I don’t see enough people talking about the Trojan horse scene. The tide coming in, people drowning. Might have been my favorite scene of the film.

I love how this movie takes from all of Nolan’s ideas throughout his filmography (facing your faith: Tenet, anti-war: Oppenheimer, the power of the desire to reunite with family: Interstellar) and that scene was straight up Dunkirk

That scene was basically the same exact scene as the boat scene from Dunkirk and I realized it right after I typed this up lol.

Makes sense why I liked it as Dunkirk is the only Nolan movie I consider a masterpiece.

The best way to describe this movie is that it’s literally Nolan’s greatest hits.

I felt the same way. it really felt like it was an accumulation of all of Nolan’s past work. Just another classic Nolan banger
