You just need to read my initial message with more care. SBD was far more patronising than you think I was, but I don’t hold you responsible for what he said and presumably you fail to mention that fact because he agrees with you. I think you’re just looking for offence, when all that was offered was friendly DEfence of a different opinion.

Thank you for patronising me (again). I read your post as it was intended, thank you. You like Zimmer's musical style. Fine. Each to his own. I like a small part of his output but his recent work leaves me cold for the reasons I cited previously. As to Nolan's style of directing...again, we will have to agree to disagree but I find your esoteric defence of it amusing and a bit exasperating. He shows some real brilliance in some parts of his movies...in others he leaves me stone cold...more so the latter.

Mr Marshall. You are a very nice piece of work. A keyboard commando, albeit with a limited knowledge of ENGLISH English. Your sense of "humour" is about as funny as a gas oven at Auschwitz. You disgust me.

Btw from now on all words must use the original Greek spellings.
So despite the dictionary spelling of ..oh let us say "pedophilia", you are required to use the root "paedo" despite its absence from any Englishman Dictionary.
Got that TG?(

I don’t especially “like” his musical style (I guess you mean in this film) but I think it works and I applaud Nolan and Zimmer for essaying a different approach to a war film. I’m not actually a big Zimmer fan but I’m not afraid or ashamed to say when I think he gets it right. I agree exactly with Peter Greenhill, above. You could easily have applied a jaunty theme, and an elegy for the dead servicemen, a bit of suspense music and a Spitfire fugue (!) and some people would have liked it and others may have lamented a missed opportunity to do something a bit more avant garde. But that isn’t how Christopher Nolan rolls.

If you want that kind of film, re-watch A Bridge Too Far or Battle of Britain or Saving Private Ryan - of all of which I think very highly - but the diverse approach to Dunkirk is laudable in my view.

I do hope I continue to amuse smile

Amazing! Do you have an ENGLISH dictionary? Look the word up. Edify yourself. What is an "Englishman dictionary"? Is that something you invented to sound intelligent?

paedophile
See also: pædophile
English ~ UK
Noun
paedophile (plural paedophiles)

Britain, Canada, Australia and New Zealand standard spelling of pedophile.

I wonder if you are capable of comprehending this? Perhaps not.

If you had written this in the first place perhaps we would not have had this spat. I disagree about Nolan's vision for this film...I think it does not do the historical evidence due justice. As to Zimmer's score...to me it just added to annoyingly-loud soundscape in the film. Each to his own.

Your comment "I am not a big Zimmer fan " is highly insulting. I demand an apology.

Try to understand. Casting aspersions as you did is NOT funny. It is even less funny to a person who was a victim of a disgraceful paedophile (yes...that's the CORRECT spelling). Do you also make jokes about Jews waiting in line for the gas chamber? Have you no shame or is tactlessness something which runs in your family?

If you read the 'real' DUNKIRK. thread you will see that my unqualified love for the film does not extend to the music. Its called a nuanced opinion

OOOOhhhh! So a previous thread is a REAL thread...oh, sorry! So any new idea which comes along is invalid because it is not REAL compared to an older, similar idea. I get you. Logic seems lacking in your thinking. You should try logic. It might free you from being a forum troll.

I suggest you stop there. You are making yourself look like a total idiot...even more than you already have. You are a vile troll. Find a hole...bury yourself in it. Dick.

I thought I HAD said this, only in fewer words smile

The thing is, I don’t think you can disagree with an artist’s vision. You can like it, not like it, or be indifferent to it, but their vision is what it is. But it may be just semantics, which is what caused the issue in the first place...

I wish you would vanish. I could suggest ways you could make that happen but that would bring me down to your level and I find sewerage most disgusting.

It's easy to offend people sitting at home in front of a keyboard and monitor. Do you find it just as easy to do so in person? I bet not. Do you know the meaning of the word "poltroon"? smile
