Born Equal

What did you think?

I thought it was excellent!!

I know they said they filmed it without a script... How did they know what to say??? Very clever, I thought. Really realistic.

Has to be one of the best things i've seen on tv for a while, amazingly realistic.

Loved it.

It didnt touch my heart - you could see it would all end in tears. It should have had a redeeming feature.

I missed the last couple of scenes, Robert went and stabbed Mark? Michelle is in ante-natal ward crying with new born baby? Mark dies in the meantime? Mark's wife is crying in ante-natal with new born baby?

then you didnt miss it, that was the end bits. Was great I really got into it.

I was really looking forward to it but was very disappointed. I found the characters weak, storylines very sketchy and it was so stereotyped and clich�d. When I first watched Cathy Come Home I felt so involved and although I found it distressing I just couldn't turn it off.
And although I watched Born Equal to the end, I could have easily turned off as I didn't find it compelling at all.

Good acting though.

I missed this but one film which has really stuck in my mind is The Search starring Montgomery Clift. There wasn't really a script for this film, Mongomery Clift was left to say what his character would have said in many of the scenes. An excellent film if you ever get chance to see it.
