Koa,
ReplyDeleteGood posting, and I like the link - well done.
I'm from Sheffield, and remember the dark old days of unemployement, especially during the miner's strike which impoverished the area. The movie is a comedy, but not far from some harsh observations on the trajedy of losing your job, confidence, family, furniture, status, even the will to live.
Sheffield is recovering now, and is well worth a visit. The movie is also very good, with some great music.
[Q: In some ways The Full Monty was a very unusual film. Why do you think it was so successful? ]
ReplyDeleteIt isn't cool beans but quite delightful. It is so interesting story. After enormous sum of hardship, overcoming a setback, finally men respected their friendships instead of their pride or social position. They do my heart good and I am impressed. The story, the film with an exciting finish makes us cheerful. So I think the film received good recognition and has been widely noticed.
