Sure, they make points about economic realities and social hardship but the real focus of their anger is the loss to humanity, the snuffing out of that spark of life burning inside Liam.This article's plot summary may be too long or excessively detailed. Around him, Loach and Laverty paint an all-too-credible portrait of modern-day Britain, with whole communities trapped in a dead-end existence. He's a cheeky, dignified, loving boy who is caught in a no man's land between a child's sense of fun and an adult's sense of burdensome responsibility.
SWEET SIXTEEN MOVIE FUK MOVIE
The Scottish teenager carries the movie like a veteran, drawing us right into the tragic heart of Liam's dilemma. To this end, Sweet Sixteen is raised high by a storming debut from Martin Compston. That's why Loach is at his best with My Name Is Joe and Sweet Sixteen - the films aren't about issues, they're about people. Laverty is the perfect collaborator for Loach his politics are just as passionate, but his eye for character is tender and true, which helps soften the polemic. His observation of the difficulties facing working-class communities in areas of high unemployment brings heart to the drama in My Name Is Joe and Sweet Sixteen. His former career as a human rights lawyer in Nicaragua fuels the politics of Carla's Song and, indirectly, Bread And Roses. Laverty's writing has given a distinctive voice to four of Loach's films in the past six years. But to think that somehow it all falls together without anything on the page is a misconception that was happily blown out of the water when Paul Laverty won the Best Screenplay award at this year's Cannes Film Festival. Granted, the authenticity of Loach's work is rooted in the performances of the non-professionals in his cast. Hands up if you believe Ken Loach films don't have scripts, that the actors just improvise dialogue as the camera rolls.
