Last night I went to the cinema and watched comedy Marching Powder featuring Danny Dyer in the lead role. It's about an absolute and total loutish chav who loves nothing more than taking drugs, getting into fights (especially at football matches) and being a bit of a criminal who tries to go on the straight and narrow and doing right by his long suffering wife and child, failing miserably, bless.
The standout feature of this film which made it hilarious for me was the swearing in it which I had no idea about going into it. It was a total swearfest. I mean seriously, the S-word, the F-word and especially the C-word, were sprinkled like confetti throughout the movie right from the opening line! It never went more than a few seconds before there was another in-your-face swear word. They never said the N-word though, which likely would have been a step too far due to its racist meaning. Everything was described as F-this or C-that etc and in the thickest of cockney accents, too. Unsurprisingly it's an 18 certificate, so not for little Johnny or Janet until they grow up a bit.
I'll definitely be watching it on Sky Cinema when it comes out and take in all that glorious poetry once more!
If you're wondering what marching powder means, it's a euphemism for cocaine, which featured rather a lot in this film.
Finally, I'd love for someone who gets terribly offended at this level of swearing to go and watch it and see if they run out screaming. Now that would be funny!
