I searched for "blue thunder whisper mode" hoping to find the scene where the whisper mode feature is featured in the movie, but I let this video play because I always loved the theme so much. I loved Daniel Stern in the movie. First time I ever saw him and he seems to embody the spirit of JAFU as he plays the New Guy. And I remember there is a scene with a police car with two officers one of which is played by an actor from North and South which was a big tv hit back in the 80s. The end of the movie is so good - Murphy gets his ex-wife to go through a trash can to find and deliver video tapes to a tv host.

I come back to this film again and again, the music is sublime and the gritty realism of the suffering of the coal towns and pit villages during the miners' strike, is another history lesson we should never forget. If Thatcher's Britain wasn't bad enough, how the 'eck did it get to where we are now, with mining towns voting Tory and vast swathes of the country choosing between food and heat. We have unions once again battling to stand up for the rights of working people in the face of capitalists who are stripping the railways and soon the health service of money to put in their own pockets. At least when Pete Postlethwaite's Danny needed hospital care there was a bed for him. Nowt now. I realise that since Empire, Britain has been in a managed decline, but God help us, now that decline is solely at the expense of the working class whilst the silver spoon brigade seem to have more brass than ever. For the environments sake, it might well be better that coal remains in the ground, and God knows it's better for the health of the miners too, but the decimation of industry after industry and the reduction of workers rights, the attacks on collective representation through unionisation, the barely living wages, the erosion of the NHS , it has to stop.

Well said Glyn ! always supported the miners, when they lost, we also lost the steel, the engineering, the shipbuilding, so the good people of the mining villages & some of the cities too lost their self respect & some the will to live.
@kingsfleet21 Жыл бұрын
I worked in the docks when the miners were on strike and we collected cash and food to help them through their struggle and this brings back poignant memories of their despair and suffering, but their pride and character never diminished. Proud to help the families in a small way.

Beautifully made. I am a native of Germany's Ruhr district; my father was a miner. In my younger days I used to play the trombone. To me, this is a heart wrencher in so many ways.
@G6JPG Жыл бұрын
Was the Blasmusik tradition similarly strong in German mining areas? I lived im Ruhrgebiet about 1966-7x, but don't remember it. But the effect of a mine closing is universal. The film was very much based on the true story of Grimethorpe (Schmutzdorf!) and its band (which continues to this day, as one of the best).
@ralfklonowski3740 Жыл бұрын
@@G6JPG It was, but competed with choirs and some more exotic things like accordeon or mandolin ensembles. Today the region even sports a pipe band. These groups were run by mines, factories, the church, carneval clubs, the local baker and butcher associations (famous for their choires) or often independently by clubs created for that very purpose. The last mine in my area closed five years ago. The only colliery brass band still in existence I am aware of (there might be others I don't know about) is the one of the former Consol mine in Gelsenkirchen, the Bergorchester Consol. Thanks for pointing out the meaning of Grimethorpe to me. Should have been obvious, but somehow wasn't. Greetings from the Ruhr!

@@ralfklonowski3740 I love the German language, hence the translation; just amuses me that anyone should actually _name_ a place that! ("-thorpe" is actually regional; the normal English translation of Dorf is village.) I know something of the choral tradition - after being moved from Dortmund to Mülheim, my father joined the local Polizeichor there. I look back on my time in the Ruhr with fondness.

I love this film. It is especially memorable as I worked in the Steel Industry at the time and had seen how Sir Ian McGregor had destroyed the Steel Industry and then moved on to destroy the Coal Industry. Some of it justified, but not their total destruction as engineered by Thatcher.
