At this point I've been stuck on "Sleuth" the 2007 remake. Amazing acting, plot, and a brilliant dialogue. Recomend to anyone who enjoys word and mind games.

Ooooh, so much Ewan MacGregor so far :) I'll add some more then...

"Brassed Off". One of my all-times favourites with a very similar social context as in "Billy Elliot" - I can't help my fondness for what critics call the "British social realism". Plus brilliant soundtrack! There's no better "William Tell Overture" performance than the one in the final scene, not to mention "Concierto de Aranjuez" with a stunning hornet solo...

I don't want to disappoint Magda, but I really disliked this film.

This will sound bizarre to the English posters here, me being a southerner, but I actually lived in a mining village, Silverdale Staffordshire, throughout the strike depicted in the film.

I found the portrayal of Working Class people in the film stereotypical, patronising and inaccurate.

I was annoyed by the continual swearing throughout the film, particularly by women.

I'd be interested in Jon's view on this as I believe he comes from a mining community.

What did you think?

I'll write about this film again as I got no reaction.

The film brings back a lot of nostalgia for me.

I presume the other English guys here must have seen the film, so what is your opinion of it?

The language is difficult to understand for non-Brits.

Everytime I see the film I'm more impressed with it.

Here's the trailer with a bizarre American voiceover:

You haven't disappointed me. It is one's inalienable right to dislike a film!
I found the portrayal of Working Class people in the film stereotypical, patronising and inaccurate.

Well, you're right in some extent. "Lads do football, boxing or wrestling, not the friggin' ballet" - Dad's mentality is just unbearable! On the other hand, in more "serious" social dramas (just to mention Ken Loach's films) the working class appears a bit romanticised and heroised to me which I find a kind of biased approach as well (I like Loach's films, though). In general, "Billy Elliot" seems to be a kind of heart-warming and hopeful fairy-tale, so I don't really mind some simplifications that often occur in such cases...

One of the things that struck me about the film was the use of the f-word by the ballet teacher.

When I lived in Silverdale I always got told off if I ever used bad language in front of a woman.

This made the dialogue very unrealistic for me.

I also find many of Ken Loach's films patronising and PC.

However, his earlier ones are good.

First of all you can only post photos already uploaded to some website. If you want to post a picture from your pc, you need to upload it first, for example to http://imageshack.us
Write [obrazek] before and after the link.
Warren means [ img ] link to the picture (copy it from address bar) [ / img ]*

Just do what the instruction suggest - use [obrazek] markers and paste an exact link to the image between them. Example:

{img}[obrazek]{/img}

I've used this {} kind of brackets instead of the right one [] as the example could be automatically misinterpreted as an image.
