Recently bought this DVD based on trailer and references to Shameless production company.
I enjoyed this film ticked all the boxes for good entertainment value.
I found this film amusing yet sad that we allow segregation in housing in our society. It is clear that in the UK we tolerate but do not approve of foreigners settling in this country.
Without intergration we will get tensions but maybe this segregation is a solution to keep waring factors at bay. You can see this in Northern Ireland too.
Without checking the film clip I'm guessing the scene is about the extremist and unwanted teacher in the school mosque. Where the leaders of the mosque are too afraid remove the extremeist teacher from their community.
This is where the extremeist do get kicked out and they end up continuing to peddle their false teaching outside the controls of the mosque.
This is where in reality the islamic community must inform the police so things do not get out of hand. So that they can be deported (self patronised) or sent to jail.
Back to the film, I was aware that the younger generation of these ethnic groups are in state of not belonging to the traditions of their parents and so wanting to make their own desisions and benefiting from the trappings of the western cultures. But they are also having to deal with a country they were born into that does not accept them either.
It makes me feel that the message that Britain sends out to the rest of the world is completely wrong. The saying the grass is greener on the other side rings true. It's amazed me that why would an imigrant would want to move to the UK. When in princple they are expected not to sit on the fence in Britain but to disguard their traditions and cultures and be fully intergrated
citizens of Britain.
In all the chaos this film projects there are some very laughable moments. The four little boys tricks against other groups in our society all go wrong. THe lesbians who poison little boys they discover were not what they expected, and the nonce who who tricks them.
Its a film I would like to see again and again. Not as harsh as Shameless. But there was one scene with these elderly ladies who were obviously dealing with drugs. They were raided by a drug gang. Their dog deficates on the floor of their living room. Revealing a stash of drugs in a condom that the dog passes. An opportunity for Tina's eldest to start is own drug dealing.
I also thought was more touching was the drug addict with her daughter playing with a bottle of bleach on her own while her mother was getting a fix.
I understnad that this is a trilogy of two previous films Tina goes shopping and Tina takes a break.
Films worth watching if and when they become available.
Very funny and witty I must turn professional :-)
