Liverpool Sound and Vision Rating 7/10
The inner struggle is one that bares its teeth readily in the world of art, it is almost as if the exercise of releasing the beast, of finding a way to pour oil on troubled shores, is a purifying, and therapeutic liberation of the soul, that wishing the world to burn whilst holding the only match is an emotional stance in which the pain of existence is intensely shown.

Moments come and go, some are left in the photograph album, untouched, unseen for years, others are loved, their very being able to transport you to a time when perhaps either everything was just how you wanted it to be, or they were painful reminders of what was but ones that now drive you forward, that make sure you have the impetuous to carry you on the next part of your journey and story.

The third act of anyone’s life is the one that perhaps encapsulates the feeling of the rage of the storm, it is a more powerful and distinctive anger than one comes with the recklessness of youth, the injustices of the anger are manifold, the burning of the soul runs deep, it is almost as if the war that is frenzied and attacking on all sides as people wish you would calm down, is relentless and all consuming. It is in this tempest, this frenzy of imagination and indignation, that the work and world of the third act is a powerful beast which is both stunningly beautiful and dramatically succinct in its delivery.

There is no honour amongst thieves, however, there is always truth, infallibility and greed and it always makes for a great story to be retold, examined and pursued; regardless of whether it is steeped in fiction, or the absurdity of truth, the heist film is one of intricate plans and betrayal, and it is one in which King of Thieves is a good quality diamond in which to fall in love with.

Occasionally it is not what the film says at the time but what it can promise for the future which makes it an enjoyable feast to get your teeth into; admittedly cinema goers and film goers would prefer to see this happen on the first attempt, the climax of the film serenading those glued to their seats with a lullaby of further adventures to come, of the tale being even more dynamic, and in some cases, revealing more to the story and the character’s depth.
I love it when you come to visit,
the days stretch before us
of open air and father-son memories,
and whilst we may never stir
and create plans that come to naught,
I know that for a while,
you were close to me
again, breathing in my words,
as I revelled in the quiet
you brought to my mind.

You are always warned to keep away from the first signs of infection, that the Doctor in all their professional wisdom would prescribe isolation, would suggest that the neighbourhood be cleansed, scrubbed down, let the rebellion in the body fight its own battle and wait it out, let the infection subside. In most cases though, the doctor is only hoping, for quite often the feeling of the infectious is dynamic, positive, it is the beautiful rude awakening and rebellious, it is to understand the surge of the dance that you might never have found inhabiting your body before.

It is Hard To Stay Cool when the world abuses your right to tell your story, when all it wants is for the vast majority of the population to keep quiet, dutiful in its silence, and ready to face the criticism of the so called anointed few when you should speak up in defence of another human being, or be outspoken when Government deserves its reckoning. It is hard to stay cool and serene in such moments of anguish and pain, but then the music you create, the art you employ, can speak volumes and be a source of inspiration to others fighting the same silent battle.

The future is a manner of all possibilities perhaps forgotten, the imaginations of some of the greatest minds in literature having spelled out utopia and dystopia in equal measure, the threat of alien incursion, of disease, of technology gone awry a finer spark on the human soul it seems than the chance of peace and harmony across the world and the Universe beyond. Utopia is a cradle in which boredom festers, the human mind finds ways to look upon this sanitised creation and knows that it is an unrealistic venture, better to try and create a space in the disarray and confusion, the one bright spot in a world of darkness; it is after all why films such as Blade Runner, The Terminator, 2001 A Space Odyssey and Alien sell more than the idea of overall tranquillity.
