loved this. I appreciated the dole office scenes; I often think of how it used to be before... and feel that 'everyone' has forgotten how better it used to be [Mick says he'd rather not go for the warehouse job...!]; how human we all still were. The woman [daring!] telling them to get off the swings.
This was intended to be bleak, and 30 years later is my wistful memories!
@Halftrac Funny and fine use of irony. That there could be a Left again in the US in another 6-10 years is a distinct possibility, but the neoliberals and the Ruggledems will need to suffer significant defeats first.
36:00 - The mother and daughter have the same hair. LOL
In many of the scenes, the accents are so thick I can't hardly follow the conversation. I saw one of Loach's films after this one; it included subtitles for the many different accents with which the different characters (all from different parts of Britain) spoke. As an American, these accents are close to impenetrable. But then, I was in southern Virgnia years ago & couldn't understand a word they were saying there as well!
@arcanecraft well,seeing as your culture isn`t the same as it was for us in Britain at that time it would seem to you like that.But that was life for us lot back then,boring,no prospects,no hope,no work,real horrible black recession.This film isn`t meant to be a hollywood action movie.

Thumbs down if you're a stupid little bastard of the newest generation possessing the attention span of a mosquito.
Afterwards, go back to texting on your iPod.

@GVDtv1 Because it is Ken Loach. He is one of the great filmmakers of all time. Honestly, look into his work you'll be glad you did.
