I'm American can a brit please explain to me what has happened to the UK or what it is really like? I'm 20 and have never gone further then 200 hundred miles away from philadelphia (sad). But after reading 1984, watchmen, v for vendetta, a clockwork orange, and seeing this movie and green street hooligans etc. I see a specific literary genre that is this distopian future or present UK. didnt know if it's just films or if its really like that, but British Literature is my concentration in my BA
@Sheadaddy908 I could recommend you some good reading material if you're interested in finding out more about that side of things. The problem is that most Americans will probably only see this Rom Com picture of Britain, with people like High Grant prancing around with identical 'British' accents (from a specific part of upper middle class London). Outside movie fantasy land things are different.
As I said, feel free to mail me or post a comment on my profile and I'll recommend you some stuff.
I agree with other comments (like Hollywood is not USA, but a parallel world which touches some truth) but also feel the reason this touches a nerve for some Brits is that it is a powerful dramatised visualisation of how some perceive the country is going / has become in some ways - not all shopping trips result in subway fascists trying to rape you but the perception of law being inadequate to the current needs, wouldbelawful citizens punished, criminals getting lots of get outs.
@Sheadaddy908 The thing is that we have a very small minority of criminal bellends, like every other place, but it's sooo easy to avoid them. All those films/books exaggerate a shit ton, and i'm saying that having been mugged in london in the last fortnight. The police are actually much nicer and more professional than portrayed in this film. Please come over for a visit I guarantee you'll love it, it's as good as ever if not better.
@ninjabob2456 I'll be there tomorrow, I guess a lot can happen in a month, since you posted this... first stop will be a sports store for a f'ing bat... I wonder if I can get one "Duty Free"... Batter-Up muppets!
He obviously recognises what has happened to the UK, as do millions of others - but the only thing the British seem able to do is document the decline with movies like Harry Brown, it never seems to occur to them to take drastic action to fix their decaying society. Incredibly sad.
Hey juanmacready-why do you go around calling great englishmen half-blind and bald, dumbass? You obviously cant come up with anything else-you calls the great actor rex harrison the same thing.
I met Sir Michael Caine at leatherhead drama festival! He's lovely ^_^ very funny man. He said: don't listen to all the old actors, go for it in your own way :)
Although you've taken the time to read and reply.... go figure!
Love it when "educated humans" like you contradict themselves in a comment!
feel free to correct any of my grammar I know you get a kick out of things like that... no doubt there is some mistakes in there seeing as English is my second langauge!
So what if ive taken the time to read and reply, all the more proof that you are a pointless ignorant troll, so now once ive proved your ignorance you play the "smart ass". I havn't contradicted myself in anyway, and wow English is your second language thats good to know, so why don't you argue in your first language because your pathetic ignorance we don't want to hear about.
Im not complaining about a mispell or a typo...i was complaining that "woteva" is the same type of attitude and language used by the scumbags Harry Brown killed in that movie...
Wow 10 comments in and your still somehow turning this into an argument? I pretty much used one comment...pretty much to tell you that you are a cunt...there is no need to drag it on and try and turn it into a pathetic common Youtube argument based on your immaturity to make yourself look good on Youtube
Anyone know where the housing estate was that they filmed Harry Brown? Loved this film, thought Sir Michael was great and Ben Drew (Plan B) was excellent. Tune at the end "End Credits" sums it all up brilliantly.
when they say theyre gonna pull things down and have nice buildings put there instead what the government usually means is people are ging to be relocated to somewhere just as shite. and the buildngs will be rented out to the middle classes.
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
Caine is an overrated loser.....look at all his film history and you'll see almost all are B-movies that no-one has heard about..........go make a 'Sir' outta the humble British squaddie who got his legs blown-off - gottit Queenie?
I can feel your hatred but Caine is no loser. One of the best actors ever. He's been in more good films than a centipede has legs. You wanna rant on why the queen hasnt knighted some soldier then go for it, just dont critisise a man that has worked hard to get where he is today.
I saw Harry Brown last night and thought it was AMAZING! None of this over the top American Acting with massive explosions and surviving 400FT drops, this was as realistic as it can get and Michael Caine really complimented the character. (If that makes sence? ) : )
fuck that. what about the good kids who concentrate hard in school - do well, go to university and get good jobs? why shuld they be thrown in with the scumbags portrayed in this film?
The reality is that even if they work hard in school doesn't mean they wont lash out afterwards. I've been in a situation when I was in a gang for many years. Unless you been in one its almost impossible to understand so don't try to. Its not just all about the drugs, violence, booze. The gang members become your family. However I don't condone gang violence. I got out of the gang coz of violence. Its not a good thing.
