thinking about Tommy and Gibson, two strangers with nothing in common (they don’t even speak the same language) but the need to survive, about Tommy immediately helping Gibson burying the body and Gibson offering Tommy precious water, about them always sticking together and never considering the possibility of parting ways, about Gibson saving the lives of Tommy and countless others on the ship and Tommy defending Gibson passionately when he has no proof that Gibson isn’t a spy, about Gibson saving the lives of Tommy and everyone else on the Dutch trawler at the cost of his own life, about Tommy likely not noticing Gibson’s absence in the chaos and not noticing until he’s safely on the Moonstone,
Me after remembering that Dunkirk was made in 2017 and there are barely any chances I will ever see Aneurin Barnard talk about it in an interview again even if he was one of the main characters and only got to speak for max 10 minutes about it:
(not my gif, i can't find who did it so if you know who's it is please do tell)
Cannot get over how Gibson from Dunkirk (2017) is just so kind. I don't know if it's the right word, but motherfucker really went out of his way more than once to help others, in a way we don't see anyone else do. And maybe it's because of his guilt or whatever, but he's constantly helping Tommy -helping him hide, opening the ship's door, throwing him a rope to stay afloat- even when others aren't doing it, are saving their own skin first -which is understandable, the movie repeatedly shows us the importance of survival and how saving oneself is so crucial-. So you see men on boats shouting to be taken home, you hear people trapped in a sinking ship begging to get out, and yet even when he's in danger himself -Gibson is still trying to help. I don't even know what I'm trying to argue here, but Gibson makes me so fucking sad, and his attempts at surviving, while also taking care of others, is so... yeah.
Decided to take screenshots of Tommy and Gibson -I'm at my third rewatch of Dunkirk (2017) of the month so might as well do something with that (last time was paying attention to details, before that it was paying attention to the sound, and now it's taking pictures like I'm the mother in Mean Girls)-:
(I'd say click on the images for better quality but I'm afraid I suck at screenshots)
(For those who can't see it's just Tommy and Gibson from Dunkirk being sad and doing crime)
Liking a character that has litteraly no backstory is so fun because i can just... make up stuff. Like yeah, they have six sisters. They're a single child. Their favorite person is their mom. They have a horrible relationship with both of their parents. They ate grass as a kid. They were incredibly picky with food and never put anything but bread in their mouth. Their birthday is in november. They were born in july. They're turning twenty seven in february. You disagree? Canon doesn't. I can just say what I want, and I think that's beautiful.
Dunkirk is literally spending 1 hr 46m trying to keep track of which dark haired white boy is which
