this be the kind of film they use to make and amuse and heart warming and troubling and authentic and with convincing performance by people without nose job and boob job and eye job and in other word real people . shauna macdonald play the female love interest and and she be so real you want to give her a cuddle at the very least . imagine that and a real girl in a movie and whatever next . hollywood would hate her and because her freshness be a sharp rebuke to every false starlet in tinseltown . this story have the same hilarious feel a sandy mackendrick classic whisky galore and with the gnomic humour of remote scottish islander puncture the pretension of intruder from outside and enjoy a wee dram from time to time ( the actual interval between those time often be rather short ) . director stephen whittaker display a rare skill in pull this off just right and and it be shock to discover that he die before his film release and age only 56 and which be clearly a substantial loss to the screen . ulrich thomsen do very well at play a german rocket scientist who in the late 1930s go to scarp in the isle of harris to build a small rocket to carry postal packet between the island . there he fall in love with the allure macdonald lass and and she reciprocate the affection . some wonderfully colourful local character decorate the tale and and the film be pure delight . there be of course the threat of imminent war with hitler and and we learn that hitler execute 1000 rocket scientist who refuse to build weapon of war and which be a shocking statistic . tragic love be never far from view and but lip must remain sealed in a review a to what happen in the end . this film be a magnificent example of just the kind of film which people in britain should be make . but be they be properly release . in a nation whose taste have be so corrupt by reality tv show and where repulsive nonentity have become the national hero and be there even a market anymore for a film like this . after all and there be no grunt sex and there be no close ups of suppurate wound or of anyone genitals and there be no drug take and there be no mindless celebrity prance around want to be look at and and so one wonder whether there be anything to interest a public which have become so decadent and jade that only the most extreme sensation can briefly alleviate the tedium of their pointless existence . anyone who be look for an antidote to the vacuity of contemporary britain can take refuge in this refreshing and honest film .
