I have just watched one of the funniest and moving films I have EVER seen. This film is fantastic and very touching. I urge you all to watch it. Here is the preview. It is based on true accounts of how the miners and the gay community came together. What a wonderful testament to humanity.I come from a mining community, my father, and grandparents were all miners. And as I am a gay man, this film was very profound for me. I also remember, as a teenager watching Margaret Thatcher say ' There are children growing up in Britain today who THINK they have the unalienable right to be gay'.Her government brought in section 28 which forbade school teachers or government organisations for giving support emotionally or sexually to gay people who were not allowed to sleep with people of their sexual preference until they were 21. Heterosexals were allowed to sleep with people of their sexual preference when they were 16. I was actually living the life of a criminal. I was sleeping with members of my own sex when it was illegal. I got away with it. I will always remember Margaret Thatcher and her government as being repressive and damaging. A disguisting person who we now know actually prevented known peadophiles from being caught out. An utter disgrace.
janesgems7 Sorry for the late reply.Absolutely ! I agree with you wholeheartedly. Yet we have shown what we can do- and not alone, but with good friends who are from all walks of life and sexuality!
He’s extremely talented. Can take on any role and any accent (Andrew Scott told him that it was the best Northern Irish accent he’s ever heard - and he’s Irish)! I’d put money on him at least having an Oscar nomination, if not a win, in the not too distant future. Definitely one of the most talented actors out there and arguably the most talented actor of his generation.
god the cast was fantastic... ben schnetzer, george mckay, bill nighy, imelda staunton, freddie fox, andrew scott, faye marsay, jessica cunning, dominic west and everyone else were so good
Thank you so much for sharing this video. After seeing "Pride" for the fourth time, I realize more each time why I find it one of the most important films. We understand with this interview how much it is because of fantastic and beautiful people.
I absolutely love this movie, and everything it stands for. But how they talk about social media, it's just not true. People are coming together because of the internet and people do stand up for causes. Look at the Vlogbrothers and their Project for Awesome and Hannah Hart with the Have a Heart Day, where people actively go to foodbanks to volunteer. And I wish they would read this, but I know they won't, but I do hope they will become more open minded about this subject and with them anyone from their generation.
I do understand where you're coming from, and absolutely think it's great that people like Hank and John Green, Hannah Hart, and others are encouraging young people to learn more about the things going on in other parts of the world, or even just in their communities, and give back :) But that said, I also think there's an important distinction to be made between charity and activism. I think too often these days, there's a common attitude that the way to make things better is to raise lots of money or volunteer at food banks, etc., and I don't want to minimize the fact that those things are very necessary. Money is of course absolutely necessary, and of course people who don't have meals for the day need food. But I also think it's really important for people- especially young people- to recognize that those things aren't what is going to make lasting, fundamental change to actually SOLVE the problems going on in the world. Raising money is only as lasting as what it's actually being raised FOR; that is, if a bunch of money is raised to, say, help build a school in a third world country, that's certainly a needed thing, but it's not going to change the underlying system that keeps those people in such dyer poverty. Or if someone volunteers at a food pantry, that's again something that's certainly needed, but it's not going to change the underlying problem that all these people aren't making enough money to be able to survive and have enough food to begin with. To make that fundamental change, it has to happen on a larger political level- it has to happen by people coming together not just to raise money or do charity work, but to be *activists*. To get out in the streets and physically demand the changes that need to be made so that the people who are being exploited or abused, whether it be economically, socially, or otherwise, can put themselves in a better position for good. And that is the part where you just can't cut corners by trying to use social media. Social media is a great form of consciousness raising, but all the petitions and all the fundraising campaigns in the world can't take the place of people actually physically coming together and demanding political and economic change. So do bring it back to Pride: when LGSM was raising money for the miners, they weren't *just* raising money, but they were doing so to contribute toward an actual physical action- the strike- being able to continue so that the miners could achieve better working conditions, higher pay, etc. And I do think social media today has made it a bit too easy for people to feel like all they have to do is make a donation to a charity or sign a petition and their work is done. But in fact, the charity mentality over the activism mentality can be what allows those who have the real political and economic power in the world to maintain their power while others continue to be exploited. Social media isn't an inherently negative thing, not at all, and again it's a great way to spread awareness of the injustices happening in the world! It just can't ever take the place of on-the-ground, grassroots activism, you know?
That is real solidarity . Not only in movies. Who was the solidarity for a united Irland by the Union in Blair are? no funny music? 💚🍀🎶🐝☮. Okay, but Pride ist a great movie. Class! 👏👏👏👏👏👏
Amazing Film.... do not miss it.

Michael Walton Yes - what a reveal.
It's always those who shown their prejudices loudly who are the most hypocritical.

Good story, great cast, excellent writing... and it's a true story..give it an Oscar pleeeease!
so touching this film。
Ben Schnetzer an excellent performance. And a very convincing English accent for an american.
Northern Irish accent actually, but I do agree it was good.
I see, thanks for advising me :)
tardisland he did a really good english accent in the riot club
Northern Irish accent is very very hard to do, he blew me away in the movie
He’s extremely talented. Can take on any role and any accent (Andrew Scott told him that it was the best Northern Irish accent he’s ever heard - and he’s Irish)!

Bill Nighy speaks so eloquently!

I absolutely can't wait to see this movie!

Hate how the host thinks England is another word for Britain.

Not all of us. Love Bacon!
