Don’t mourn, organize – Ken Loach

29. august 2011

Apropos foregående indlæg – mere af samme skuffe:

"I think the underlying factors regarding the riots are plain for anyone with eyes to see … It seems to me any economic structure that could give young people a future has been destroyed. Traditionally young people would be drawn into the world of work, and into groups of adults who would send the boys for a lefthanded screwdriver, or a pot of elbow grease, and so they’d be sent up in that way, but they would also learn about responsibilities, and learn a trade, and be defined by their skills. Well, they destroyed that. Thatcher destroyed that. She consciously destroyed the workforces in places like the railways, for example, and the mines, and the steelworks … so that transition from adolescence to adulthood was destroyed, consciously, and knowingly.

"I don’t recall the nihilism among kids now, 40 or 50 years ago,"

fra et interview med filminstruktøren Ken Loach

    Jeg har altid været en stor fan. OgsÃ¥ sselvom penslen har været bred, symbolikken til tider tyk, slutningerne møntet pÃ¥ at give klumper i halsen og løgsaften har sviet i øjnene. Men der er ogsÃ¥ humoren, selvkritikken og selvironien. Filmen ‘Land of Freedom’ er unik i senere tid – alene emnet…

    @Gowings: Og sÃ¥ er der sÃ¥ larmende fÃ¥, der tillader sig at have den slags holdninger pÃ¥ film…
