One of the main themes I got out of the movie was how a whole country perceived the existential threat to them and pulled together towards a common goal. It’s a lesson we could use in this country in 2017.

Yes, I felt that too. Gave me goose bumps to see the shot of all of the “Little Ships of Dunkirk” headed toward the shore.

I was in error on two points.

The small boat “Moonstone”, the “star” of the “One Day” part of the film, was not substituted by a stand-in boat. All scenes in that story were filmed on or with that particular boat.

The boat was not filmed in a tank at any time: however, some scenes were filmed on the waters of the IJsselmeer, in the Netherlands, rather than in the English Channel.
