Toward the end of this movie, composer Hans Zimmer wrote a drawn out, extended version of Edward Elgar's "Nimrod" of the "Enigma Variations". Elgar is an English composer who had composed the well-known "Pomp and Circumstance" theme song that is used during graduation ceremonies. The Nimrod is meant to musically express a tremendous victory over an unspeakable tragedy, which is fitting for this movie, since Dunkirk was a disaster, and yet its strategic retreat would turn the tide of World War II. Elgar's piece was also chosen by the New York Philharmonic Orchestra shortly after the September 11, 2001 attacks.
