I think this is a brilliant film, absolutely illustrating and explaining why I, as a Remainer, feel as I do – and, in watching it, I began to empathise with the people who voted Leave – a situation I’d have said was impossible to empathise with! At the beginning, I was almost embarrassed to say the reason I want to Remain is because I am a European. I love that I have European heritage, that Moliere and Racine enrich me as much as Shakespeare (well, almost!) and Austen; that the glory that is Siena is as much mine as vitality of Liverpool or the inspiration of Oxford – that the breadth of vision that is Europe informs my thinking more completely than the UK alone. I miss it and I hurt, even 7 years later –
So yes, it was terrific in showing the different types of damage and hurt and hopeful in ending with a sense that maybe things could change again – Bravo!
My only quibble is that your very last sentences felt wrong, inadequate to what you’d taken on – it was a bit too vague, too ‘pie in the sky’ – What were you aiming for? It must be more than a history lesson, mustn’t it?
