Another typical British film. Reminds me of the "Six Heroes of the Light Pig" I watched many years ago. A group of lovely people in a British town either came up with a lovely idea by chance, or they met another group of lovely outsiders, so the warm plot was staged. It's just that there are too many characters in this one, and in the end, the portrayal of each person's image is not full enough, and there is only a small fragment of history left to support. If the camera shakes a little bit, it can be seen as a documentary.
Broadly speaking, it can also be regarded as a gay movie. However, the director obviously has a very special affection for this group. The gays and lesbians in the film are not only cute, but they can be regarded as saints. They and they were able to respect themselves in the face of all the cynicism and sarcasm from the outside world. When they first arrived in the town, they put their faces on their cold butts, and they were not discouraged. Instead, they always had the heart of a saint to redeem the world, and faced the indifference. face and embark on a hopeless ice-breaking journey. Fortunately, the townspeople there still retain their goodwill towards foreign guests, not to mention those who came from afar to help them. It's just that I can't stop thinking, if, if the miners in the small town didn't encounter such a survival-threatening strike problem, under another innocuous encounter, would they be able to slowly open their arms to accept and embrace the group of people from London. cute person? What is the meaning of the tightly clasped hands on the flag fluttering in the wind in the final parade of the movie? Is it the protagonist's whim at the beginning of the film that the striking miners and the gay and lesbian men of that time are comrades-in-arms persecuted by the same enemy, or is it a symbol of mutual recognition and respect between the gay community and the heterosexual community?
