Do you think Saving Private Ryan could have been
saved if it had cut out a lot of the character building moments or the contrived scenes meant to convey the horrors of war (like the dog tag/poker chip scene)? I think a lot of Dunkirk's charm is that it didn't have that much in the way of character building and so the soldiers were allowed to be just random people in uniforms getting shot at, which is a lot less contrived than a movie that spends ten minutes in a church talking about random bull**** that just makes the movie drag on.
