Movie review. The Englishman Who Went up a Hill but Came down a Mountain. I decided to watch even tho it had hugh grant
I grew up watching all those 40s and 50s brit B &W movies, the Powell stuff, all the war stuff, the david lean, the lavendar hill mob/ealing stuff, anything and everything from rank and elstree studios. I watched The Corn is Green and that movie based on The Citadel ( about coal miners )
And none of them were as fucking twee as this.
a town full of genuinely nasty people and they made it cute
and yet there is some real pathos here, these towns really were hit hard by the tragedy of lives lost in wwi
This movie was filmed with a grant from the EU. The town where this was filmed voted leave in Brexit. Now there is no more EU money to help support backward towns in rural Britain. .
100 hobbits indeed
PS, some lovely cinematography , also big music for a little story
