Absolutely agree! Northern gritty suspenseful grim violent love revenge story! Paddy is of course amazing in this role but also the supporting cast are excellent! Neil Bell, he plays the character Soz who gets 'shut off' He along with all the cast are incredible.

The threat sceene between Paddy & Gary is a great acting sceene

When Richard and Anthony (well, the memory of Anthony) talk about Richard coming to the school the dialogue is very revealing. Everyone held Richard's hand, but Anthony didn't. He 'didn't have to'. Richard was embarassed by Anthony and told him that he didn't have to, knowing that his borther was simple enough to accept this and that it would save him from having to publically take ownership of the fact that he's related to this 'spastic'. He ultimately considers himself to also be a monster, except that he chose to distance himself from Anthony instead of tormenting him. He doesn't just revenge against the small-town 'gangsters', but also his past self, who failed to be a big brother.

Paddy Considine is amazing in this and a Room for Romeo Brass. Shane Meadows and Paddy wrote this about various real life experiences where people in their area got away with bullying and abusing vulnerable people.

Something that always 'gets' me in this movie, is the hidden journey that Richard takes in his relationship with his brother. It's _also_ part of the twist. At the start we see Richard & Anthony engaged in simple reminiscences, where we learn how much Anthony loved and was proud of his big brother. OK - Anthony's a lovely kid - we get it. However, at the end we learn 1) that Richard hated him. He hated his 'spastic brother' who was a 'fur-king embarrassment to me' and more importantly, 2) that Anthony _died_ quite a while before. What?? Suddenly the penny drops. All those cozy reminiscences between R & A, were actually Richard coming to love his (deceased) disabled brother. He realises what a lovely kid he was, and how much Anthony adored him. Richard gives away a twinge of shame during the 'When you came to my school' reminiscence. Maybe Anthony's school mates were ALL disabled. They marveled at Richard who was brilliant at running and football, and they all held his hand - which Richard obviously didn't mind, and probably enjoyed - the adulation. However, Anthony _didn't_ hold Richard's hand. Why not? My guess is that at that time, Richard viewed Anthony as a 'fur-king embarrassment'. There was a slight awkwardness during the reminiscence when that fact was remembered. Anyway, on his journey, Richard learns to love Anthony, and exclaims that right at the end, in the cupboard where Anthony hanged himself. Richard proclaimed himself a monster, because HE didn't stop Anthony being bullied. Richard washed his hands, joined the Army and effed off away, leaving Anthony vulnerable to those despicable pigs. I think that's why Richard couldn't kill that last guy, because he'd done nothing worse than Richard - just stood to one side and let it happen. A tremendous story from Paddy Considine. An incredibly moving horror story. How does that even work?

A beautiful movie. The reveal that Anthony is dead hit me so hard the first time I watched it. I love how the movie is very dark but also funny and extremely moving.

An exerpt from an article about the film: The actor then noted that the idea for Dead Man’s Shoes came from a time when he and Meadows were talking about the kind of malevolent occurrences that had gone on in their Midlands hometowns. “They were kind of atrocities, but they’d gone unnoticed and unrecognised,” he said. “Horrible things had happened, but they’d been done in the name of leisure almost.” “We started talking about incidents and thought, ‘Well, nobody ever really paid for that. Those guys are still going around today,'” Considine added. “[There’s] the idea of the brother coming back after ten years and kind of making the basic bones of it as a revenge movie.”

These early Shane Meadows films were so raw and authentic and so evocative of emotion and tension and atmosphere, they are both classic films that will stand the test of time. The foreboding medieval music goes so well with many scenes in Dead Mans Shies.

the paras were born from the commando movement in WW2. Their entire ethos was to get in without being known, be as brutal as possible, cause absolute carnage and disappear. the moniker of government trained killer is a bit of a meme these days but that's exactly what these lads were/are.

Another example of good violence. Ray Shoesmith would be proud.

The way Richard (Considine) is dressed, is near enough exactly like John Rambo in First Blood. Combat boots, jeans (albeit flared in this case), M-65 field jacket (the army jacket choice of nutters) and his kit bag.

Been waiting months for this 😊❤

Such a great film, especially if you sort of recognise that type of community. Small town, poor, poverty, lots of drugs, lots of assholes, really rural and full of cruelty between enemies.

None of them are bopping to the same beat. 🤣

Yaaasssssss!!! Not nearly enough channels have reacted to this! It's mint.

Gritty british film by Shane meadows the way it's shot on a Midlands estate makes it feel real as we all know places and sadly a few characters like that , love in my top ten favourite films

Remember watching it for the first time many years ago vastly underrated film .

I've watched this reaction twice now. Good film. Good person. This film was made in 18 days. Was originally going to be a comedy and lost the lead actor weeks before filming started, Not Paddy. In those 18 days they filmed alternate scenes with Richard and Anthony. They would film the same scene with them both in and then with just one of them in the scene.

Whenever you kept asking why are they doing this? Whilst being theatrical from a movie standpoint taken to the extremity of actual death, the dialogue performances and cut scenes were very articulate in terms of accurately portraying life in poorer communities in the UK around the 70's and 80's. When I first watched this film, I remember thinking, "Oh, so the Midlands were scarily similar to Yorkshire!" It's an accurate portrayal and revived some older forgotten incidents from my childhood years growing up in that kind of minefield myself.

Love this film. The switch between humour and drama is so well handled.

One of my most favourite movie.

The term that was written on the wall was "Cheynes-Stoking" which is a pattern of breathing that indicates imminent death in terminal patients. He's cryptically telling them that they're taking their last breaths.

The grime and grit of working class midlands life is evident in every frame, the arbitrary nature of justice and the personal nature of revenge illuminate every scene. Paddy Considine has never been better, the cast of amateur/ part time actors reacted to every motivation perfectly. Like Kes crossed with Falling Down and Unforgiven. Magnificent achievement.

The holding the hand part hits real hard. He told his brother he didn't need to because he was ashamed of him. Such a fantastic film.
