They had some of this included such as the soldiers trying to clear the way for the soldiers running with the stretcher. I felt they emphasized the soldiers dropping their discipline instead. I wish they would have shown more of the soldiers that maintained their composure !Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14765357939099721062noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2807403883562053852.post-38746430635294593452017-07-23T10:04:30.326-06:002017-07-23T10:04:30.326-06:00While visually stunning I found the movie to lack ...While visually stunning I found the movie to lack the scale of the evacuation. Nolan tried to focus on a few narrow views, but it didn't work for me.<br /><br />Plus, lots of technical gaffes (the Spit Mk V wasn't even ordered until late 1940, the destroyers were anchored (huh?) in a war zone and didn't have engines up/guns manned (huh? and there isn't a lot of open space to put a few hundred extra people below decks milling around.<br /><br />Also, why were British soldiers standing in salt water in formation, for hours, while the tides came in and out?

In his life he confronted homicidal River Pirates, Indian war parties incited by the Spanish, Small Pox and Yellow Fever epidemics, the New Madrid Earthquake, bigotry and slavery, and even Jean Lafitte. That said, what do we get from HBO: Alt History of the third American Civil War.<br /><br />I will now go back to the true form of modern Slavery: On-line computer games.
