and
the
legend

is
something
that
British
people
grow
up
with
-
it's
in
our
DNA,
I
wanted
to
tell
the

visceral
way
possible,
I
wanted
to
take
that
audience
and
put
them
on
that
beach,"

in
a
statement.
"The
idea
of
taking
this
paradoxical
situation
and
putting
it
on
the
big
screen
-
it's
something
that's
been
close
to
my
heart
for
some
time,
it's
something
I
didn't
think
I
was
ready
to
do."

director
added
further.
