The best film - ever!

Rating: 10/10 (18 May 1999)

I love this film. It is one of the only films I actually bothered seeing at the cinema, buying the book and getting the video. It is almost inspirational - to live up to the standard set by a parent (or brother depending on whether you have read the book or not) and to try to exceed it. The acting is brilliant, the script is both at times entertaining and serious. I watch films to escape and this film painted a picture of a world which has a veneer of repectability and innocence but is ruled by hatred, violence and bigotry. This film is one of the best ever made and deserves all the recognition it receives
