Really don't see why abusive couples stay together i've met a couple of girls who've been in abusive relationships it's horrible, i get that love isn't logical and yeah you make sacrifices and it is hard being in a relationship and sometimes the guy manipulates you but seriously you'd have to know something was wrong when you're being bruised and you live in fear that's not love that's desperation.
Kathy Burke is probably one of the best actresses around - she can do anything. I had only seen her in comedy stuff but my God her performance here was unbelievable. The whole film is terrific; brutal but terrific.
silly question here,especially with how good the acting is.and on you see on youtube a lot.but what's that tune in the club,the one after ray does a line?something sheila.
This is a biographical film directed and written by Gary Oldman ( his real life sister Laila Morse stars in it too ) . I saw a interview with him and he said this was written about his childhood .
same here, I was in an absusive relationship and my ex at the time said " Why are you watching this" thinking that I would get ideas and it was this scene we were watching.
This scene inspired me to leave him... that was 5 years ago.
@Parshnips what the fuck are you talking about!!!?? robert de niro, al fucking pacino, jack nicholson, tom hanks your a dick head if you really think british actors are better.
@jackstein104 Unfortunately, all those actors you mentioned (Robert De Niro, Al Pacino, Jack Nicholson, and Tom Hanks) are getting old. They're still great actors, don't get me wrong! I'm just getting worried about a new wave of American actors, in which most just care about being famous. Nothing wrong on being famous, but they just focus on their career like that. I can only imagine how boring it might be if you play the same role every so often.
the film is no joke , good acting and bless these sort of people who have to suffer this kind of life , gary oldman got this portrayal of working the poor class england bang on.
But you believe here sincerity in this scene when she says that - even for the high-rise: "I'd rather die then live any longer with you." Kathy is superb in this movie, and I still have a hard time watching this, as I am so used to her being the comedy sidekick to Harry Enfield...
Notice how, within a minute or two, Ray is bleating on about how unfair life is for him, how he's having a hard time...forgetting how he treated poor Val, this is typical of this type of man.
Thanx for posting this. Kathy and Ray are sublime,the film is beyond words.I know people who live like this, I always pray 4 them even tho im athiest.Thanx again
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
i used to live like this until I became a Christian and Jesus saved my life, trust me God is real He has the power to change things to break the cycle.
Sometimes, so-called Atheists make the best Christians. What I mean by that, is that they are more prepared to prey to whatever God may be, rather then prey to the doctrine that is most common Christianity as taught. I consider myself to be agnostic, in that I neither believe, nor dis-believe - I think this is the most unbiased approach...
Yeah, I think the best approach is not to advertise what you believe, it just makes people angry. Being agnostic is a good approach as you don't irritate people or deny any possibilities...
Anyhow, thanks for uploading this, it's wonderful. I love Kathy Burke, she's brilliant and can play anyone and make them real.
Glad you like it. :) Hard to believe that she is the same actor who appears with Harry Enfield in Harry's comedy shows... A truly talented actor, is Kathy.
bit of a wasted statement because they all reconcile in the end
