I loved this movie. What I liked about the movie is that the message was quite subtle. It just leads the viewer into these daily rituals that the main character gets into and the people he meets and their general contentment.

comedy? no. this is a masterpiece of life ...

Cannot forget to add that Mark Knopfler''s languid, moody soundtrack so effortlessly carries the film. It is an inseparable part of the experience.

My mom wanted to see this when it was released in 83. I was 12 I didn’t want to see this. I watched it again 5 years ago p. Best movie ever

And one of THE best soundtracks in movie history.

I loved this movie when it came out. It made me feel like when you are on the greatest vacation ever and don't want it to end.

I have to watch this masterpiece at least once a year - probably seen it about 30 times. The dialogue and soundtrack are etched in my mind.

What a title. The two trendiest words in the world, joined in a whole.

The saddest moment is at the end--when Mac gets back to his big-city condo and starts taking the seashells from his coat pocket. Mac seems sort of Boon from _Animal House_ ... but now pushing 40 and youth spirits long forgotten.

And the ending track...Going Home is now the unofficial Scots National Anthem--played over and over at the Edinburgh Military Tattoo!!!

Parts of the film were filmed in Pennan.

Very good content, far too less views 🙌

Don’t forget Gordon is portrayed by Denis Lawson, aka Wedge Antilles from Star Wars.

To this day I cannot bring myself to watch this film. And that's because one Sunday afternoon, years ago, it had just started on our television. On that day I had THE WORST migraine I've ever had. Had to go to hospital with it. Any time I see this movie mentioned or anything related to it, I vividly remember that damn migraine...

Great movie. Another film I like, not as good as Local Hero but still very good is “The Field.”

Based on the '70s oil terminal in Orkney bo doubt.

Let's assume you're not an AI review, which given the date of your inception seems unlikely, then I'm going to say what I say on so many of these things



PAUSE!!!!
BREATHE!!!

DON'T TALK ten to the dozen!!!

Allow the viewer/listener time to absorb what you've said.

I assume that you worked out your narrative and that it took you more than a few mins to do so - then WHY would you squander you efforts by racing through your



SLOW DOWN

[OK so i just watched a more recent one of your videos, (BTW I like them, my comments come out of a position of admiration not dislike) and your pacing is better but you definitley still need to pause at the end of sentences. I get the self imposed "time limit" thing but that really means losing a section rather than creating a rushing feel.]
