I'll be honest: I'm really not into war movies. I'm not even completely into action movies, either. So when I first heard about a movie called Dunkirk, I wasn't exactly interested.

Straight from IMDB, Dunkirk's plot is that "Allied soldiers from Belgium, the British Empire and France are surrounded by the German army and evacuated during a fierce battle in World War II."

But as a longtime One Direction fan, the moment I heard Harry Styles was cast in it, I knew I was going to push through my reservations and see him on the big screen. Quite honestly, was I in it for the plot itself? Not exactly.

Although I ended up enjoying the movie anyway and while I appreciate and acknowledge the talent Christopher Nolan has as a filmmaker, my main thrill during Dunkirk was definitely watching one of my favorite pop icons make his acting debut.

I could write a completely unqualified movie review. Or, I could show you some of my thoughts using GIFs of none other than Harry Styles himself. So, as a self-proclaimed terrible movie critic (but a massive fangirl), I present you with the latter.

1. When someone asks if you went to see Dunkirk mainly for Harry's acting debut

2. When that same person proceeds to make fun of you for wanting to see Harry in Dunkirk

3. Trying to control your excitement while walking into the theater

4. Watching the beginning of the movie and trying to figure out when Harry will make his cameo

5. Looking up in awe as Harry's character finally makes his appearance

Also, a note from the author: YES, I know Harry's character has a name and YES I know it's Alex, let me LIVE!!

6. What some random person in the theater is probably thinking of asking your friend as they're watching you freak out silently when Harry appears

7. And then you try to play it cool and act like you don't care that Harry's IN A MOVIE

8. How you want to react every time Harry's character does something

9. How you actually react every time Harry's character does something

10. Your internal reaction any time you think Harry's character might die

11. That feeling of relief every time he doesn't die

12. When you realize the movie is coming to an end

13. Sitting in the theater after waiting for Harry's name to roll across the screen

14. Internally thanking Christopher Nolan for a masterpiece of a movie, and for casting Harry Styles in it
