No Country for Young Men
Dunkirk 2: The Frenchman Rises - where Tommy goes back for Gibson, rescues him, and the two celebrate being evacuated by going to a LA Dodgers game. Ehehehe.
Over the Easter weekend, when I wasn't watching my club lose miserably to Spurs, I was making the most of the poll function on Instagram, to investigate one of life's most important, unanswered questions:
Of the principal cast, I took the eight youngest / most prominent (so not Kenneth Branagh and Mark Rylance or James D’Arcy, sorry), arranged them alphabetically by surname and used a random number simulator in R to draw pairs (trust me to make swooning over actors nerdy).
I then set the question up as a football-style tournament, where my Instagram followers chose their preferred eye candy of choice. I added pictorial evidence, to save my followers having to go 'who?' and googling who they were.
Round 1:
Who would you have chosen? This is what Instagram decided:
Just who is the hottest actor in Dunkirk?

Battle of the twinks on the boat.

Poor Barry. Altho he was legit evil in The Killing of a Sacred Deer, sooo
Ni!
Despite several of the film blogs I ready being quite into their twinks, this was not mirrored by my Instagram poll. Aneurin Barnard lost comprehensively to Tom Hardy (Gibson deserved better!), and Harry Styles and Tom Glynn-Carney only made it past the first round because their opponent was another twink.
These three chaps all got knocked out in the first round.
Semi finals:
In the semi-finals, these boys were easily out-fought by Tom Hardy and Cillian Murphy, meaning the final was between the two regulars of the Nolan-verse, the Inception, Dark Knight Rises and Peaky Blinders stars.
Final:
Cillian Murphy beat Tom Hardy, crowning him the hottest actor in Dunkirk according to Emma’s Instagram followers.
But it got me thinking, if the way the poll was conducted (in a football cup-style tournament), and the small sample size, affected the results? Obviously, the limited sample size means the result is hardly scientific.
So now I propose investigating this question another way: as a simple poll, where you just choose your favourite and that’s that.
For inclusion, I’ve added Branagh, Rylance (who I last watched being loopy af in Ready Player One), James D’Arcy and even Christopher Nolan, if cerebral, slightly intense filmmakers are your thing.
Happy voting! (And no, this is not me trying to game the system so Aneurin Barnard and Fionn Whitehead get more votes. Honest, guv’nor).
The artist who drew this caught the likeness of Tommy and Gibson's eyes beautifully!
