Nothing to do with reality

Rating: 5/10 (10 April 2009)

If you are 60 or over this movie does not ring any bells. It's hard to recognise the epoch I grew up in and matured. We really did not carry on like this! There's a myth floating about concerning the permissiveness in those years. Rubbish! Typical middle class crap. These people should have been there, some will say this a biased view but they don't know just how DIFFERENT things were. There was no dancing in the street! People did not think about rights, privacy or authority. These were not on anybody's radar. Radio Caroline was a blip on one's awareness, soon gone and forgotten to await commercial radio . I believe Richard Curtis has made a film, again, which reflects more his hang-ups than his knowledge. A girl would have been mortified,in my experience, to have been shown a condom than was seen in this film. Such were not the facts of life. Girls got pregnant without knowing why.
