A film about unemployment in the working classes when they are living in parts of sheffield that are beautiful (and expensive) doesn't make sense really. :thumbsup: Strix 10-10-2004, 10:38 Originally posted by ianmitchell well in the example of the full monty, the whole aim of the film was to make our 'great city' (as you call it) look 'dingy'.

I spent eight years away from here, and it certainly isn't now the dingy place it was in the early nineties. The full monty illustrated the atmosphere we have chosen to forget existed then.

It's not too bad a movie - it's not great tho. igm1 10-10-2004, 14:41 Originally posted by Strix Ooh, don't we all have rose tinted specs?

There are still dingy places in Sheffield tho, just as there are good parts and bad parts in every city.

Remember Gerald? The foreman with the nice house, sunbed, dancing class? rob123 15-10-2004, 13:38 Apart from the three mentioned so far, what others have been set/made in Sheffield for theatrical release ? |
