Dunkirk Movie Review

I just got back from Dunkirk, which I watched with a friend. I have to say that this Film has almost left me speechless, so that is why I'm writing my thoughts of this Film down.
From the very start my heart was pounding, and my heart kept on pounding until the credits of this gorgeous Film.
At some moments I started to tear up a bit because of how impactful this Film can make you feel. From the very start you are thrown in to the Events of Dunkirk.
This Film is not about following a specific character arch from start to finish, no, it is about an event and what happened to the people in that event.
Each and every actor gave their best in this Film, from what I saw. They really became the characters that they were portraying.
The music score was produced by Hans Zimmer. It is a masterpiece of sound that fills the ears with the tension of the scenes and the anticipation of what is happening and what is to become of the men at Dunkirk.
Writer and Director Christopher Nolan did such an amazing job with this Film that I'm going to say it probably is the best picture of his career so far.
The dramatic colors of blue and orange, are blended perfectly in this Film, and all the other colors bring it full front, to let you know that this is happening.
There is a level of Heroism given by the British in the tragic event that took place, that makes you completely invested into what you are seeing.
A minor spoiler for the Film that I noticed is that you do not see the face of one German until the Film is about to wrap up.
This is a beautiful piece of art that deserves to be appreciated by those whom receive the pleasure of experiencing this masterpiece of art.
In some way I almost feel honored to have watched this Film, because any student of Film will want study this with great anticipation.
When award season comes up, this Film, this masterpiece of art has earned it's spot as best picture. I can't wait to buy this Film when it comes out on DVD.


final score: 5/5

The Batman Movie Review

The Batman Movie Review A Solid Noir Film I went and saw The Batman the other day with one of my buddies and I must say, we really enjoyed it. Granted I don't think this movie is for everyone. The Batman follows Batman (Robert Pattinson) during his second year of crime fighting. When the mayor of Gotham is killed by The Riddler (Paul Dano), it is up to Batman with the help of James Gordon (Jeffery Wright), and Selina Kyle (Zoƫ Kravitz) to stop him. From a visual point of view, The Batman is gorgeous. Every frame is a painting. The acting is solid, the plot is solid. The musical score is outstanding. I personally loved the film, but there are some things in it that could off-set some Batman fans. I typically get into the acting first, but like you've probably already heard many reviewers say before, the city is a character in this film. Gotham feels real, grounded, and certainly not a place you'd want to visit. Corruption and crime run rampant at every level of society. The ...
