Thank you so much for reading my post.
Love the post! Upvoted you!
I've always been a fan of Christopher Nolan and the films he put together. I believe he made Batman more bad ass than he originally had been. So, I'm always down to see one of his films. I didn't realize Harry Styles was in this movie. That sounds pretty interesting. I'm definitely gonna put this one at the top of my list of movies to watch!
The valuable and precious original WWII fighter planes used and flying in this movie were not destroyed! For the crashing and destruction scenes they used remote controlled model aircraft, props and CGI. Get Your facts correct!
Keeping the last still existing airworthy WWII airplanes in flying condition requires a LOT of money and a lot of (volunteer) work, so their owners and a very dedicated warbirds community would never allow to crash a real one for a movie!
Really?, gosh!, thank you for correct my post! followed you!
