Whats the point?

Well, speaking for myself and, I imagine, a good few others, its the somewhat futile glimmer of optimism that some people out there who are either on the fence or subscribe to the Conservative party's cutthroat philosophy may have something of a heart or an open mind to consider things from the point of view of the many people that suffer in reality as the characters in this film do. A bit naive sure, but it comes with the passion.

Well said Philip, I have seen the trailer and it looks like a bag of crap.

The film is a waste of time. Watch any documentary. Any benefits reality show and we get how some people are struggling on benefits. No need to make a crappy film about it.

Plus the guy in the lead role really irritates me. It would really top the crap if he and the younger woman sleep together.

Love on the dole. Give me a break!

Whats the point? "Yes a worthy film for sure"

Answered your own question?

Wildlife populations have decreased by 67% in the last 50 years, but all you ever hear from the virtue signalers is them bleating on about a few chavs on benefits.

People like Ken Loach need to get their priorities sorted out.

The point for this film is the point or every film to to send a message to the world, this film is made to teach people a lesson, literally.

Chav has a different meaning depending on where you are from.

North of England def of Chav: Hostile lazy loiterer who only affect the civil morals of society in a negative way.

South of England def of Chav: Same as north of England def.

Conservative South of England def of Chav: Anyone from the North of England.

This film was made to teach the people who have authority over the country, that most of the people on benefits do not want to be on them. It shows that they aren't hostile, lazy loiterers who affect the civil morals of society in a negative way but people who need help.


-AND BEFORE YOU CAST JUDGEMENT ON THE FILM...ACTUALLY WATCH THE *beep* THING.

Don't be like Damien Green MP. He hasn't seen it, but he does have an opinion and authority.

That's always been the problem ... and still, I don't think it's pointless. I haven't watched this movie yet (I didn't 100% like last one i watched, Jimmy's Hall ) but as far as I've read, this kind of movie at the very least strenghtens your awareness, makes you think that you HAVE to keep fighting, that simply you can't afford to give up

What is the point?

The point is this film is based on FACTS.
