Yes. Me too.

I grew up in Halifax West Yorkshire. When a youngster brass bands would come round the council estate I lived on, in an area called Siddal. Us kids would follow behind them as they played. It was such a treat, I miss those days.

[@MB-ys1uw]

[@sburgesshd75rg]

The BEST film ever made............ emotional...real.....honest..... true......if you were there at the time you will know what i mean.......... the whole cast were truly fantastic

[@paulwheatley4770]

its a a very british film that the yanks will not understand

[@ralfklonowski3740]

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]

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]

@@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!

[@G6JPG]

@@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.

[@1pavlusha]

I agree with all comments - great piece of editing. The film is a piece of genius. If Europeans ever criticise the Brits for lack of culture or soul, I always point them to this film. Postlethwaite's speech at the end is incomparable, and let's face it guys, Tara Fitzgerald looks stunning! This is the best piece of music in the film, IMHO

[@rameuplatonov6221]

Their culture fin, brits called to be have crude method on science is when victorian era

[@erinheim54]

A blend of immense sadness, outright positivity and faith in humanity and each other. All well reflected in this great music played brilliantly.

[@johnlennie2657]

I recently started to learn how to play the Great Highland Bagpipes, at 60. Now I`m 69 and, this, is the most inspirational music I have EVER heard. FANFUCKINTASTIC, please excuse my French

[@michael7286]

As an ex miner ( coal face worker ) there's no holding back the tears.

[@phillipcooperUK]

I’m not a miner or connected to any of those communities but feel the same way.

[@cityboy9301]

I can listen to this over and over and over again. wonderful

[@kingsfleet21]

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.

[@keithcapper6699]

One of the best pieces of music ever written or ever will be and this is one of the best recordings and a wonderful film to boot. Emotional every time.

[@karmelicanke]

Rodrigo and his wife Victoria stayed silent for many years about the inspiration for the second movement, and thus the popular belief grew that it was inspired by the bombing of Guernica in 1937. In her autobiography, Victoria eventually declared that it was both an evocation of the happy days of their honeymoon and a response to Rodrigo's devastation at the miscarriage of their first pregnancy.[1] It was composed in 1939 in Paris. source Wikipedia.

[@ofbullet]

RIP pete postlethwaite - best band leader i never had!

[@nickweir4628]

Thanks for uploading. The late and great Pete Postlethwaite. Good movie too. He had great intensity and also great generosity..

[@TheRickie41]

Very beautifully cut, couldn't be better caught, the spirit of the movie is better related than any trailer could have done it. Bravo!

[@duncanpohl6773]

A really sad - but excellent, moving film - with absolutely gorgeous music! I love it all. And the William Tell Overture at the end is about the best one I've ever heard. Gorgeous Gorgeous Gorgeous

[@flashtheoriginal]

I'm in tears. Wonderful, just wonderful

[@steveooutdoors9506]

So was I when our local village pit closed. Devastated families and communities which are still not right today.

[@robertfletcher4065]

This Film demonstrated the ''TRUE GRIT OF THE MINERS''. I was born in a Mining community and recall the generosity of such People.

[@kopynd1]

when the pits closed the whole community was destroyed through out the country, I have never been a miner but I have lived in a mining area for over 30yrs, and when I think about what the area is like now, hopelesness the community spirit is none existant,excellent movie RIP Pete

[@marksmith2276]

I agree with all the comments about the loss of community. I was born and raised in a mining village in Kent. Father was a miner and my grandfather helped sink the shaft. When the pit closed the village died. To find work we moved away. I was lucky, eventually my family moved to South Wales. I spoke to one person talking about my journey to here and he said I was coming home. How very true.

[@ianjones5792]

Played in a number of brass bands in the North East England and watched the mines close around me. Never again will I hear both the sound of a brass band and the pit wheel together as one.

[@glynburtt]

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.

[@markmanc-zw3td]

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.

[@philcutler-evans1932]

Brilliant film showing the true british humour and way of life how we used to live and the music is fantastic

[@Seal00754]

Seems like History will repeat itself, Pits last time, Hospitals this time. They took on the Miners and ruined a country. RIP Pete you made this film a Tribute to all those who it was about. God Bless.

[@sirmartinfrobisher]

I’ve just revisited for a cry. I come from Altofts but now I live in Poole, Dorset. Why? because in 1959, mum and dad sat me down one day and told me the truth. Dad worked at West Riding colliery and they were expecting early closure, there was a possibility of work at the new Selby field but they both felt that coal was finished. They had got jobs as trainees with Hampshire County Council but needed my support at the enormous change. They took the offer and it was sound, as you know, Selby was a flop. Relatives kept us in touch and for me, Brassed off was a massive reminder of the dirt and filth. Mum and Dad had done all they could to stop me going down the pit. I was very lucky because of it.

[@kar2ouche]

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.

[@h4tchetman]

this peice of music i first heard as a young boy, it still lives in my memories an plays, i find myself humming it sometimes

[@mickthegardener]

Great film and reflects the despair of that era with raw emotion

[@gerardomoonshine4984]

If that doesn't touch your heart, you are not human. 😍

[@Ikonicre]

The movie in a nutshell... Very well edited! The soundtrack of Brassed Off is so perfect.. I saw it last night but I think I'll watch it again tonight.

Nice creation here. Excellent music in an excellent movie.

[@lemorstud]

every aspect of this film is a tribute to every thing British from the pits to the bands and of course the humour and the actors and actresses

[@robertsswann7012]

the humour there was nothing nothing about this film or what happened to the miners is the was fucking heartbreaking R.I.P to all miners who lost their lives down the pits and R.I.P coalmining

[@keithbonner6835]

True so true

[@cogidubnus1953]

Brilliant film...and Land of Hope and Glory at the end is just awesome

[@kermitefrog64]

Beautiful music. This movie is a tribute to all the miners and their families who were sold out by the government and the greedy mining companies.

[@OKwoteva1]

Fab! Must watch this movie again, very moving music for a very moving story. Thanks for sharing:)

This brought tears to my eyes. Again and again. Salute! 👏

[@Pendaws]

Right instrument as well, Flugel Horn. This makes me stop and think, it takes me back to my years as a cornet player, alas I can no longer play. Thanks for putting this here

[@bobmirdiff2043]

Even though it was written as a Guitar Concerto, the Brass Band Arrangement makes further MAGIC! I can play this on the guitar and it always makes me cry, when I play it! - Rodrigo (the composer) was also Blind, which makes this even more remarkable!

[@AenesidemusOZ]

Beautifully done, Sinbad. 😢

[@alvarexter]

Great performance of a great composition. Saludos desde España

Never forget that films like this are a reminder of the men and women whose lives were trashed by the economics of greed and avarice. Dressed up by Thatcher and company as national pride. Men like my dad.
