This is our Oscar Sprint Profile for Christopher Nolan’s Dunkirk, starring Tom Hardy, Mark Rylance, every other working Anglo actor, plus some guy named Harry Styles. We remind you of Han Zimmer’s brilliance, and we harken back to our Summer Movie Round Up of Mike, Mike, and Oscar episode #1 in the most metta way possible. We otherwise break new ground in this production profile, and we dive way deeper than we’ve ever dove before, the helm’s deepest of our deep dives if you will. Wait, you won’t? That was the nerdiest thing anyone has ever written? I apologize to no one.

Our production profile offers miniature biographies of Christopher Nolan and Emma Thomas, Fionn Whitehead (who becomes the bane of the Mikes existence for this week), Tom Hardy, and Mark Rylance. We cover the award season odyssey of the film from it’s #1 contendership to its current place amongst a large field of potential trophy winners.

The non-spoiler review section features our coverage of each of the production values, including the tick-tock from the family heirloom timepiece in the Hans Zimmer score, the eye popping cinematography, and we can’t help but admire the death trap laden script. Then we gush over the quality over quantity factor in those epically economical performances.

Our spoiler music gets your fist pumpin’ like a guido in the club at 3AM, bro. Then we hit on the Harry Styles role, our best & worst scenes, and the Kenneth Branagh lines that nearly ruined the movie. We add another profile, which covers the real history of the evacuation of Dunkirk. We have all kinds of real life stats, a true story that needed telling if there ever was one. Then we end with our final grades.
