L love Meadows films...but the man himself doesn't come over as very...well let's just say he doesn't seem to match his obvious amazing talent. He is maybe just a very modest man.
My fav film of all time, only I wish people would give Toby Kebbell (Anthony) some credit after all Daniel Day Lewis got a Academy Award for his role in My Left Foot. Everyone seems to go on about is Paddy and Shane but I don't think people realise how sensative a role and all the little things that amount to a convincing portrayal of a mentally retarded person. Peace :o)
just excellant . I think weve all encountered or hung round with these nasty mean spirited lads be it on your estate or at school or in the pub and heard about some really awful things, atrocities really that have happened in our communities and have gone unpunished and thats what this film protrays so excellantly. The characters are perfect and if your from a working class background then they are just instantly recognisable. and considine is magnificent as the protagonist. CLASSIC CINEMA
nice cinematography- I, myself, am using hand-on-knowledge to start doing shorts. The problem is that I only have a small mitsubishi standard camcorder-
True, many nasty things happen in small towns. A young lad (15) hung himself a few yards from my old house cos he owed the local dealers money. No one brought to book, just left simmering. You can see how this kind of stuff could happen.
Fantastic film. I have a son with special needs whos been bullied, people are cruel and sick. The twist at the end is great. Lookforward to more of his work.
@thekatie40 Very true, i remember the lady who killed herself and her Autistic daughter because they were being bullied. The law needs to change, people who act like that, need to be made an example of.
@thekatie40 My girlfriends daughter has autism and has been bullied. I empathise with you. Showing your child the love and support he needs helps an awful lot. People are cruel and sick. But remember people - like yourself - can be kind and gentle.
@lathesius Aww, thank you. You'll have a better understanding than moast, because of your girlfriends daughter, you can use your knowledge to educate others. :)
yeah i keep watching the intro over and over again and telling myself it aint real. bit like the boogie man not being real...the problem is he is real.
He doesn't know exactly who killed he's brother. But he left he's brother in these peoples care (keep an eye on him) and they did exactly the opposite
this man expresses himself like we all want to do i love this film directed so fly on the wall he comes from the same life as most of us and its life now scary but here
I totally agree, this film quite distressed me for a while after viewing it...but Shane's creative vision of it obviously came from some of his life experiences
This is my fav Film ever....iam german and iam defo trying to get as many people to see it as possible...( SPREAD IT IN GERMANY) LOL***...not just the director is awesome....but the ACTING is unbelievable.....I LOVE IT.....
Great Film, classic, the sequence where paddy talks with his brother on the tyres is as good as film gets, made me want to get on ebay and order a russian gas mask
Cheers got it. cool film...

How did this film only get 56% on rotten tomatoes, one of the gripes being the "thick" accent?
Then again I s'pose this viewer's struggle between love and hate just proves the film's success.
