Somers Town is the first film that i saw fully in black white. and to be honest it made no difference it just gave a better atmosphere to the film for me. the story line is interesting with 2 boys from different clutures mixing together trying to get one girl. It was funny at times but sometimes it just when on to much and got boring. the story line wasn't strong enough for me, it was too free and wasnt't well structered. It was all over the place! if the fim had more too it and had more of a story line than just trying to get a girl, maybe my mind would be changed. it needed more to it, them just chassing after a girl for me wasn't enough. the black and white film didn't change my mind of the film it was the story line. the actors were fabulous and the setting was chossen well but over all it was the story line, its a shame i think it would of been a good film if it had more to it!
