Reply to comment by WinterWindWhip in The Decline of British Blue Collar Stories On Screen: 25 years since NIL BY MOUTH first hit screens, Gary Oldman’s film has become a relic of a time when working-class stories were major cinematic events. What happened? by Bullingdon1973

Are you suggesting films in the past weren't greenlit by rich dudes?

When did Friedman do the thing? 72 I think it was. WWII was a near death experience for the world that led to an era of egalitarianism for a time, but the greedy never give up.

Maybe suggesting the dude in the past was just less rich. Or the rich dude didn't do it but someone normal did it for him but still took all credit.

The class divisions in Britain used to be much worse than they are now
