His reaction seems to be one of worry that the boy will struggle, so he swims over, presumably to help but it becomes clear he's not needed and I felt Frank perhaps questioned in that moment if his challenge he'd set himself was really so significant - oh yes, a worthy message, that! there are always people in harder situations than our own but its no bad thing to have something which is a challenge for ourselves to aim towards in general, regardless, I reckon. One clear example of this (to me) is a scene in which Frank is training in the local swimming pools and comes across a disabled child with I think its called bow legs? who manages to get himself in the pool and swims well. There is very much a social commentary, or preach-y type aspect/feel to this movie, which some might not particularly like. Certainly dialogue wise, it seemed pretty authentic.
#ON A CLEAR DAY MOVIE MOVIE#
The movie features some moderate Glaswegian dialects and Scottish slang, which obviously is fine for me since im quite familiar with it, or certainly generally Scottish slang, since I live an hour outside of Glasgow myself.
I guess you could argue that its a bit like The Fully Monty, in terms of the plot, as its about someone who has hit hard times and doing something which to them is rather extraordinary, to put a positive spin on things, with the help, or moreso encouragement, of others. You can see people trying to read Franks body language and look out for him, even if they perhaps don't go about things in perhaps the best way, they have ultimately good intentions and I suppose its one of those movies where your reminded of the importance of having caring relatives and a couple of really good friends, as I suppose you never know when things you take for granted may suddenly be taken from you.
I liked the characters in this movie, I reckon it seemed fairly realistic in the reactions of others and how they spoke to him.
Its clear that Frank has a good network of friends and relatives that care about him and try to be careful around him, to not upset him and try to raise his spirits, although he comes across as quite a solitary person, not someone who would really open up and talk about things very easily, even to those closest to him. However, soon after it becomes really quite glum, with Frank clearly shown to be very unmotivated and lacking direction, wandering around the streets of Glasgow rather aimlessly, after he gets the news about being laid off. However, soon after it The opening titles or first couple of scenes of this movie have quite an upbeat, optimistic feel, with kids shown playing about on a beach with sparkly bright water and a brand new cruise liner being officially christened with champagnae and sent on its maiden voyage.
