Whisky Galore! review

Posted : 3 years, 10 months ago on 22 May 2020 03:53

(OK) Eerie Ealing, long live MacKendrick and his debutante skill for exploiting a good theme/anecdote woth social, geographic, ethnic background. Greta bit chatacters, as hard mom of coastguard. Radford is great as heroe/enemy of people...

A good movie

I wasn’t really sure what to expect from this flick but since it was on the ‘1001 Movies You Must See Before You Die’ list, I was quite eager to check it out. Well, it turned out to be a rather odd movie praising the virtues of alcohol, especially whisky. Sure, it was all rather innocent but it’s difficult to imagine making such a movie nowadays (in fact, they did remake the very same story a couple of years ago but, unsurprisingly, it was quickly forgotten). To be honest, I have to admit I don’t have much knowledge of the Ealing comedies. I mean, I did watch ‘Kind Heart and Coronets’, probably their biggest classic, but I was only amused at best so I can’t say I’m really into their kind of humour. With this movie, the tricky thing was also that you pretty much knew everything that would happen from the very start so the main (and, as far as I was concerned, only) thing  to enjoy were the colourful inhabitants of this small island. I have to admit that these characters were indeed quite entertaining but, to be honest, they were barely developed at all and I still wonder how Scottish people feel about this movie as they were portrayed as some massive alcoholics who can’t live without their daily doses of whisky. Anyway, to conclude, even if I wasn’t really blown away by the damned thing, it was still a decent watch and it is definitely worth a look, especially if you like the genre.
