“We shall never surrender!”
— Winston Churchill, June 4th 1940

FAVOURITE FILMS OF THE DECADE

Men my age dictate this war. Why should we be allowed to send our children to fight it?

Dunkirk (2017) dir. Christopher Nolan

It’s a privilege [to work with Chris Nolan] and you can never sort of predict what sort of film he’s going to make next or what is going to happen, but if he makes the call I will happily jump in. The thing about re-collaboration is that it is about going straight to the work and having a shorthand and a level of trust and that is what I have with Chris and I hope he has with me. We know instinctively where to go with each other, and we found it very quickly and it’s always a privilege to work with him. Cillian Murphy on working with Christopher Nolan.

If this island or a large part of it were subjugated and starving then our empire beyond the seas, armed and guarded by the British fleet, would carry on the struggle, until, in God’s good time the New World, with all its power and might, steps forth to the rescue and the liberation of the old.

“Seeing home doesn’t help us get there, Captain.”

We shall go on to the end. We shall fight in France, we shall fight on the seas and oceans, we shall fight with growing confidence and growing strength in the air. We shall defend our island, whatever the cost may be.

Dunkirk (2017) Dir: Chris Nolan

They’ve asked for the Moonstone, they’ll have her. And her captain. And his son.
