We saw Lymelife last night — another film where life in the suburbs is marked by great unhappiness.

It’s a good movie, well written and well acted. The production values are cheap, but they suit the material.

But the film is set in the 1970’s and the filmmakers have one of the brothers join the Army so we can see the mother fret about her son getting killed in the Falklands War.

Apparently, the filmmakers didn’t know that the Falklands War took place in the 1982 and it wasn’t an American war, but between the Brits and Argentina.

I suppose one war fits all.

At least they didn’t have him going off to the Crimean War to fight alongside Montezuma over control of the Strait of Hormuz.
