Naruto The Last (movie review)

  At last the final movie of the hit manga and anime Naruto arrived last year but I have not seen it till recently. The manga was written and illustrated by Masashi Kishimoto. The manga was created in 1997, but didn't take off till 1999 when Viz media turned it into the anime. I have a very found memory of the series as a child. I remember first seeing the anime on Cartoon Network around 2005. Around that time i was interested in ninjas and fighting like  most 8 year old boys. Ever since then i have been a huge fan of the show.
  The show follows a Young adolescent in search of respect and admiration , but this movie now follows Naruto (the protagonist) for the final time. He is now in his early 20's and is now trying to figure out his feeling for Hinata, The girl who has loved them since the were children but has been to shy to say her feelings to him. That was until she protected him during a battle in which he was unable to fight due to injury. 
  Two years after the Fourth Great Ninja War the moon begins to fall and threatens to collide with Earth. This Crisis is caused by Toneri Otsutsuki who is a decedent from Hinata's Clan. Toneri infiltrates the village and kidnaps Hinata's younger sister Hanabi. After which Naruto, Hinata and three other ninja's are sent to retrieve Hanabi. Traveling to the village that the Otsutsuki Clan Naruto begins to understand the concepts of love while caught in a genjutsu or an imaginary image that can be able to alter reality. Toneri kidnaps Hinata causing Naruto to fall into a deep depression for the loss of his new found love in Hinata.
  After recovering for three days, Sakura (the rescue team's medic and one of Naruto's original teammate's) reassures him that Hinata truly loves him. The spirit of Hamura Informs Hinata that Toneri has misinterpreted his decree. Toneri refuses to acknowledge this and then brainwashes Hinata so she will become his wife. Naruto confronts Toneri and they battle for the fate of Hinata and all of Earth.   
  The story line for this movie is very well done and over all the flow of the movie is good. Character and environment design are breath taking and colorful. the movie seems to be rushed in telling the with big amounts of time missing in the story. other than that i loved the movie and highly suggest any fans of the franchise to watch it. If this is your first time being exposed to the franchise this would not be the first thing you should watch.

Dunkirk (2017)

Christopher Nolan's new upcoming movie Dunkirk looks like it will be amazing based off the teaser trailer and the actual movie trailer that have been released. Christopher Nolan is well known for directing the Dark Knight trilogy and one of my personal favorite movie's Inception.  My all time favorite movies are war movies. Especially movies that are based off true events or similar to what it was like in that time period. After seeing these trailers I was absolutely pumped for this movie. The Battle of Dunkirk took place from the May 26 - June 4 1940 in Dunkirk, France. This battle was the result of  Nazi Germany forcing the Allies to withdraw and regroup in England. While withdrawing from Dunkirk the Allied forces suffered massive casualties. The estimated amount of killed, wounded or captured is between 350,000-360,000. Nazi Germany suffered little loss of life during the battle, only losing around 20,000 troops. This movie looks like it will be narrated from a large scale perspective instead of focusing one individual's perceptive of the battle.
