Silver Screen in 2017 {Dunkirk}

Not long ago I waged a war on war films, I said enough was enough, I was done and Anzac Day here in Australia went into war overload. In our current times war films are scary cause shit could get real, real fast. With two dictators in a penis size contest across the Pacific Ocean, there is every chance we may be looking at another war.

Ok to fiction not the news, Dunkirk, the film that everyone is losing their minds over. And for a 3:30pm session, close to a month into it's cinema run, my session was PACKED. That is a sensational sign.

It was a cold windy as fuck day but still, movies that:

1. Last for four weeks at the cinema, miracle in 2017
2. Have more than a handful of people in a session
3. Attract all age groups, natio's and the main good sign, (almost) no-one (except one younger girl near me) had their phones on during the 106 minute film.



Christopher Nolan is a legend, get that straight from the get go, the 47 year old is outstanding. His Dark Knight trilogy was beyond brilliant and now he takes on the Second World War.

Surprisingly Harry Styles continues One Direction domination in 2017 with a semi major role in this feature film. A feature film unlike One Direction lacking dialogue. Let's quickly look at One Direction in 2017:

ZAYN - Still riding the success of his debut album, critically and commercially. One D always had commercial success but critical acclaim, this is a first. He also released a non album single with PartyNextDoor and late last year collaborated with M.I.A and Snakehips.

NIALL - His solo single has sold 140,000 copies in Australia, giving us all Slow Hands, whilst reaching the top 5 in more than 8 countries.

LIAM - Has kept it in the X Factor family having a child with Cheryl and Stripping it Down with rapper of the moment Quavo. His latest single is an up tempo number with producer Zedd. Like Niall Strip it Down has sold over 140,000 copies in Australia.

HARRY - Most probably having the best 2017, along with his first "actual" movie role (excluding the 1D films) his album went top 10 in more than 9 countries, Sign of Times the debut solo single went to number one in Australia and the UK. Harry is currently unstoppable.

LOUIS - Did a monster effort at the X Factor GF last year days after his mother passed. His work with Steve Aoki is a new turn with 1D going electro. Louis could be the dark horse of the group when his solo record lands.

So alongside Harry, regular Christopher Nolan stars lined up like Tom Hardy (AKA Bane) & Cillian Murphy (Scarecrow).

Dunkirk is a monster success and rightfully so, it's definitely one to see on the big screen, 4.25 Stars.
