YOU SEXY BEAST

ray winstone's lying in the sun

ben kingsley comes to stay

an acting lesson and no mistake

ray is trying to keep his cool

ben is having his say.

 

"no no no you can't say no

you piece of fuckin' shit,

i'm 'aving fuckin' none of it"

says kingsley (looking fit)

 

"I can't " says ray, "i'm off the job"

ben says teddy wants him

more swearing etcetera

ray is flummoxed so it goes on

 

and as we watch we wonder why

ray never took to crime

instead of acting as himself

a hundred per cent of the time.

Thanks much appreciated Jon. I love the film - there's just such great acting from Kingsley and also Ian McShane that Ray seems like a kipper. The film works with him though, and we just imagine how he feels instead of seeing it on him imo. This is the second stab about English films I've done, the other one about Get Carter some while back!(not the Stallone version).

Cheers . Ray

Hey Ray
The title of this caught my eye and I love the movie.
True what you say about Ray Winston.. essentially the same character always but still he's a bit of a national institution ?..love the last bit ; we wonder why Ray never took to crime, instead of acting as himself a hundred percent cent of the time.
Nice one.
(Cheers for comments on The Sea dog too Mr )

Bang to rights David. I didn't have a clear idea how this would finish, often the case. I think Ray is a bit like London itself, impressive in a quiet way and a bit self contained. Acting wizardry he ain't . Apparently when he was a baby Reggie Kray held him over his head , only for Ray to piss on it. I believe that.

Thanks Martin, appreciated. A lot people know that by the way.

I agree with David. Ray Winstone is always playing himself. Just like John Wayne.
Nice one Ray
