Too many people complaining about the content of this film


Everyone is on here complaining "oh, i don't think they should show the dog being killed" "can't believe he killed a poor innocent dog" "this movies too glum and depressing". I apologise Paddy Considine didn't 'Hollywood-ise' a movie about an drunk single man living in a council estate. He did exactly what any good director or writer would do, show the harsh brutal truth of this situation, people do get drunk and become violent when they are poor and struggling to get through life, living on the bread line, people do find themselves filled with rage when they are poverty stricken, angry at the world, they would take it out on inanimate objects if it was the closest thing to them. It does not surprise me at all at the killing of the dog. Maybe all these people complaining have never come face to face with people from a council estate, or been in one, maybe its too far away from their well off lives and they don't like to see the harsh truth. Well i am from one myself, and i am proud Paddy Considine, a great young talented director and writer, showed the brutal reality of life in a council area in the UK or Ireland. Movies aren't to please you're beliefs, whether they be against animal cruelty or whatever, they are to convey a message or show a way of life and i think Tyrannosaur delivered on both fronts. Congratulations Mr. Considine, well played. I thought this movie was excellent, a solid 8/10 from me.

Honour the Gods, love your woman, protect your country.
