Many of you May have heard of the movie "Harry Brown" (as a British film starring Michael Caine), and many of you have seen May be a cheap rip-off Britain Clint Eastwood's 'Gran Torino' . However, after seeing the film twice now, i can assure you that the cheap rip-off it is, instead of being one of the best films of 2009 (the last decade), which contains one of the best actors ever to grace our screens.
The film basically follows the main character (Harry Brown) who lives in one of the worst estates in England (right in the heart of the 'Elephant and Castle' in London). Harry and his neighbors are tormented day and night gang of young men that seem to run riot without fear of reprisals and police intervention.
If you are from England and live in England for a meaningful time (especially in the suburbs of a big city), then you will no doubt be familiar with what we call 'chavs'. Chavs are basically scum of society that no-hope teenagers with nothing better to do than hanging around on street corners (or in this case the film, in the underpass) and abused by everyone who walks past.
I think a large part of the appeal watching Harry Brown is seeing Michael Caine (who is, after all one of the greatest actors ever to the country) had been beaten by a group of chavs because they killed his best friend. They say that movies are basically just a fantasy, and I know many people who would love to do what Caine in this film, so they find the experience of watching almost therapeutic.
