My wife dispises this film due to going to that school after the fact and the school drumming into the kids every chance they got.
Having lived in cumbernauld for a time myself it is hard to watch. All o can think Is that path doesn’t go where they landed in the next shot
I imaagine that’s a pretty small town, no? That may be the most noteworthy thing that’s happened there in some time. Nothing ever happens in my town so I bet a movie would be huge here.
And, yeah, the magic of movie making, eh.
It’s hard to quantify size as its very spread out. I grew up in a village a few miles away and ut was wierd watching creep ever closer. I wouldn’t class it as a small town though but yeh fuck all happens there.
