"When 400, 000 men couldn't get home, home came for them." I loved that line in the trailers.

Tarantino saw this in a British cinema and found the audience crying at this scene incredibly moving. That second viewing was a whole different experience for him from his first US screening.

[shakkazulu]

“England’s fathers coming to the rescue of England’s sons”. For some reason, the music of that scene coupled with the destroyer blaring out 3 cheers from her horn brings a tear to my eye.

Not sure that we will ever have a time where people possess this type of character again.

[Tyrunner]

What's really cool is that many of those civilian boats had been a part of the actual Dunkirk evacuation. If those boats could talk, reliving their finest moment.

[kimlaes]

I can not imagine what those soldiers felt when they saw those boats approach. I mean; those were ordinary people coming to their rescue. Their fathers and mothers, brothers and sisters and sons and daughters sailing into hell to rescue them.
And then those men on the ships, many of them veterans of the first war, knowing full well what horrors lay ahead of them. And yet, they sailed willingly into hell.
It goes to prove: in the darkest of times you may find the worst of men but you may also find the best of men.

My late grandad was one of those boys rescued from Dunkirk. This scene always brings a lump in my throat and a tear to my eye when I see this. For all those heroes, British, French, and Belgian, who participated in the evacuation, from a later generation, thank you. RIP Grandad, always in my thoughts

[MichaelVereno]

The character of Mr. Dawson, played by Mark Rylance, was based on real-life Charles Lightoller, former second officer on the Titanic. He crossed the channel with his son and a young sea scout. In a boat licensed to carry 21 souls, he brought home 127 men.

[Arbiter]

Anyone else just love the way the Commander just says "home" sounds like he's about to burst into tears out of pure joy

[yannickbaroue]

Big thanks to all the French and Belgian soldiers who sacrified their lives, fighting like lions, to make this rescue possible.

[KingZercules]

The feeling of pride those soldiers must have felt when they saw their own citizens come to rescue them must have been overwhelming. The fact this is true and really happen is incredible.

[stretmediq]

One of the greatest acts of patriotism of any country or any time in history

[mountainman]

The soundtrack transition at 0:50 is one of the most glorious and touching in cinematic history. From complete despair, terror and utter hopelessness to relief, peace and calm, sheer optimism and hope.

[thewestisthebest]

The smallest boat to make the journey was a father and his teenage son who roads across the channel in a row boat

Then the soldiers they picked up rowed then back because they were so exhausted

[harrietharlow]

Let us also remember the over 236 "Little Ships"that never made it home.

[Talwyn]

My Grandfather, on my mother's side, was in Coastal Command, stationed at Hastings in 1940. He went across 8 times during Operation Dynamo. He was straffed and shelled on at least 5 occasions yet came home with many men. I never had the privilege of meeting him as he died of cancer in 1955. Ordinary people doing extraordinary things.

[Bandstand]

incredibly moving. makes you feel good

[Gist]

I'm Norwegian, not British, but this brings tears to my eyes. This whole movie was a masterpiece.

[brysonconstable]

The composition just amazes me: Zimmer used a British classic: Elgar: Nimrod, and modernised it but kept that beautiful and sombre melody to create this tear-jerking scene. That guy doesn't get enough credit for his references and nuance

[marcjones]

Get them home. Get them safe. My Grandfather was one of them.

[jdniels]

If that don't bring tears to your eyes, your not human.
