Hunky Dory (2011)
shockingly historically inaccurate but a good film
shockingly ignorant of teenage pop culture, one of the students is asked for the name of a favourite band and mentions the ramones, the ramones would never have been known in the uk until the punk rock explosion came along following the sex pistols success which didn't kick in til 1977 so there is no way the ramones, a new york punk band would have been a consideration in south wales in summer 1976. also one of the main characters is dressed almost totally identical near the end of the film to adam ants pirate image which did not come along until the start of the eighties, a good film but so very historically inaccurate. somebody needs to scratch up on their knowledge of rock and pop culture.
Ratcatcher (1999)
one of my claims to fame
I know you don't get many comments on here like mine but there is actually a kid in this film who is based on me. When i was little, other kids said i tied a mouse to a balloon and sent it to the moon, although it didn't really happen and the other kids were just twisting things for me, this is where lynne ramsay got the idea for the kid in the film who does the same, i knew lynne well, her brother james, who acts in the film was my very first friend as a small child at school, we grew up together though drifted apart. i don't just like this film, i adore it, it brings back memories for me personally. thank you lynne, and if anyone wants to contact me try my email, it is dostoevsky75@hotmail.com thanks x
