The much-anticipated movie “Dunkirk” opens this weekend in theaters.
USA Today contributor and Social Justice Warrior Brian Truitt blasted the movie this week for not including women and actors of color — in the Dunkirk battle story!
That’s how insane the left has become!
The Daily Wire reported:
USA Today’s Brian Truitt describes himself as a “shameless geek,” but oddly enough omits the fact that he is also just as shamelessly ignorant when it comes to the signaling of his own CorrectThink virtue.
In his review of Dunkirk, director Christopher Nolan’s big-budget look (opening this weekend) at an actual historical event that took place in the early days of World War II, Truitt offers potential ticket-buyers the following trigger warning:
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.

As verboten as Charlie Chan and Uncle Remus.
I’m still in there for multicultural, transvestite, learning and physically disabled, deaf midgets from the ghetto.
“Waterloo”
One of my favorite movies along with the Russian version of WAR AND PEACE.
On the other hand, because it was a rout, it hasn’t been re-enacted in the movies very much, and it really was an astounding reaction by the English private boating community so why not make a movie about it.
There are women and actors of “color” there. It’s just that in the one case they’re “transgendered men” and in the other they’re blacks “identifying” as white. There, problem solved.
They need to make a historical movie about this battle:

Only make all the British soldiers non-white
and cast the Zulus with nothing but white actors...
You know... for... DIVERSITY!
In ever go to the movies... Saw, ‘Master and Commander’ the last time I went.
I would like to see Dunkirk though
The French Army also had black and Muslim troops. The colonial troops from French Morocco, Tunisia, or Algeria would have been Arab or Berber Muslims. The colonial troops from French Niger would have been black and may have been Muslim. I do not know if any of these colonial units served with the French Army at Dunkirk.
Because there’s always a new generation of young skulls full o’ mush to indoctrinate.
I wanted to see the free state of jones. I don’t know if it’s any good or not.
How about a movie with some black plantation owners and some white slaves?
They begin with the premise that Hollywood's role is to advance Socialism though the practice of cultural Marxism. Making women and minorities fell better about themselves is a part of that effort. Telling stories about dead white males acting heroically most definitely is not - it might give the proletariat dangerous counterrevolutionary ideas.
So yes, from the point of view of those pushing The Agenda, Dunkirk is not a story that should be told at all.
Truth doesn’t matter to the PC crowd. To please them you have to rewrite history and have Winston Churchill played by Rosie O’Donnell (she looks like him, after all), Erich von Manstein would be played by rapper Dr. Dre, and the British General Staff would be portrayed by a gaggle of gay and lesbian Native American midgets.
Oh come on. Any serious screenplay writer has learned to rewrite history. I'm sure they could have worked a woman RAF pilot or RN warship commander into the script. Maybe they could have even worked GI Jane into it.
Also, OJ is now available
Kind of like the lefty loons that wanted a mixed ethic 9-11 memorial statue, as opposed to the original White males that hoisted the flag: http://www.nydailynews.com/archives/news/fdny-cancels-9-11-statue-commish-rethink-memorial-flap-race-article-1.490403

No Maoris or gauchos in Dunkirk either, I’m pissed.
Dunkirk , Robert Nathan
WILL came back from school that day,
And he had little to say.
To where the gray-green Channel water
Slapped at the foot of the little town,
And to where his boat, the Sarah P,
Bobbed at the tide on an even keel,
With her one old sail, patched at the leech,
Furled like a slattern down at heel.
He stood for a while above the beach,
He saw how the wind and current caught her;
He looked a long time out to sea.
There was steady wind, and the sky was pale,
And a haze in the east that looked like smoke.
But he stood a long time looking down
Will went back to the house to dress.
He was half way through, when his sister Bess
Who was near fourteen, and younger than he
By just two years, came home from play.
She asked him, “Where are you going, Will?”
He said, “For a good long sail.”
“Can I come along?”
“No, Bess,” he spoke.
“I may be gone for a night and a day.”
Bess looked at him. She kept very still.
She had heard the news of the Flanders rout,
How the English were trapped above Dunkirk,
And the fleet had gone to get them out—
But everyone thought that it wouldn’t work.
There was too much fear, there was too much doubt.
She looked at him, and he looked at her.
They were English children, born and bred.
He frowned her down, but she wouldn’t stir.
She shook her proud young head.
“You’ll need a crew,” she said.
They raised the sail on the Sarah P,
Like a penoncel on a young knight’s lance,
And headed the Sarah out to sea,
To bring their soldiers home from France.
There was no command, there was no set plan,
But six hundred boats went out with them
On the gray-green waters, sailing fast,
River excursion and fisherman,
Tug and schooner and racing M,
And the little boats came following last.
From every harbor and town they went
Who had sailed their craft in the sun and rain,
From the South Downs, from the cliffs of Kent,
From the village street, from the country lane.
There are twenty miles of rolling sea
From coast to coast, by the seagull’s flight,
But the tides were fair and the wind was free,
And they raised Dunkirk by the fall of night.
They raised Dunkirk with its harbor torn
By the blasted stern and the sunken prow;
They had raced for fun on an English tide,
They were English children bred and born,
And whether they lived, or whether they died,
They raced for England now.
Bess was as white as the Sarah’s sail,
She set her teeth and smiled at Will.
He held his course for the smoky veil
Where the harbor narrowed thin and long.
The British ships were firing strong.
He took the Sarah into his hands,
He drove her in through fire and death
To the wet men waiting on the sands.
He got his load and he got his breath,
And she came about, and the wind fought her.
He shut his eyes and he tried to pray.
He saw his England where she lay,
The wind’s green home, the sea’s proud daughter,
Still in the moonlight, dreaming deep,
The English cliffs and the English loam-
He had fourteen men to get away,
And the moon was clear, and the night like day
For planes to see where the white sails creep
Over the black water.
He closed his eyes and he prayed for her;
He prayed to the men who had made her great,
Who had built her land of forest and park,
Who had made the seas an English lake;
He prayed for a fog to bring the dark;
He prayed to get home for England’s sake.
And the fog came down on the rolling sea,
And covered the ships with English mist.
The diving planes were baffled and blind.
For Nelson was there in the Victory,
With his one good eye, and his sullen twist,
And guns were out on The Golden Hind,
Their shot flashed over the Sarah P.
He could hear them cheer as he came about.
By burning wharves, by battered slips,
Galleon, frigate, and brigantine,
The old dead Captains fought their ships,
And the great dead Admirals led the line.
It was England’s night, it was England’s sea.
The fog rolled over the harbor key.
Bess held to the stays, and conned him out.
And all through the dark, while the Sarah’s wake
Hissed behind him, and vanished in foam,
There at his side sat Francis Drake,
And held him true, and steered him home.
Many of the British actors in war movies during the 1950/60s had been in the military or at least lived in the time so they knew how it was...
they are so natural...
same with all the Hollywood actors who signed up to serve...
If you watch that Pearl Harbor movie its so faky...
Younger people don’t know what war is...
other than American Sniper, I have avoided the movies about Iraq and Afghanistan...
George Clooney doesn’t have a clue...
