DVD Reviews of Of Time and The City
DVD Review: Where have all the people gone?
Summary: 4 Stars
Having left Liverpool at the age of 18, back in 1974, much of the content of the film was touchingly familiar. However, the pretentious and somewhat precious prattling of the commentary is somewhat irritating; espacially in the first 20 minutes or so. Frankly, Scousers don't give a toss that the maker of the film had a problem reconciling his Catholicism with his sexual orientation. Boo hoo and big deal. The thing that makes Liverpool so exceptional among English cities is the character, wit and sheer bloody exuberance of its people. Seeing the crowds at New Brighton and pouring off the Ferry at Pier Head reminded me of the catastrophic decline in the population of Liverpool. Almost all of my generation just buggered off in disgust. Many of those left behind ended up in Cantrill Farm, Kirkby and other cheap and nasty concrete dumping grounds for the once proud inhabitants of this once great city. Militant Tendancy, Toxteth riots and thousands of Yosser Hugheses did nothing to convince anyone that the place was worth rescuing. Just remember all the fuss about the "Garden Festival" and then go and take a look at the sad wreckage that is all that is left of that early example of cynical political spin-doctoring. When I go to Liverpool these days (every 2 years or so) the place seems grotty, derelict and almost deserted. But the people are still among the best on Earth although, God knows, they have been let down badly. Snazzy new shopping centres and silly, money-wasting "Years of Culture" are no substitute for and cannot replace Liverpool's former greatness as a gateway to the world and a bustling centre of manufacturing enterprise. This film is wonderful nostalgia which really touched me deeply but it's time to stop wallowing in the past and move on. I pray for a sequel called "The Liver Bird Flies Again".
