The thing that got to me most was the ending scene, when Richard made fun of his brother Anthony. He called him a "fuckin nana" and "an embarrassment to me" And at that very moment the whole film made sense of its true meaning. A man wracked with guilt about how he felt about his young brother, and the fact, despite his true feelings, he should of been there for him. It truly was a heartbreaking moment. He couldn't live with that guilt, so was hell bent on the revenge, and his own demise. Such a powerful and sad film. They'll blow the dust off this film in 50 years time and still say it's genius.
I’m glad you came to that conclusion because I’ve seen a few people try to say it was Richard “Expressing his murderous tendencies with revenge and using it as an excuse to murder” - which is totally off. He even admits at the end that “he’s the monster” so I don’t know how these people came to that conclusion. He wouldn’t have even let the last bloke kill him if he had just wanted to express murderous tendencies. This is the one of the messages I got from the film too: that he was wracked with guilt over how he should’ve done more and how he viewed/treated his brother was wrong, an he’s the one paying the ultimate price. He thought killing them would make him better, but instead it just made him just as bad.
Obviously Paddy Considine is brilliant but I don't think Toby Kebbell gets enough praise. This was the first I'd seen of him and I thought he actually had special needs. Completely convincing and empathetic at the same time.
One of the best films ever made. Heart breaking, haunting, well acted and moving. The characters are actually quite likeable, despite their crimes. An extremely under rated film.
Shane Meadows so humble...I do not think at the time they realised the masterpiece they created...it resonated with so many. Simple film, simple story...really well told. Amazing. Great example of British cinema at its best
@@andygalloway3282 as Shane said in the interview, he set out some scene "markers" and the cast ad-libbed much of the dialogue. Says a lot about their talent and what makes the whole movie's ambience all the more believable.
Fantastic film. I have a son with special needs whos been bullied, people are cruel and sick. The twist at the end is great. Lookforward to more of his work.
Seems ljke almost every big actor that plays a disabled person gets an Oscar or some similar award. Except Rosie O' Donnell. Which just goes to show that it does actually take some talent to do it right.
such a good movie, good soundtrack and good actors. i love how you find out happens to his brother as it goes along, the last scene was really good. love this movie
Shane and paddy are a duo that make magic! pure gold ..Romeo brass was his first film!? he was amazing in that, opposite some brilliant actors incl bob Hoskins paddy made that film ..now he's known as current top 100 best actors 👍👌🏼
@thekatie40 My girlfriends daughter has autism and has been bullied. I empathise with you. Showing your child the love and support he needs helps an awful lot. People are cruel and sick. But remember people - like yourself - can be kind and gentle.
just excellant . I think weve all encountered or hung round with these nasty mean spirited lads be it on your estate or at school or in the pub and heard about some really awful things, atrocities really that have happened in our communities and have gone unpunished and thats what this film protrays so excellantly. The characters are perfect and if your from a working class background then they are just instantly recognisable. and considine is magnificent as the protagonist. CLASSIC CINEMA
I can relate being ex-army myself and after coming out getting mixed up with drugs, I was also treated similar by people. I since found out I have aspergers. Life is very different, but when I came out the army I was still like a fish out of water.
@@baileymiller2284 thanks I'm doing good. One if my ancestors was Sir Samual Miller. I'm doing good, thanks you don't have to thank me for service, I didn't see action. I know a lot of soldiers who have struggled to adjust. But I'm doing great. I was on benefits for the first 4 years after leaving. But I been constantly in work ever since. My HGV licence and the fact I'm reliable has hauliers asking me to work for them so money is good also.
@@danielfinch362 good to hear mate. And where abouts Haha? I ain't posh enough to have any of my ancestors with a sir in there name😂 and either way mate you still give up your time to serve our country.
this man expresses himself like we all want to do i love this film directed so fly on the wall he comes from the same life as most of us and its life now scary but here
Top 5 best films ever made!!! And still largely unknown.....I try to get people to watch it all the time. At least got my son hooked on it and he loves the movie too!
i agree, people are monsters, this film is extremely honest. Its my fave movie by far. Bit of advice tho, please don't mention a twist when talking about a movie, it takes away from the impact of the plot change if people have an idea that it is coming...
@Hugh Jones I didn't say "spoilers" I said mentioning theres a twist. The audience then tries to figure out the twist which brings away focus from the plot. Whereas with a spoiler you know what's gonna happen so you spend less times playing a guessing game. Thanks for the condescension though 😁
How did this film only get 56% on rotten tomatoes, one of the gripes being the "thick" accent? Then again I s'pose this viewer's struggle between love and hate just proves the film's success.
There's a scene where Richard and Anthony are happily reminiscing about the day he came and played football at Anthony's school, and Anthony says about his schoolmates, "they all wanted to hold your hand didn't they?" Then his tone and expression darkens and he says, "I didn't." To which Richard agrees, and seems negatively affected also, and then Anthony adds, "didn't need to, did I?" Stupidly, and despite the admissions Richard makes at the end if the film, I always took as perhaps the people in Anthony's life babying him due to his disability (if that's the correct term?) And Anthony not wanting to hold his big brothers hand at school because he wanted to prove he was a big boy. Looking back I don't think this lines up with anything in the film. I can't remember if it was a TH-cam comment, or something said in an interview, or where I got what I now think is the correct take which should have been obvious. Whoever it was I got it from said that Anthony was probably always trying to hold Richard's hand, and and that embarrased and angered Richard, and he would tell Anthony he didn't need to hold his hand, so when Anthony says "I didn't need to did I?" He's just parroting what Richard would tell him, almost for his approval, and that's why that conversation left Richard distant and deep in thought because he was remembering and regretting how he spoke to Anthony, which I think makes a lot more sense and lines up with the things Richard says towards the end of the film. One of my favourite films ever made.
This was an amazing movie ..it was like one of them movies u have to watch a second time...like the 6th sense or shutter island...this is one of my fav movies ever...
"see now the problem I have is my gear has gone missing and your talking about elephants, nice and easy quick as you can." hilarious. funny and sad.me and the missus watched it one evening and we didn't see the twist coming.when we realized what had really happened to Anthony the missus just burst into tears and I must admit I had a tear in the eye.although my excuse for that was a nice bottle of rioja which id downed during the film! powerful stuff, the film and the wine.lol!
nice cinematography- I, myself, am using hand-on-knowledge to start doing shorts. The problem is that I only have a small mitsubishi standard camcorder- Any ideas Shane- p.s. Great work Period- Thanx
yeah i keep watching the intro over and over again and telling myself it aint real. bit like the boogie man not being real...the problem is he is real. Some bloddy heartbbreaking scenes too.
@lathesius Aww, thank you. You'll have a better understanding than moast, because of your girlfriends daughter, you can use your knowledge to educate others. :)
With a little more time and thought this could have been epic,death came too easy ,they should all have been guided by Richard to how Anthony felt in the end it would have been poetic .

He was incredible
@A- M- N Do you reckon Archie may have slapped him sensible? 🤣
@A N bizarre that an actor could play two different roles
I felt so sympathetic to him in the movie, such an effective performance. He’s a great actor.👍
He absolutely nailed that role!
One of the finest British movies of all time. Very close to my own heart.
tehf00n I bought this off amazon last week , fucking quality 👌
One of the best films ever made. Heart breaking, haunting, well acted and moving. The characters are actually quite likeable, despite their crimes. An extremely under rated film.
@Rosida Andriyana Blimey seven years went by quickly. Still love this film though, may have to give it another watch tonight!
Plot is stupid noone notices tablets in the kettle may. Not notice acid but tablets come on
Young teens should be forced to watch this film. It teaches morals and one of the most important life lessons.
Agoraphobic Nosebleed!
@@bigdog517rough anal
A masterpiece, just, simply brilliant. Thanks to Shane Meadows, Paddy Considine and all who went to make this. Outstanding. And thanks for posting.
Shane Meadows so humble...I do not think at the time they realised the masterpiece they created...it resonated with so many. Simple film, simple story...really well told. Amazing. Great example of British cinema at its best
brought to light disabilty hate crime/ mate crime before they became bigger social issues. great film
"What are you doing lad?"
"That's my concern"
The dialogue in this whole movie is so believable. It's fucking powerful
@@andygalloway3282 as Shane said in the interview, he set out some scene "markers" and the cast ad-libbed much of the dialogue.

Hilariously badass....his character makes me laugh..😁
Fantastic film. I have a son with special needs whos been bullied, people are cruel and sick. The twist at the end is great. Lookforward to more of his work.
Paddys voice performance is scarily like Shane. Absolutely unique,absolute classic!
I agree
One of the best films EVER MADE'!!!
I'm so glad you put that IN BOLD because I didn't quite hear what you said.
This film is in my top 5 of all time. Low budget, AMAZING story. You MUST see it
Agreed!
The last film that blew my away like this did was True Romance 20 yrs ago.
Absolute classic film!
So relatable for anyone from Midlands who lives on a council estate
@HomelessRichGuy pretty much yeah, not even lying
the best actor has to be tony kebbell. to portray anyone with learning mental or physical abilities takes some doing !
Kelly Jones totally agree kelly
2020 and that comment is still correct.
Need someone with a proper understanding of people to not overact it and just make an unrealistic character. Respect
Seems ljke almost every big actor that plays a disabled person gets an Oscar or some similar award. Except Rosie O' Donnell. Which just goes to show that it does actually take some talent to do it right.
Ben stiller never got an award
One of my favourite films of all time....classic
Got my Dead Man's Shoes tattoo finished 🪓
Love the film 🎥
Best British film ever
Fantastic film, one of the best british films i've ever seen. Paddy considine as the main protagonist is brilliant, great actor.
Brilliant film both Richard and Anthony amazing acting.
such a good movie, good soundtrack and good actors. i love how you find out happens to his brother as it goes along, the last scene was really good. love this movie
He is my best friends uncle 👍🏻 really nice down to earth guy
Absolutely brilliant film. A true classic!
Such a great film. Can't believe its twenty years old. I remember a guy asking me if they could use my wall in the low budget horror film. Class.
Fantastic film. Up there with the best of the best for me. Great story and acting.
This movie is low budget but high quality honestly it seems so real what a work of art.
Shane and paddy are a duo that make magic! pure gold ..Romeo brass was his first film!? he was amazing in that, opposite some brilliant actors incl bob Hoskins paddy made that film ..now he's known as current top 100 best actors 👍👌🏼
It is such an under rated film. The acting, writing and direction is all spot on.
A REAL great film! 👍🏻
For me my fav British films in the last two decades:
Tyrannosaur - Kill List - Dead Man's Shoes - Nil by Mouth
Favourite film. Ever.
I love how Shane Meadows really pushes improve during his scenes.
@thekatie40 My girlfriends daughter has autism and has been bullied. I empathise with you. Showing your child the love and support he needs helps an awful lot. People are cruel and sick. But remember people - like yourself - can be kind and gentle.
i love it----half of everything was improvised ...especially paddys stuff....

You were meant to be a monster... now I'm the fuckin beast.

Shane Meadows seems like a cool bloke.
this interview tinkers on the verge of spoilers :P not that anyone watching this online hasn't already seen the film...
Cheers got it. cool film...
Just seen it it's awesome (dead mans shoes )
This was an amazing movie

The drug scene is possibly the greatest ever done. topping Easy Rider by just a bit. Sorry Dennis.RIP..
Never knew Jamie Oliver was a presenter who didn’t sound like he was representing Wales in a flob comp
Shirt and trackies
nice cinematography- I, myself, am using hand-on-knowledge to start doing shorts. The problem is that I only have a small mitsubishi standard camcorder-
Any ideas Shane-
p.s. Great work Period- Thanx
wat a fukn movie, really brilliant!!
good film ,5 stars
Taking LSD with gangsters, thugs, psychopaths & nutters isn't good.
You only reap what you sow...what goes around comes around.
Naurgh
Does anyone know what happened to the bloke who ran off ?
He got killed, he was in the suitcase
@Ivansmith6 He ended up in the suite case.
Anyone who romanticises drug use needs to see the scene where Richard executes the gang in this film
Is Matlock 'the Midlands'?
A town in The Midlands, yes.
this shane meadows film is , the idea of hitchcock -----the auteur theory -shane has each shot in his mind beforehand. 1 vision---pre-determined.
Ta duck" great
No movie will ever come close to this movie in revenge genre
"Bull" starring Neil Maskell from 2021 comes close.Amazing stuff.
this film as dark as it is.
@weirdcitykid or just someone who doesnt let fame go to his head
Stuart is thee bell end of brie.
this movie could only have been made in England. Hollywood would have ruined it.
yeah i keep watching the intro over and over again and telling myself it aint real. bit like the boogie man not being real...the problem is he is real.
Some bloddy heartbbreaking scenes too.

Best British film since Quadrophenia
yeah lip15, unfortunately it's becoming more common, and the laws dont work right to protect vulnerble people. peace x
With a little more time and thought this could have been epic,death came too easy ,they should all have been guided by Richard to how Anthony felt in the end it would have been poetic .
how dare you.
check out Romper Stomper if you want darker.
