Guest johnny hart Posted November 8, 2014 Share Posted November 8, 2014 Two ways you could have made this movie; Primero, an musical, "Mama Mia" fullof fun and frolics with Jedward and Katie Price in the lead roles. Segundo; As a stark , gritty, realistic northern drama [Willy Russell,Saturday night Sunday morning ,etc, etc ] Lainie Constantine chose the latter and what a total triumph it is! It mirrored 70s working class life;poor education , poor housing no hope. The music became secondary to the powerful narrative of the superbly acted and crafted story, maybe the snotty spotty anoraks will whinge and whine; Marvin was out of synch, the gear was the wrong colour, two much motown,[what a nice tribute to Edwin,"Time" and "Backstreet"] For a first time major movie ,to bring it all together in such a way is nothing short of a miracle , Hail Emperor Constantine ***** Star.

Stephen T Posted November 9, 2014 Share Posted November 9, 2014 I agree. It's a triumph. Really enjoyed the film. If I was 4/5 stars in anything in life I'd be triumphant too. It's easy to point and find fault in things that other people have gone to a lot of trouble to actually do and leave a legacy. 1 Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...
Pete S Posted November 13, 2014 Share Posted November 13, 2014 after adding up and dividing etc etc the average score given to the films by us members is 3.7 stars out of 5 I think that's a fair result 3 Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...
Guest fairspares Posted November 22, 2014 Share Posted November 22, 2014 overall a very good film , having left school in 1979/80 became a mod then discovered northern soul there were many parts in the film that took me back to those early days, oh and i couldnt stop tapping my feet throughout the film.

Nsg Posted November 28, 2014 Share Posted November 28, 2014 I've recently watched Soul Boy again and I've warmed to it slightly, as I did watching NS teh Movie 2nd time round I really think if you mixed the good bits of both Soul Boy, NS the Movie and Paul Mason's Culture documentary together with a "backdrop" ( pardon the pun ) with Mr Parmers '70 work you would be onto a winner !
