And isn't it extraordinary than now, worse than the Victorian era, the sight of a bare bottom is considered paedophilia? Asking a woman if she would like a coffee is Attempted Rape? |

Just because Loach has supported Corbyn is irrelevant, everyone supports someone. The film is a fairly accurate depiction of the benefits system and job centres. They are very hostile and cynical places. The film was balanced in the fact it showed both decent and horrible job centre staff (jobsworths - calling the plod when daniel argued with one of the staff). Apart from anything else the film is funny and moving. In my local job centre there are move security heavies than the average night club, because the system is designed to make people frustrated and angry and avoid making claims.
As for why Kes is a classic. This is because it is so realistic and moving. You can't see the join between this film and real life, there are few films that can say that. It is timeless, realistic, and funny.
I have seen it and what made you think I didn't?
The nightclub near me have roughly number of 'heavies' as my old Job Centre.
Kes is not funny ( not to me) and changing room scene is just very creepy to see, why did Ken direct nude kids ?
As for the changing room scene, the film was based on a book by Barry Hines, and the changing room scene was essential to the story. You only saw their bare bums, most people aren't traumatised by the site of a bare bum. I remember watching this at school in the 80s, and everyone just thought that scene was funny, nobody needed counciling afterwards. It was made in 1969, before the era of paedo hysteria, showing this non-explicit nudity wasn't considered a big deal. David Bradley the lead actor in the film looks back on the film with great fondness.
People like all sorts of different films, many people worship star wars, whereas I couldn't care for it, others like grittier films about real life, that you can relate to. Shawshank Redemption is one of the highest rated films on imdb. I enjoyed it, but it doesn't stand up to several repeated viewings, like Kes, zulu, or the breakfast club. |
