What has Wayfaring Stranger got to do with a Scottish farming community?
Who was responsible for misspelling Auld Lang Syne in the closing credits.
The cast could not even sing Auld Lang Syne properly.
It is not “For the sake of Auld Lang Zyne”

the 19 seconds of this movie’s theme song (played on NPR’s ATC after an interview with Terence Davies) sure sounds a LOT like the riff on which Mark Knopfler built the score for Local Hero. Did Galtzing borrow from Knopfler, or did they both borrow from some ancient Scottish folk tune?
I would have enjoyed the movie much more if the dialogue was understandable. Dubbing would help as a great deal of the story was lost.
As someone once said, “Me thinks you complain too much!” How anyone can complain about this movie must be a city brat! This is a beautiful story about a poor farming community in Scotland…NOT NEW YORK CITY WHELPS!!!
