USA Today Complains About Lack of ‘Women’ and ‘No Lead Actors of Color’ in Movie ‘Dunkirk’
And more.

That’s because USA Today, the bird cage liner, is attempting to rewrite history through its own demented politically correct lenses.
Dunkirk isn’t a showpiece for leftist politically correct twaddle.
In short, USA Today deserves to be jeered to the rafters of the movie theatre, for
demonstrating convincingly that they are historically ignorant twats.

Surprised no one pointed out the lack of transgender representation too.
Particularly in the Wehrmacht.
completely unsurprising.
cue the thought police. sign of the times, sign of the times.
Interesting –
“The trio of timelines can be jarring as you figure out how they all fit, and the fact that there are only a couple of women and no lead actors of color may rub some the wrong way.”
“may rub some the wrong way”
Thinking this is a bit overblown folks. The writer is not critiquing the fact that it is historically correct, but critiquing the fact that “others” will find the lack of diversity a problem.
He actually is calling these weirdos out.
Not overblown at all…why even inject the politically correct twaddle into one’s review?
Why should every movie/entertainment vehicle give a nod to every jumped up whacked out cause on the planet, merely to satisfy the leftist drivel of presenting the monolith. Their first and foremost reason is keep impressionable minds from wandering off the politically correct plantation.
If one is that desperate to ‘talk up the cause’; you’re lost already.

There was a movie about cracking the German code. The hero was Prof Alan Turing.
He was chosen not for his mathematical ability but because he was homosexual.
The true hero of code-breaking was the brilliant Swedish mathematician Arne Beurling. He managed to do so without a computer — merely paper and pencil.
He doesn’t get kudos. Turing does. (Homosexuality has its perqs.)
The review reminds me of a review of “Battle of Britain” when it was released in 1969. The critic (for the Winnipeg Free Press I believe) lamented the fact that the movie was in colour when everything was black & white in 1940! It’s easy to be a movie critic when there are no professional criteria…
Huh?
Weren’t Betty Grable and Rita Hayworth used as decoys on the Dunkirk beach to distract the Krauts? ( Is that racissssssss?)
Go figure, now that would be a movie!
And just IMAGINE the outcry had the Director included a historically-accurate depiction of women tearing strips of cotton into bandages, or taking the children to a country home away from the bombing targets … serving their children hot chocolate and reading them stories from classic English literature.
Imagine the outcry !
Best to completely ignore the women, rather than show them doing womanly things.
Historical accuracy could be considered “diversity” these days as one would expect Gays, Blacks, (harmless and oppressed) Muslims and Transgenders to be liberally sprinkled throughout every other creation of Hollywood. This movie just might be worth viewing.
Millenials might actually think that Inglorious Basterds was a true account of the war……..
If you rely on holliwood for historical accuracy….you might be a liberal.
Hollywood is a place of facile image. The original fakers. They are in the entertainment industry – nothing more.
If you want history you need to do your own research.
I did watch “Dunkirk”. I strongly recommend everyone do so.
Moving on …
First of all, Christopher Nolan is a fine director. He owes the social justice crowd a big fat nothing.
Secondly, he made efforts to be as accurate as possible. Though nurses and a few African soldiers fighting for the French DO appear, so do Britons as it was the BRITISH EXPEDITIONARY FORCES who were stranded on Dunkirk.
Thirdly, it was an ensemble cast and there were myriad perspectives and stories to tell. To say that there was a central character (and therefore a central experience) is to stretch things a bit.
Finally, the film isn’t about filling in templates. It’s about Dunkirk.
F— off, SJWs is what I am trying to say.
The war was not politically correct. So there weren’t any transsexuals,feminist, BLM or resisters there. I don’t doubt there were some gays but they didn’t advertise that but carried a rifle instead.
Hollywood has been fabricating a deliberately, excessively, over-the-top, VIOLENT depiction of WAR for some time now. Hollywood, which routinely condemns the “gratuitous violence” in a HEROIC tale such as Rambo … yet glorifies it in Saving Private Ryan. Hollywood executives Leftists LOVE violence … when it serves their political ends. Yeah, WAR is hell … but it is mostly boredom.
Which makes me wonder WHY Hollywood hasn’t filmed a REALISTIC depiction of “urban” violence. Chicago’s “urban” WARFARE. Where are the films depicting the HORRORS of living in Chicago ? Where are the slow-motion shots of a little girl’s head exploding while sleeping in her bedroom as a drive-by shooting strafes her apartment ? Where are the scenes of utter chaos and terror as YOUNG Americans are slaughtered in the streets ? There is an ongoing WAR in the urban underclass neighborhoods. Where is the depiction of THAT WAR ?
Instead … we get “Bowling for Combine” … and gotcha interviews with Charlton Heston …
“Not overblown at all…why even inject the politically correct twaddle into one’s review?”
Exactly, and comment well said.
The public dialogue (as reflected in MSM) has been monopolized by chronic insanity. Anyone who views the abomination of historic events as a platform for identity politics is functionally insane and a menace to society – most media have become a voice for bedlam.
My father was captured at Dunkirk and spent the rest of the war in Stalag VIIIB in Poland. I was hoping that there will be some reference to the captured British in this film. Every documentary, story or article I ever see talks about the glorious escape but glosses over the thousands of British soldiers left behind.
USA Today’s, Brian Truitt is likely the same type of Leftist historical revisionist, who wouldn’t think of fighting for his country while at the same time criticizing those that do and did.
He and his ilk are an embarrassment.
The critic has a point. When approached with this in casual conversation, I intend to reply “Where’s the black lesbian Hitler? Why are the villains of WWII always portrayed as white or Japanese men?”
To be fair (though USA Today is still a rag), a number of companies from the Royal Indian Army were evacuated alongside the BEF at Dunkirk: dunkirk1940.org/index.php?&p=1_412.
Yeah, it’s a sad state of affairs,but there probably are thousands out there who DO believe “Inglorious Basterds” was a factual account.
Remember the good old days,1967 when some sh!thead inserted Jim Brown into the cast of “The Dirty Dozen”,thereby totally destroying any credibility the movie may have had?
If Truitt and his progressives are so disconcerted by this movie,they should remake it with a truly diverse cast. I’d love to see Denzel Washington as Fedor Von Bock and Ellen DeGeneres as General Maurice Gamelin.
* “when everything was black & white in 1940!”
my son, when he was three, had the same idea.
after looking at old family photographs he asked
us about living in the world when it was all
black & white.
*
When Finland was attacked by a numerically superior force the Finns picked up their weapons and fought back. When France was attacked by a numerically inferior force the BEF threw away their weapons and ran away — creating a world record as per The Guiness Book of World Records.
Same story in Malaya/Singapore. The British surrendered to a numerically inferior force that moved on bicycles.
Of course they did … but the vast majority of women simply took care of the homeland and her children. THAT can NEVER be depicted as a “worthy” task deserving of praise. We love our revisionist history don’t we ?
I would love to see a film that depicts women of WAR simply nurturing and protecting children. A WAR task as important as “businessmen” and “workers” making $$$$ and paying taxes to support the WAR. All just as important as making bullets.
The Dirty Dozen had no credibility with or without Jim Brown. On the other hand, Brown did improve the movie.
I’d accept a muslim as Hitler.
Maybe a group of French black rappers dedicated to bustin’ a rhyme on Hitlers dime, popping a cap in the ass of that wounded German in the grass. As long as there is no cursive stuff.
True. Perhaps there should be a movie with some of the Muslim SS divisions from Yugoslavia in it.!
The looney left always tries to twist history. You can see it in Canada with the Liberals howling that Canada’s history is “peacekeeping”. BS. It wasn’t making peace during WWI, WWII, the Korean War. The Liberals would rather Canadians don’t know that. It is why they push back on the building of war memorials. In a generation, Canadians won’t even know about Vimy Ridge, etc.
I’m surprised he didn’t complain their were no Soviet Russians in Dunkirk.
Oh wait, the Soviwt Russians were Allies with the Germans at that time.
No doubt they were too busy carving up Eastern Poland back then to take part directly. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=D2A4hyoOrlU
Sikhs I imagine would have been represented.
The Grand Mufti of Jerusalem!He visited Berlin during the war and supposedly chided Hitler for not killing Jews fact enough.
Good Point and one very few are aware of….Muslim participation in the holocaust, you know, the MUfti of Jerusalem being a good ole buddy of Adolf Eichman and all…Visiting Hitler in Nov of 1941 and spending a good deal of time viewing/learning how the Nazis were working the “jewish” problem….seems much of that is still in play world wide.
Vermin that should be literally eradicated….oh.? this is about Dunkirk you say….my deepest apologies…sorta.
Defintely gonna have to see this flick…
Oh dear! The Grand Mufti of Jerusalem! He visited Berlin during the war and supposedly chided Hitler for not killing Jews fast enough.
The Indian Army wasn’t Royal. Neither was/is the British Army.
The displays at the War Museum in Ottawa begin with the line, “Canada was formed by 5000 years of war.” or close to it. Thank you Jack Granatstein for that admirably clear statement.
Until this controversy arose, I had not been aware that four transport companies of the Indian Army were on the beaches of Dunkirk. Apparently these soldiers originated from modern-day Pakistan, but that does not mean they were Muslim, as the partition had not happened and both Muslim and Hindu resided there. They ended up in France after Britain decided they still needed animal transport capability. BTW, Tooner, the reference I am seeing is to the Royal Indian Army; just as we had in Canada the Royal Canadian Airforce, the Royal Canadian Navy, etc. There were four Indian Army transport companies – 25 29, 32, and 22. Members of the first three companies were evacuated, though their animals were not, but the 22 company, which ended up further behind the lines, was captured and most of the men died in captivity.
Were they Sikh? Depends on which part of “Pakistan” they came from. Did they wear turbans? Would have to see old photos of the companies to know. They certainly should have been recognized in this film, but I do recall a Time/Life special on the 50th anniversary of either D-day or the end of WW II in which every country – allied or axis – was mentioned except Canada.
Neither was/is the British Army.
The story I heard was that it was because the Army rebelled against the Crown during the English Civil War.
No, Beurling cracked the Geheimfernschreiber, a different code system. Turing worked on the Enigma cypher system, in particular the difficult naval version.
Turing was a brilliant man, whose work on undecidability (The Turing Theorem) is fundamental to computational science. His homosexuality didn’t emerge until he was caught by police.
Re: Inglorious Bastards, the movie.
There was a documentary on the History Channel (Cdn) about two weeks ago. The title was ”The Real Inglorious Bastards.” http://www.realinglorious.com/about
The title “Royal” was given to the Navy entire but the Army comprises many regiments and corps some of which have been awarded the distinction and some not, some several centuries old some less than one, but all very jealously preserve their separate histories and the honours they have earned. E.g. the air force is the Royal Air Force because when it was formed as a separate service after WWI by combining aviation elements from the Army and the Royal Navy it inherited the Royal designation from the Army’s Royal Flying Corps which was only a few years old. My regiment was a Royal regiment (though it didn’t include it in its title) formed in 1968 by amalgamating four regiments of which three were Royal, and they all had lineage going back centuries (1572 for the oldest.)
Heck, they should have just made all the Nazis into gay, black, female Muslims. Everyone happy!
What, and they didn’t up the historical accuracy by winding up the movie with a Bollywood number?
Tragically, many Americans who should know better have bought this propaganda. Our cruise ship stopped in Victoria, and a friend otherwise sensible but a bit too much of PBS/NPR watcher was laughing (quietly) at a memorial to World War I Canadian soldiers. I had to remind him that the Canadian military has a long and proud tradition of courageous combat.
“I do recall a Time/Life special on the 50th anniversary of either D-day or the end of WW II in which every country – allied or axis – was mentioned except Canada.” Sorry about that. Canada doesn’t get the attention or respect it deserves from our media elites, except when they expect to lose a Presidential election. Canada has stood by us in Afghanistan and currently in Iraq. For that, you have our enthusiastic appreciation.
the late Stephen ambrose wrote a book about D-day and as I recall devoted a couple pages to the Cdn success in advancing inland farther and faster that the brits or the yanks that day. http://www.simonandschuster.com/books/D-Day/Stephen-E-Ambrose/9780684801377
anyway, I named my late black lab Juno in recognition of this historic FACT. it was payback for Dieppe.
jeezuz jeezuz jeezuz. why why why to Lieberals in this wonderful nation consistently undercut and hobble our resoundingly successful military? hmmm?
