Gangues de Londres

The irony of 'robertc-42326' complaining about the director being unable to speak the Queen's English, yet has the most atrocious grammar and use of syntax that I have ever seen.

'Blue Story' is a good film. It is somewhat cliched but nothing more than other films of its calibre. I wonder if those calling for the banning and censorship of it want to censor mob films and violent video games too?

So we get it you don't like a movie coz it made the headlines....but did you even watch the movie.

Hear me; for those who haven't heard/don't know a bunch of kids in a city of Birmingham in the UK brought some knives and had a huge gang fight and one of the Major Cinema chain knee jerked reaction was to pull the movie nationwide.

Now came the reactions, TV, radio, print media everyone was talking about it and mostly white middle class people who had no understanding what black (London primarily) urban kids have to go through in their lives. Instead of understanding the core of the story and what it was addressing they point out " how loud the movies goers were" or "how London black kids's music this and that".

The reality is knife crime is high in the UK, Gun crime in America NOT JUST black people kill each-other ALL RACES DO! Just coz you don't get what challenges a certain ethic group goes through don't give you the right to be critical and prejudicial or dare I say it ...., which sadly it's undertone has muddled the message the makers of this movie were trying to get across.

So watch THEN JUDGE OR DON'T either way.....

It's sad 2019 and it's like when Boyz in the hood came out last century....SAD!!

A bit dull to be honest, I am not the target audience for this film and I felt it, the whole thing seemed to be in a different language to me, all slang, and if this is any representation of today's youth then we are in real trouble as a society

The plot for this movie was okay at best. It could have been better. I could get behind some of the characters actions, although they were wrong. However, Rapman showing up every 10 minutes and rapping was awful. It took almost everything good away from the film. He didn't say anything to help the film he just came on screen and said things like "that's peek" or just told us what we had already seen. This just made the film a lot dumber and more like a PSA than a complex character study it could have been if this time was spent on the actual plot.

I can't believe more people have rated this film a 1 than a 10. Reading some of the recent reviews I actually felt like I've watched a different film to the one people are describing (btw I haven't). The film was incredible and deserves way more credit than people on here are giving it. It's the best film I've seen in a long time and I have watched A LOT of films recently. The film is accessible, whilst it focuses on gang violence it essentially focuses on a friendship and the relationship between one of those friends and his girlfriend. I found the film very moving. Rapman is unbelievably talented. The acting was amazing, the entire film was engaging from the very start to the very end. I will be telling everyone to watch this movie.
