Scotland, summer 1972. John McGill (Forrest Gregg and Conor McCarron at different times) is a kid with a promising future, intelligent, sensitive and wants to learn to be someone in life and away from a dysfunctional home.
As it grows, John is carried away by life on the streets, away from the goals it set and becoming more of a panda.
Anyone can see that something moves in England, his productions have an average interest and increasingly high quality but that is not yet reflected in the English programs where they rarely are released or flit. Because (for me deserved, but not who competed) prize for best picture garnered in the San Sebastian Film Festival in our language we can enjoy a work of many carats.
As films as This is England, Son of Rambow, Rise of the Footsoldier, or the films of (almost) always interesting Nick Love, Neds that label belongs to those "wonderful" years, where the script tells the harsh daily reality of a character or the social group they belong in a season of the recent past.
The actor, screenwriter and director Peter Mullan, tells us without any particular ruthlessly or the travel concessions the darkness of the young boy 'John McGill, a latent darkness comes to light by the influence of his family, the environment and the dictatorial atmosphere of Scottish education.
Great work of the two actors playing John, Forrest Gregg and Conor McCarron (this reminds me of a young Brendan Gleeson) and the rest of the cast.
not its funny that this story begins in 1972 during what was called Glam summer, when radios were filled with the music of David Bowie, T-Rex, Sweet and other creators of catchy pop / rock . Those were times of colors, sequins, glitter and just shine in this movie (though it sounds some good tunes of T-Rex or Alex Harvey) due to darkness surrounding the characters.
like more or less, but well worth a view.
