Dunkirk

Last night I joined the young lads here on a trip to the Big Screen to watch Dunkirk. I was impressed though harrowed. One could hardly fail to be impressed. And if you were not harrowed then you are inhuman. Although it might have helped to have read up about it beforehand as I am slow to join the dots... There is no point in me describing the film - check out the reviews if you will - but I will make reference to the sound track - which was Awesome. I loved Hans Zimmer's rendition of Elgar's Nimrod when the boats finally arrive, a fitting plagiarism for what was so very eminently an English thing. And Zimmer's use of the Shepard Tone - which reminded me of my blog post titled Cathedral sounds.
