There's acting...then there's been so in tune (no pun intended) with the story you're trying to tell. Regardless of film taste, musical taste, whatever taste, this is one of the most perfectly filmed scenes out there
When the mines closed, villages an traditions, an communities died.. Hard places. But look at the world now Worse things happening. Like the government give a fk?? If you're working class you've pretty well been buggered since Blair Not Thatcher.
My old work colleague, who actually features in this clip, and really played music, tells how Pete Postlethwaite used to buy the drinks for the Grimethorpe Colliery Band, while he snorted coke off the table tip.
Wow, a wonderful trip down memory lane - for this piece of music, this beautifully made sad film, and for so many excellent young actors who went on to bring such joy and meaning in their acting in the ensuing years.
