'Dead man's shoes' a Shane Meadows film about a soldiers revenge on a gang of thugs who terrorized his mentally disabled brother.
Released in 2004 it gives you a deep insight into rural England, and how illegal drug deals don't just happen in the cities.
'Dead man's shoes' is a wonderful example of the reality of criminal activities, and not just the stereotypical movie, example of professional gangs, in major cities, for example the film 'Get Carter'.
Shane meadows rebels against the ordinary techniques of filming, like over the shoulder shots, and also he seems to rebel against using a steady cam to keep the camera still, instead the camera moves about quite a bit as if it is a home movie, but the contents of the film gives you the impression of a proper British film.
The Violence of 'Dead man's shoes' makes the viewer enticed into the action, and suspense, it reminds you of the violence in other British film for example 'Shaun of the dead'.
One iconic scene in the film which I think outlines the key point of the whole film, would have to be when Richard , asks the last man to kill him, it makes the viewer think why he has committed all these murders in completely different ways, just and then have the last man kill him.
Finally Shane Meadows gives the viewer a realization of a violent British film, where it goes against the normal contexts of films, for example some scenes feel like they are home movies. Another part shows you that the Gang is not like a typical citiy gang with smart suits, rich buildings and smart black cars, instead 'Dead man's shoes' shows you the gang as being, rural citizens with a tiny old car. Lastly 'Dead man's shoes' gives you a deep insight of the emotions of the characters and how they turn into cowards.
