Dunkirk another Nolan victory

Director's name on harrowing blockbuster proves a huge draw for Chinese audiences

With his latest war film, Dunkirk, Christopher Nolan has his name buzzing across China yet again. After just three days of public screening on the Chinese mainland, on Sept 3, the film had already raked in over 197 million yuan ($30.1 million; 25.13 million euros; 22.60 million).

On Douban, a major Chinese film rating platform, Dunkirk is currently rated 8.6 out of 10, sitting comfortably in the top 10 percent of both war and history films.

For many Chinese fans, the director was the main draw.

"I went to see the film because of Nolan," said Huang Ziyun, a moviegoer, whose opinion was echoed by many others. "His films have always delivered, so I had faith and high expectations in this one. I'm also very interested in films that depict history."

The film did not disappoint. Telling the story of the evacuation of defeated British and French soldiers who were pinned to the sea by the German Army during a fierce battle in World War II, Dunkirk puts the audience through an immersive experience that many have found unique.

"There were many scenes that imposed an oppressive feeling on me, such as the scene where a number of young soldiers hid in a boat's cabin and became the target for the German soldiers' shooting drill," says Shen Cong, a viewer in Beijing.

"It dragged the audience to the battleground right from the get-go," says a user named QueerasfolkChina on Douban. "The three storylines overlapped one another, making us struggle and panic inside out."

The reference was to three storylines that took place in a week for soldiers desperately waiting for a beach rescue, a day for a family sailing from England to the rescue and an hour for a group of fighter pilots shielding the rescue from the air, which intertwined with each other and converged in the end.

"I love the way Nolan has resorted to minimalism in telling the stories," he said. "Without much blood and violence, it still presented the tension and brutality of war."

Huang agrees. "Unlike most other war films, it doesn't draw a clear line between love and hate," she said. "It's more about showing the emotions and senses in the thick of an evacuation."

Their words echoed those by Nolan himself in August.

"This story is about suspense. Suspense is a cinematic language where you can't take your eyes off the screen," he said.

"Time in any film is a very interesting tool for filmmakers to use."

For viewers, his take on time and suspense might be less convincing without the ear-scratching and tension-building music produced by German composer Hans Zimmer.

"The soundtrack is the most significant source for an immersive experience," Huang says, highlighting the role audio plays in intriguing an audience.

"Zimmer also resorted to minimalism for this film, which fits very well with the ambience that Nolan wanted to create," Shen said, "even though the ever-rumbling background sounds distracted me from the plots a bit."

After all, apart from all the suspense and ambience, Dunkirk is a story "about communal heroism - about the cumulative effect of small acts of human heroism and what we can achieve together, rather than individually," Nolan says.

That's part of why a lot of viewers are confident the film will continue to attract Chinese moviegoers, even though it doesn't directly relate to Chinese history. It is immersive yet in a way unorthodox.

"There are no boundaries for the appeal of this film," Huang says. "It allows us to look at warfare from a unique angle."

Others simply took it as a call for peace.

"Just take it as a anti-war story to follow and you'll be touched as I was," says Mao Zhuxin, a viewer from Chongqing.

"May peace prevail on earth."
