The Full Monty

Recommended Posts

My fav scene in that film is the one where the ginger fella is trying to top himself but his car won't start. The other two passing by helpfully give him a hand to get it started and then realise two hundred yards down the road what he is up to! British dark humour at it's best!

 

Kev.

I also like the one where theyre in the middle of water and try and act casual as that bloke walks past.

 

You know the cinema it shows the inside of at the beginning. My brother watched the full monty there said it was very weird being in and watching a film watching a film there at the same time.

I love the bit when they are doing their pelvic thrusts to 'Hot Stuff' while in the dole queue,without realising what they are doing - classic stuff! :lol:

 

I can now never hear that song without picturing that scene,& that is a sign of brilliant film making 8)

As I watched it again last night, I spotted all those little tiny moments of humour - very clever writing! When Gaz wants a jacket for the funeral and Dave asks 'what colour?'. And the bailiffs trying to take Gerald's furniture and them all stood there in their boxers telling them to get lost; and when they buy Gerald a little wooden cart from the junk shop to say sorry for wrecking his job interview. :lol:

And throughout all that, the sadness of Gaz's situation with his son and Gerald lying to his wife. Very poignant :(

Do you think the language is a barrier at first? I've heard people say that there is too much swearing. To me it makes it more authentic - as a northerner (admittedly lancashire rather than yorkshire) it just sounds so familiar and real.

I love a good British film, with clever humour like that. Full Monty is brilliant. I watched a bit last night, but sleep got the better of me.

 

Calendar Girls is another witty film, and I love anything by Mike Leigh - Secrets and Lies, Nuts in May, Vera Drake etc. Some not quite so light hearted, more social realism.

This is my favourite bit too! :lol::lol::lol:

 

I also like the bit where the bigger built chap, (cant remember his name) wraps himself in clingfilm in an effort to lose weight and then eats a chocolate bar!

:lol::lol::lol:

I have to admit to having a soft spot for Robert Carlyle, he was good in Eragon, he's not my usual type but I think it is the bit of rough thing :roll:

 

He was scary in Eragon!

 

Anyone been watching the thing on Sunday nights? Don't ask me to rmember what its called... :oops:
