And the Oscar for best costume design goes
to Dunkirk…Preditction Bold Statement.
You can skip my banter and read the
Vulture’s Oscar Nomination predictions here: “…of those Oscar categories I’ve mentioned, I think Dunkirk
is well-positioned to score at least ten nominations” However, the Saving
Private Ryan feel of best costume design is looking like the The Darkest Hour
or Gaurdians of the Galaxy. I will try to make a case for Dunkirk getting the
Oscar.
First the reason why I believe the movie will be thrown in for the oscars early is because how could it not have better costumes than Harry Potter’s Magical Beasts and Where to Find Them. The Character’s outfits were the most important troupe of the movie and even dictated how much power one had over another. Without a lot of differences in setting, such as the beach, air, and boat, the costumes worn in the movie were perfect.
Ok first, was that I have to acknowledge
that I like military style, especially the kind from the Renaissance Era. You
can read more about it in the book Military Style Invades Fashion with men
wearing head scarves and hackers who look like they are from the Matrix. Tom
hardy’s Character used his costume to convey extreme emotion for a man who
plays the villain well. His aviator jacket, with a turtleneck and aviator
shades with sunglasses flip was amazing.
His braided oxygen mask was amazing!!His
goggles always let us in suspense in how distressing his eyes were and when he
put on his oxygen mask it was very villanous like his Bane Character.
The costumes worn by the land soldier was
also great and very symbolic because the opening scene we see a soldier taking
a uniform from another soldier who was being buried. There was a funny scene
when Harry Styles gets in one of the lines and then the person in front says
Infirmery Only!! Know one knew rank because it was chaos
After two hours of aerial footage,
and exploding dark boats with the same looking people, it made you feel distorted
like you were watching an alien spaceship. You lost all hope for the character
and personal touch because he was a blink in a sea of the exact same people.
That was expected.
The yacht men’s costume was also well played
because it made the clash of any new characters extremely discomforting because
the costumes were motifs for forces about to collide, like you wondered if they
were going to turn around because of how hostile the clash of citizen and army
soldier was.
Next was the internal politics I am not
going to reference this to the world today because there is absolutely no
comparing the scenario to anything that would be plausible. I am just saying
there was a prominent theme of internal conflict between the allies and you
begin to think would prisoners of war really turn on each other? Well, that’s
like saying would prisoners begin hurting each other like pawns in a chess
game? So, that’s where I draw the line because judging internal conflict is
like judging how one family decides to live.
Next, I left the theater when the I felt
like screaming for something. In the lobby I heard what sounded like a
chainsaw, true grit, and wanted to know what movie, then the next steps was to
just get in the last 15 minutes. Something finally fucking happened!! Like give
me a fucking movie of suspense and I will walk out before the monster shows on
the screen I don’t give a Fuck. I seriously thought I was watching March of The
Penguins meets Fashion Week in Paris.
Give me something, give me the fucking
transcripts of the radio calls. Give me the number of casulaties per day. Give
me something! All I got was a buch of 3 second clips and some shaky cameras
with a bunch of people standing still. No communication was portrayed. They
were absolutely the worst story tellers, and I am glad it wasn’t a space opera
with an even slower love narrative. Does anyone know how to ask a french for a
door for a raft?!
I hope I got the story right, but I
definitely see a gripe at an oscar in score ( I wore Mack’s Pillow Soft
Earplugs.) Then I would have took the sand bags from the French, and set up a
cliff as big as Normany and set up every single infantry man to shoot create a
wall of communication to track enemy planes instead of lying in the sand like a
2 year old kid. They weren’t defenseless they were victims of war.
