can you talk about the structure of the
movie? The one day one week one hour
thing is fascinating and really doesn't
sort of...I mean as an audience member I
didn't sort of click into it until later
in the movie can you talk about that
decision and what sort of went into that?
I wanted to tell a story that felt intensely subjective it felt like you were there that you were going through it with
the characters but you got to understand the
larger events you need the audience get the
sense of the movement of these things and so
you've got to tell the story from
different points of view and the sense
of time that we get watching the film
it's going to be very different for a guy or
set up guys who are on the beach for a
week with horrible adrenaline at times
and then boredom at times, this long time scale
versus you know a Spitfire pilot
who's got only an hours flying time in
combat you know above the beach so that
hour is going to feel monumental that
that pilot so I wanted to braid together
these different points of view so that
you're always getting a subjective
experience of these events but you're
building up a more coherent picture of
the events by combining these different points of view
