At the end of Dunkirk, there are two fade to black  /  cut to black instances:

  1. Farrier's plane on fire, fade to black,
  2. Tommy on the train just finished reading the newspaper, cut to black.

That really confused me as I've never seen that before. Initially I thought it's because the movie is composed of three stories told at once (or just one big story told from different point of views), but if that was right, there should be three fades to black and not just two.

So, why are there two of those? What do they signify?
