Meantime (1983) - Lift Scene

[@lilmissrockchick4962]

Rosencrantz and Guildenstern were quite different in their youth

[@victorymansions]

Oldman has too much affection in his eyes for this role.

[@leighbennett1961]

Thats the whole point. He's a soft boy trying to be hard and show off. It's all an act.

[@LaWendeltreppe]

@@leighbennett1961 And Roth is just the other way round, he is tougher than he himself thought. ;) PS: Mike Leigh is such a great director, even in his early work.

At the beginning, the street sign says How's St. How's Street is in Bethnal Green in East London, just north of Spitalfields and near Shoreditch. And the canal where he says 'ah carnt git froo' is the Limehouse section of the Regents Canal, which is also in East London, around Limehouse/Stepney. East London has changed quite a lot in the topography and a lot of the older buildings have been demolished or replaced, but the residents that lived in Bethnal Green and Limehouse etc back 35-40 years ago have largely moved out to the suburbs and they have been mostly replaced by very different types of people.

Trevor would have taken Coxy to the f*cking cleaners.

[@weekenderTone]

Did you see the ending to Made In Britain? Trevor was a wimp.

[@vicvega24]

Tim Roth's acting in Made In Britain is way better than Gary Oldman's

[@Fullprops]

That doesn't compare too well, those roles are very different. Even though the haircut is similar, of course ;)

[@kalliopidananaki5498]

Love Tim Roth but .... nothing/noone compares to Gary Oldman

[@vicvega24]

Gary Oldman would've been great in EastEnders in the 80's

[@napalmslayer]

Of course his sisters been in it for 20 years!

[@Sarah.Riedel]

Gary Oldman is high asf

Next time skip to Colin arguing with his dad. You can repeat that as many times as you want to boost your mood.

[@chetonabaaz7298]

He can give hardtime to those godfather actors

[@LaWendeltreppe]

My English really is not so bad, but I can't understand a single word of what they say. lol

[@collapsedsynapse]

It’s not you haha, I’m American and I had to listen closely

[@Fullprops]

Your English is not bad, but not good either. Not suitable for this, no offence :)

[@steveblundell7766]

Nothing wrong with your English, the accents are difficult enough to follow, but then you have the characters using slang terms and they tend to mumble a lot due to the realistic acting style. Also, the black guy talks in Rasta/Patois at some points

[@royalhero4608]

Why do they all pile into the lift like that lol

[@wrmty56413]

It looked like Coxy was deliberately blocking the Jamaican guy from getting in - so he pushed him with his pram. Colin was just trying to get in before the door closed

[@Fullprops]

All very easy to see, right.

[@samuelesdrucciolo]

Can somebody tell me which kind of language Is when the man with the hat screams after Oldman says : " want to hear a joke...." ? I am very curious to understand It!

[@Fullprops]

It's kind of English and easy to understand. Come if you think you're bad and all that. Black stuff, right. Anything else?

[@samuelesdrucciolo]

@@Fullprops Thanks a lot! i thought It was another idiom. It wasn't meant to be as a provocation I'm sorry.

[@steveblundell7766]

The language he uses is Rasta/Patois. Oldman uses a racial slur as part of his joke which is what leads the man with the hat (Hepburn Graham) to whack Oldman. I'm not sure what Graham says first, but it sounds like "call me anything but that". But then he speaks in Rasta/Patois when he calls Oldman "a dirty, peel-head raas" (which I think means 'a dirty, bald-headed arse')

[@wesleywild-s9x]

It's a broken English called patois which was kind of diluted with more English by the younger Windrush generation . The older guys took me at least a year to understand their conversations

[@Shiteoutlander434]

This way of speaking has spawned a whole new patois, 'metropolitan integrated english' which is now used by both black and white kids in poorer, mixed areas. It's a beautiful thing.
