And in case you didn't get the reference from the last post:

I think the most powerful scenes in Brassed Off, which still ranks amongst one of my favourite movies. I've talked about it on my LJ before, but these scenes are why I rave about it. Stephen Tompkinson and Pete Postlethwaite at their very very best.

Stephen Tompkinson plays Phil, one of the miners who plays in the Grimethorpe Colliery Band, under the stern eye of his music obsessed father Danny.

Badly in debt after being imprisoned for striking in the 1980s, he becomes a clown for children's parties, but fails to prevent his wife and children walking out on him. After his father is hospitalised from black lung, Phil appears to be on the edge of breakdown.
