Look at Pete Postlethwaite's facial mannerisms between 3:45 -3:58, he is FEELING the music. Pride, happiness, trust; high emotion to the very point of tears. THATS acting

Downloaded this film out of nostalgia…wasn’t a miner or had anything to do with the pits ..but a lot of my family and friends did …I watched over a period of time ..those same family and friends slowly destroyed by Thatcher ..the Tory government…and their American hatchet man ..may they all ROT in their hell for what they did …this film is really a tribute to those men who worked who worked long hours in horrific conditions down in the bowels of the earth..I personally think that this film should be compulsory shown in every school once a year Last little note …on the day of basted thatcher’s funeral..a lot of ex-pit villagers and towns throughout the north had street parties to celebrate her funeral… Again I say …ROT IN HELL THATCHER
Beyond brilliant, the man defined the entire movie with his portrayal. One of the greatest actors I have had the pleasure of watching on screen in on eof his best roles. Not sure how popular this is in England or how well known the movie is (I would assume very well known, someone from England enlighten me on this) , but it seems like here in US not many people know what the hell you are talking about when you mention Brassed Off. Its truly a masterpiece, puzzling why it isnt more widely celebrated.
I watch this film at least 3-4 times a year. It is one of the best films I have seen because of the political content and the actors playing the instruments is very close to what would happen in a rehearsal. My Favourite part is 'Orange Juice' when it is wobbly!!!!
Always thought of this film as being Ken Loach-esque without Ken Loach himself. It’s a great film about a tragedy brought upon many Northern mining towns!
