Hunky Dory (2011)
7/10
shockingly historically inaccurate but a good film
17 July 2012
Warning: Spoilers
shockingly ignorant of teenage pop culture, one of the students is asked for the name of a favourite band and mentions the ramones, the ramones would never have been known in the uk until the punk rock explosion came along following the sex pistols success which didn't kick in til 1977 so there is no way the ramones, a new york punk band would have been a consideration in south wales in summer 1976. also one of the main characters is dressed almost totally identical near the end of the film to adam ants pirate image which did not come along until the start of the eighties, a good film but so very historically inaccurate. somebody needs to scratch up on their knowledge of rock and pop culture.
