I thought this was great. Very interesting and loved the look. Felt a little long, but definitely tv ready. Big GL!

I have to say, even though I am more Canadian, I feel more British than the British do...where's my citizenship?

Hot water bottles? How does that work?

Just like yoof tv used to be... not having a dig, cos I liked it.
I Just wonder if it's the right structure for a new generation and a new way of 'doing' TV?-

really enjoyed this. phone call with mum was certainly a highlight for me. GL!
-
I actually quite liked this, despite (or perhaps because of) being Scottish. I thought it could have done with a tripod in a couple of places but a good subject and some nice "effects". The phone call to his mum reminded me of a tv program that I can't think of the name of, that puts audio of crank phone calls to animation and stuff.

great humor. GL!
-
I like all the different angles and locations, good job keeping it interesting.

being patriotic is confusing and most people now feel ashamed if they are.........i guess the UK is in a state of slow decline and so i can see where this guy is coming from!!

Hi Sam,
Great idea for a pod, well executed. Good stuff.
I would be very grateful if you could look at mine and give me your honest feedback: The film is under 3 mins.
I wonder if you have experienced this 'issue' yourself ...
link look forward to hearing from you.
Cheers,

Ha! I loved this. A worthy and humerous angle on one of the biggest issues (and red herrings) that plagues society today. :) -=zen=-

This really speaks out to british people, i may be only 14 but i see how many people have lost pride in their country and don't live with traditional british ideals. I hope to see more pods like this from you.

Good to see an unpretentious view on Britain, without the prevalent clichés.

Sam,
Nicely done. Some of the sound is difficult to understand, especially the bit at the Iraqi Embassy. But I liked your honesty and willingness to "take it to the streets."
It does point up a deeper question, though, and I certainly feel this way, myself. Perhaps you feel a sense of shame and powerlessness at the direction of your country, considering Blair and Bush's reckless strategy of "pre-emptive war."
Just a thought.

I think Britain, and all countries open to immigration, are works-in-progress really. If a country were totally insular it may be easier to define its fixed character.
The upper-class notion of being English is probably very different from the lower-class, but I've seen both types very proud to be "British" (which ironically keeps the class system entrenched).
Maybe there's a sense of loss and longing for the traditional notions of what makes up the English character.
Maybe the filmmaker's uncertainty is a good thing. Perhaps it's part of a maturation process as we shed iron-clad ideas about who we are, while our society evolves into the uncertain future.
Multi-culturism may be both desirable and inevitable.-
