History has for so long been built up from the position of what certain events have meant to people of a certain social standing, any disaster that occurs, there is a story to be told, however far too often the narrative is delivered in a way that the aspirations of script writers, directors and audiences identify with the idea of the more heroic, the more film friendly perspective which does not allow for any type of an underclass to be shown as anything other than shifty, untrustworthy, and taking advantage of the situation for their own good.

We meet people for a specific reason, we might not change their lives, but we might give them hope, courage and perhaps the understanding they have been missing from a family member who no longer talks to them; despite that person’s best efforts.

The computer game adaptation for cinema is not likely to ever disappear back into the hyperbole from which it was hatched, the dragon which laid the egg to which film embraced as a way of bringing the gaming community back to the realm of the big screen, has become undoubtedly entrenched and pushed to encompass every possible story going.

A good education is not just a right, it is the cornerstone of a civilised society, and yet between politicians, officials and high, often outrageous, demands from parents, school can become a chore, a place where learning is not fun, but a slog, one exacerbated by lack of investment, one in which the system is rigged against everybody concerned.

The phenomenon will always be with us, the occurrence of the cinematic event that manages to infiltrate almost every aspect of life and society is one that either is embraced or shunned with seemingly equal proportions. Whilst the Marvel Studio may have held the position of top dog in the last decade, the undisputed King of the block, it is to the characters of Elsa and Anna that the Queens of the Frozen franchise have infiltrated their way into theatre productions, the songs, the costumes, the public, arguably cannot get enough of the sisters, their snowman and the magic of their lives.
