That makes sense actually
Lads getting excited about someone dying who pretended to be a very tough soldier in a movie.

The batle scenes were filmed in the now demolished Beckton Gas Works, better known as the filming location of the video for “D’You Know What I Mean” by Oasis.

Was looking shook the last few years. There was a BT & The Mainliners LP at home growing up. RIP big man
The final scene was a profound a statement on war. A bunch of brutalised, traumatised ordinary kids, heroes and criminals singing mickey mouse: Lost childhood, a longing for home, a shared experience, the absurdity of their experience, tragedy, the juxtaposition of two cultures, innocence, guilt, suffering, death and hope. It was all there in a few seconds. It was nothing short of extraordinary.
