Not a bad film but it would of been more of a success if people outside of Britain knew where Wales actually was. To appeal to an American audience, it should of been made in a country that people have heard of. I can then imagine it would of been a massive success. It just seems that every low budget British film uses Trainspotting as an advertisement to boost the interest.
shareWhy, or rather how, could anybody not know where Wales is?
You'd have to be an epsilon semi-moron not to have that Geographical fact imprinted from lower primary! I assume you have your tongue firmly implanted in your cheek her, so I'll give you a bit of leeway. I'm aware that some countries in the less civilised world do have less than ideal educational systems, and that even those with the benefit of a basic primary education can still slip through the cracks, or indeed have a below average intelligence quotient.
But nevertheless, to assume that your average American is too stupid to know the 4 countries of the United Kingdom is unkind, racist and I'm sure inaccurate.
If Americans didn't know where all the small, defenceless countries are in the world, then they wouldn't have anywhere to invade next to murder a major proportion of their civilian population! Worse yet, they might have to attempt invading a country capable of defending itself!
Oh come on! If this film was set in a country that actually had any real meaning on earth, it wouldn't be the flop that it is. I do know where Wales is and I know that the Welsh have a huge chip on their shoulder about the other countries in the UK due to not being as well known as the others. I mean really, what has Wales given to the world? And don't name actors or singers, I mean the culture in general.
shareIm astonished by your ignorance. I feel embarrassed for you. Perhaps the Welsh are descending into a miasma of irrelevance. Just like the British as a whole have been since the mid 20th century. Or North Americans since the millennium.
Should all irrelevant minorities be ignored? Should any cultural, religious or ethnic minority be marginalised, suppressed, concentrated, dispossessed, and as a "final solution" expunged both physically and from the memory as an irrelevance.
Seig heil, mein fuhrer. Let's all learn Mandarin & Cantonese & worship the cult of the darling dictator, or perhaps better yet swear allegiance to the caliphate. Anything but try to recall (or worse yet) acknowledge the ignominy of our own white trash birth, and the contemporary irrelevance of our culture.
And whilst you're at it, perhaps you could spare the time to research the origins of powered flight, the United States Constitution & Declaration of Independence, internet packet switching, radar, fuel cells, the vacuum tube and the blast furnace, to recall just a few. Welsh.
Idiot.
Too long, didn't read. 👌
shareChav. Can you read words of one syl la ble then?
shareYou know how it is. When an angry Welshman has a different opinion to you, you just have to go to a happy place and ignore them.
shareWho's Welsh? Not I. Not even British! Different island, different hemisphere.
shareI'm not sure if I believe that...
shareWell, I did visit Wales once. Briefly. Summer of 1984. Lots of mine ruins & water too cold to swim. I remember doing some cliff climbing in the SW with some Territorial Army lads, & getting locked out for coming back too late & too pissed to the youth hostel.
shareUK master is an idiot of the first order. He was actually knighted Sir Dumb-a-lot.
