Dunkirk 2017

7.46

Maj 1940, druga svetovna vojna. Nacisti so zaokrožili francosko pristaniško mesto Dunkirk (Dunkerque), z letaki tamkajšnjim prebivalcem in vojakom napovedujejo njihov na videz brezupen položaj. Zaradi sovražne vojske na eni strani in morja na drugi strani, se zdi, kot da ni možnosti za preživetje. Toda v Veliki Britaniji pripravljajo drzno reševalno akcijo, v uspeh katere sprva verjame zelo malo posameznikov. Kljub temu pa se nekaj pogumnih moških poda v boj, da bi rešili svoje tovariše. Na plažah pred Dunkirkom namreč 400.000 mož čaka na njihovo pomoč. Christopher Nolan je film režiral po lastnem scenariju in ga tudi produciral skupaj z Emmo Thomas. Izvršni producent je Jake Myers.

Posebnost filma je, da je posnet v enem neprekinjenem posnetku, kar gledalcu da občutek, da se vedno nahaja v sredi vojnega območja, nad njim pa so navdušeni ne samo kritiki in poznavalci temveč tudi vsi gledalci zgodnjih posebnih projekcij po svetu. Leta 1917, ob vrhuncu Velike vojne, ko nobena stran ne popušča in je lahko vsak preboj skozi bojno linijo usoden za zmago ali poraz enega najbolj krvavih konfliktov 20. stoletja. Dva Britanska vojaka, Schofield in Blake dobita na pogled nemogočo nalogo. V bitki s časom morata prečkati sovražni teritorij in prenesti sporočilo, ki bo ustavilo napad, ki bi pomenil smrt 1600 vojakov, med njimi tudi brata vojaka Blakea. Prvo kar opazimo je, kako mlada sta vojaka, komaj iz fantovskih let. To sicer velja za večino vojnih filmov, a v 1. svetovni vojni je bilo še bolj izrazito. Življenja mladih fantov niso veliko štela in na sto tisoče jih je končalo pod rafali strojnic in topovskimi granatami krvavih front.

Zgodovinski spektakel Lawrence Arabski je za številne eden najboljših filmov vseh časov. V zadnji anketi uglednega britanskega filmskega časopisa Sight and Sound je bil izbran za četrtega najboljšega vseh časov po izboru anketiranih režiserjev. Leta 1967 je osvojil sedem oskarjev, med drugimi za najboljši film in režijo. Kontroverzni vojak in pustolovec T. E. Lawrence med vožnjo z motorjem umre. Po pogrebu se med prisotnimi odpre razprava o pokojniku. Njegovo ključno obdobje je bilo obdobje prve svetovne vojne. V tem času je bil poročnik britanske vojske v Kairu. Znan je bil kot ljubitelj arabske kulture in svojeglav ter neposlušen častnik. Kljub temu je bil zaradi poznavanja arabskega sveta poslan na misijo, da bi preiskal možnosti arabskega princa Faisala v uporu proti Turkom. Lawrence, izjemno šarmanten in iznajdljiv človek, je postal pomemben udeleženec v dogajanjih, ki so spremenila svet.

Januarja 1879 so Britanci napovedali vojno zoper zulujska plemena v Južni Afriki, v pričakovanju, da njihova dobro oborožena in izurjena armada ne bo imela težkega dela. Garnizija 1350 britanskih vojakov se je pod hribovjem Isandlwana spopadla z več kot 4000 zulujskimi vojščaki in ti so pregazili ter močno zdesetkali Angleže. Po zmagi nad Britanci so se Zulujci odpravili po njihovih sledeh do majhnega misijona Rorke's Drift, ki je služil kot oskrbovalna postaja in ga je stražilo še kakšnih 150 vojakov. V enem dnevu in noči, v sredo 22. januarja 1879 ter še naslednje jutro, je v zaporednih napadih Zulujcev potekalo obleganje majhne postojanke, vendar napadalcem ni uspelo vdreti vanjo in so se naposled umaknili.

Sharpe's Challenge is a two-part adventure; part one premiered on ITV on 23 April 2006, with part two being shown the following night. With more gore than earlier episodes, the show was broadcast by BBC America in September 2006.

Great SAS Missions

Great SAS Missions 2004

Over the past 60 years Britain's Special Air Service regiment has carried out a wide variety of clandestine missions - from deep-penetration raiding to hostage release operations - which have made it respected and feared for its professionalism and daring. The SAS prides itself on doing its work in the shadows, never allowing any publicity and never claiming credit for any of its extraordinary achievements. But, over the years, sufficient information has emerged for a picture of the regiment's exploits to be clear. This series uses interviews with former members of the SAS; detailed and painstaking reconstructions; and cutting edge 3-D graphics to recreate seven great missions which show why the SAS is today regarded as the world's leading special forces unit.
