What a fantastic film.
I've been lamenting the lack of good films recently and decided that I either wanted to see a film featuring a story told differently or a story told well. I can't remember all the dross that made me feel let down but to give you a taster, Blood Diamond and The Last King Of Scotland were two that spring to mind.
Anyway, the Barley film was most certainly a story told well. I managed to overcome my guilt for being English and loved both the characters and the manner in which the narrative made their actions plausible and sympathetic.
The parallels with the Iraqi insurgents were too many to mention, I hope we don't have to wait so long for a similarly sympathetic portrait of their plight.

About Me
- beefandcheese
- Despite compelling evidence to the contrary this was never meant to be about either beef or cheese, subjects in which I have little more than a passing interest. It is true however that the fates have recently conspired to find me work at a cheese factory but this is little more than a cruel, coincidental joke told at my expense.
