, and cost effective lol.
