I thoroughly enjoyed it ... you have to get your 'ear' in though as it's broad Glaswegian with only some 'posh scots' accents. I think it was very largely an amateur cast. Posted Image http://youtu.be/NcQIvmR21VU Loach takes us through the mysteries of whisky making, exploring the subtle tastes and scents in ways that will have audiences wishing they had a dram at hand. But a glass also serves more symbolic purposes as a Scot’s birthright, the water of life, trickling down into the hands of those on the fringes of society. And if it’s not given, maybe they’re within their rights to take it. Like the charming 1949 truth-based comedy Whisky Galore, about a group of Outer Hebrides’ residents who claimed the 50,000 cases of Scotch (on the rocks, as it were) in a foundering ship’s hold as their patriots’ due, the crew in The Angels’ Share see whisky as a down payment on the future owed to them by their country. After all, what’s the angels’ share if not that small amount that simply disappears, escaping all earthly claims and destined only to benefit the unseen and unknown? |

Some do ... especially those from Edinburgh, or Perth and Fifeshire. |

Hey Thanks Kahu, I do have trouble with the Glaswegians accent, have lots of cousins there. I find that in Scotland as in Ireland the people who work away from home are a lot easier to understand. There are posh accents and there are others. I had trouble understanding my Irish cousins sons accent and commented on it to her, She said no worry we have trouble understanding him too. |

I had a friend from Glascow and for all the years that I knew him, I don't think I knew exactly what he was saying? Probably this is why our friendship lasted so long! friends.gif |
