Bill's Film Reviews Dunkirk Dunkirkis a 'war film directed by Christopher Nolan, set in World War II during a particularly difficult battle and rescue mission. Nolan has used a lot of actors and "e____to make this a story about many different people, so there. isn’t one *s____here, That being said, my favourite performance is definitely ‘Tom Hardy's, as a pilot who doesn’t give up even when his plane has crashed. It's a very exciting film, scary at times and definitely violent, so | wouldn't recommend it for all ages. The 's_ composed by Hans Zimmer, is really intense, and Zimmer has done an amazing job of making the music the perfect background for all the different stories. | will say that having so many characters made the ‘pl very complicated, and that made Dunkirk very difficult to follow. All in all, | enjoyed Dunkirk and | would definitely recommend it!! a TA) Wonder Woman I'd been looking forward to Wonder Woman since I saw the *t________ earlier this year. It didn’t disappoint me! One of the big problems with an a__ f____ is that normally there are a lot of "s__e_____ and all the digital stuff can make films look a bit silly and unreal In this case, however, ‘the °sc_____ is so well written that even the explosions and the superhero ‘costumes didn’t annoy me. Gal Gadot plays Diana (they never call her Wonder. Woman), a heroine who leaves her perfect island to help humans during World ‘War II. Here, Wonder Woman becomes more of a historical film and Diana finds the way men teat her very strange. This ereates a lot of funny moments; my favourite Mees one in which Diana complains about long skirts being really OPE impractical to fight in! Diana tries to be both strong and kind, as she and her friends ve search for Ares, the God of War. The film studio has confirmed that there will be a to Wonder Woman and I can't wait to see it!
