A bunch of well-off lefty actors trying to portray the working classI grew up in the 50s left school to work hard a mod and never dressed like these tramps portrayed in this film all ways respectful to our elders never talked back and never smoked like chimneys and Skins were always snappy and smart again not dressed like tramps and we always had dosh no poncing off of one another

This reminds me of the other Film but the Father always spoke negative about his younger son in New York, Jersey?? Toxic irresponsible , abusive Father Father's were in every Nationality??🤔💯 We've all been around some family's like such?? This is a upgraded, change of script movie? The other Guy's name happened to be Frank??🤔💯💖💖 Italian Version Great Film!

Comment from : @jaynewton5278

Great film
Comment from : @stephenoleary5627

Wasn't sure I knew of this film until I saw Roth and Daniels, also a young Gary Oldman Roth and Oldman got Hollywood while Daniels got Eastenders smh Mike Leigh films are always a good springboard for UK talent from the 70s to today

The original "eff your couch" @39:58 that must have inspired Rick James!

Depressing but good
Comment from : @ziggy6848

Mike Leigh's films always repulse me It's such a bleak vision of dull-witted, casually malevolent characters who suffer from a paucity of soul The fatalism comes from his vision of humanity being impotent and small, like trash being blown about by the slightest breeze I don't recognize anything even vaguely human here
Comment from : @dpye111

was this thinly veiled tory propaganda portraying the working classes as thick as pigshit, or were they thick as pigshit?

Meantime is a 1983 British comedy-drama television film directed by Mike Leigh and produced by Central Television for Channel 4brIt stars Tim Roth, Phil Daniels and Gary Oldman It was shown in 1983 at the London Film Festival and on Channel 4 and at the 1984 Berlin International Film Festival According to the critic Michael Coveney, "the sapping, debilitating and demeaning state of unemployment, the futile sense of waste, has not been more poignantly, or poetically, expressed in any other film of the period
Comment from : @voidnetwork

Yep left school 1982 everyone was a skin by 84 psychobilly scooter boys but this film has attention to detail on the clothes and the doom and gloom of no work government scheme etc

About my 5th time watching this, just this year alone, cant believe I didn't know about it even being made, Gary Oldman's portrayal of the Skinhead is spot-on

No body knows them, but they're always there, statistical reminders of a world that doesn't care brA 1 in 10 & theirs vermin in the kitchen , a hells kitchen & theirs hell to pay brSettle for nothing now, settle for nothing later brIf the 1 in 10's don't take action now, they'll take it later brJust a 1 in 10, a number on a leaf, a statistical reminder of a world that doesn't care

Comment from : @miasolala8415

Tim Roth's early performances were actually better than Gary Oldman's I reckon When you compare Made in Britain to this, the roles are so different but he completely inhabits the characters and makes them utterly believable

That is one of the oddest films I've ever seen, and I've seen a fair few odd films
Comment from : @LloydB

Still wondering when they are coming to fix those windows If they are as bad as our lot, they will still be waiting Next door neighbour had hers with loads of ivy growing through hers think they finally fixed them 5 or 6 months after her funeral (and that is not a joke Just reality) My place isn't too bad, turned my so called "utilities room" into a fully fitted workshop and I know how to use my tools They did complain when the saw the 1959 AJS 350CC in the bedroom and told me wasn't a motorcycle in the flat, so I threw my leathers over the handle bars and told them it wasn't a motorcycle, it is a clothes rack I got no grief from them after that I took it out the bedroom this year (after 5 years) and got it running again, so now it IS a motorcycle again

This is like Shameless in the UK If this is anything close to reality, it has to be the most dysfunctional social structure in modern times
