I’ve not always been one for movies; I find my attention span usually prohibits me from concentrating any longer than say, half an hour. I like documentaries though, I like the real life element, I like the real life situations – so when this landed in my inbox I thought I’d share.
“Co-directed and produced by Andy Capper and Leo Leigh, Swansea Love Story is about the largely unreported heroin epidemic in South Wales. The film is an intimate look at the lives of a gang of young addicts, their families and their surroundings. The film examines how unemployment, the breakdown of the family and the nature of love contribute to the dilemmas faced by a group of young people.
The film follows Amy & Cornelius, Lee and Leanne, Clint, Kristian and Wills around their daily lives as they struggle to get money to buy drugs, alcohol and for places to live. During the course of the film, characters get clean and relapse. They fall in and out of love. We meet their families and drugs workers. We meet their dealers. We meet members of Swansea’s mining and docker community who tell us how the city has changed. In place of industry there’s myriad bars, strip joints and cheap booze outlets. Racial tension often spills over into public protest and violence. “
Whilst I’m not working, I gotta fill my time to ensure I don’t end up doing insane things like sitting at home with my flatmates dressing up as Lady Gaga…
Hmm might be a bit late on that one.
Anyway, here are a list of some of the lovely things that keep me occupied.*
Trying to figure out why they booted Keisha and Mutya from the Sugababes in the first place – Um hello, you dickheads, you got rid of the only two decent ones. Heidi is alright, the one that always goes to rehab is pretty hot, but not very talented – and who is this new one and why does she resemble a giant pile of blah?
Listening to Florence and the Machine. See here:
Googling how to make Maltesers.
Being crude on twitter.
Painting my nails only to have to use the bathroom or put pants on mid way.
I love Primark. I think everyone here does. The only problem with that place is that while it’s cheap, you can bet that about 94325894 other people are wearing the same shit.
