Best movie of this year hands down!
I'll tell you why so serious
To all those who have watched it: I hope you enjoyed it as much as I do.
The film makes a home in your brain and the only cure is to see it again.
This film tells the story of a teenage boy who faces a series of misfortunes, and ends up having to make a living while taking care of his young sister. He perseveres through the hardship, and meets the famous rock star from The Clash, and his life is changed for the better.People say this film is about music, but I view this film as a film that chronicles how hard life is for people who are not well off. When misfortune strikes, prior don't even lens a hand of support. The boy faces adversity with striking resilience, which I think is a good example to people. I enjoyed watching the film because of this resilient character.
Introducing the only band that matters to a new generation = Priceless.Excellent soundtrack.Fair enough there area few factual errors, but totally enjoyable nonetheless.Jonathan Rhys Meyers did a wonderful job as Joe Strummer.The entire idea of the power struggle was portrayed in a real way that the people could understand - combining a romantic story with real life. As stated previously Excellent soundtrack. Congrats all round on a Job well done.Thoroughly enjoyed it.
This is a fabulous coming of age story, set against the back drop of London in the 70's and the music of The Clash. The film is cleverly put together with a great mix of humour, emotion, gritty reality and music of The Clash. The acting is superb particularly Daniel Huttlestone as Shay, although little Alice steals the show more than once! Jonathan Rhys Meyers could be Joe Strummer, with his attitude and great voice. It's a movie that makes you think, laugh and cry. A real British film, I have already seen this twice and will happily watch again!
Coming of age tale about a young boy who discovers the Clash via his estranged mother and a girl on a train.From the opening minutes you can perceive a nice tale which frankly is pretty unbelievable from some wooden acting, a poor portrayal of Joe Strummer and a teen romance than frankly is a bit wishy washy.The whole punk scene is frankly pretty badly portrayed, the Anti Nazi League concert is mixed with some footage from the Clash's own rude boy film, factually incorrect as far as timelines are concerned for the die hard Clash fan but frankly all a bit dull and predictable. Is one one for the DVD bargain bin in months to come, shame as The Clash still stand up as one of Britain's best bands shoulder to shoulder with The Whos of this world and expected a little more in the Quadrophenia or Sid and Nancy mould, this more a twee film that a 14 year old would find sweet more than a tale of 1978 and punk rock.
