This book offers an opportunity to reconsider the films of the British New Wave in the light of forty years of heated debate. By eschewing the usual tendency to view films like A Kind of Loving and The Entertainer collectively and include them in broader debates about class, gender, and ideology, this book presents a new and innovative look at this famous cycle of British films. For each film, a re-distribution of existing critical emphasis also allows the problematic relationship between these films and the question of realism to be reconsidered. Drawing upon existing sources and returning to long-standing and unchallenged assumptions about these films, this book offers the opportunity for the reader to return to the British New Wave and decide for themselves where they stand in relation to the films.

Billy on the Balcony is a story of courage, inspiration, and determination. Following brain surgery and a triple heart bypass, William John Beattie received the devastating diagnosis that was to change his life: "You have vascular dementia" (a progressive, debilitating cognitive disorder). Nightmares of a slow descent into unknowingness haunted him . . . until his fighting spirit refused to accept his ordained fate. He would not allow his children, grandchildren, and other family members to become faceless strangers.Watching the world in isolation from his balcony during the pandemic, Billy ultimately rebelled and declared it was time to "reclaim his name." The forecasted signs of mental decline did not manifest; Billy still read half a dozen books a week, handled all the household finances, and organised large family holidays. And so, this mental health warrior demanded a review of his condition-and got on with living his life.Billy returned to his passion of writing poetry, often poignant but always with a twist of humour. He is a triumphant example of refusing to accept the inevitable-Billy reclaimed his name!

“:” When meteors strike Earth, destroying every major city, the fallout is immediate and devastating. Surrounding towns and smaller cities survive the meteors but are thrust into an apocalyptic nightmare. The survivors quickly realize it was not meteors that destroyed the major cities; it was a deliberate and orchestrated attack from above. The power quickly goes out, and cell phones become useless. People begin to loot and kill for basic necessities. Survivors from across the country must now survive not only the attack but each other. What is left of the US population is trying to get to an Air Force base in the Pacific Northwest that is rumored to be operational. Before they can organize anything, extraterrestrials begin showing up to take care of the surviving human population. Most of the surviving humans are killed, but a select few are spared and taken onto the mothership. These are what the aliens are calling "the Chosen Ones." A few of the chosen ones happen upon some sinister things the aliens are doing to humans aboard. The aliens eventually reveal their plans for the human race, and it does not sit well with anyone. The aliens have the upper hand. The humans are trapped with no way of fighting back. Any resistance is quickly met with deadly repercussions. Three brave survivors hatch a plan to destroy the mothership and hopefully save humanity. No matter if they succeed or fail, the human race will never be the same again. Life on Earth will forever be changed.

Look "Within" and see what happens when a conspiracy theory turns conspiracy fact and five patriotic friends: An ex-special forces E.R. physician, a conspiratorial minded Internal medicine doctor, a first generation American Electromagnetics PhD candidate, a veteran Jacksonville homicide detective, and a self-actualized, grounded silver spoon banker, combine their skills to expose the con game of government secrecy. Watch as our champions of the Constitution frustrate and render irrational, corrupt American bureaucrats that belong to an anti-American coterie called the Chapter of Death. These sell outs get to pick their work to be sure but the groups motives are hazy at best. Crony capitalism does have an established name, fascism. In the long run, the protagonists are out to put an end to that before it puts an end to America and the villainous “chapter” can turn its page to one world governance.
