What is my favourite film and why? Out of all the films I have seen I do not think that I could name a particular one that I could call my all time favourite. One film that I enjoy watching and have done so recently is Love Honour and Obey. The film follows the members of a London crime gang over a short period of time showing both their working and home life. The film has one main story line and several mini story lines that run side by side flicking from one to another every few minutes.

This keeps your mind on several different topics at the same time and so consequently makes the film interesting and not at all boring to watch. There are some hilarious scenes that are just so funny to watch that they can be watched over and over again and still stay funny even though you know what is going to happen next. The film manages to make violent scenes such as stabbing and kidnapping funny to watch, which I imagine is very hard to do. I think that Love Honour and Obey is one of the most original films that have been made in a long while. The actors keep their own names for their characters, so that Ray Winston is called Ray in the film, and so on. Throughout the film a main character called Johnny is seen every so often narrating the film and telling you information that is relevant to the storyline.

He is dressed in a clown's outfit that makes you wonder all the way through, why? It is not until the end of the film that you get to find out. There are a lot of violent scenes that have been filmed in such a way that they are funny, so that they almost contradict each other. It leaves you wondering if it is violence or comedy. The gang warfare fights are also filmed in the same way and not one person is killed even though there are a lot of guns being used and the rounds are flying around horizontal rain! The characters in the film are all likable, even the ones that are considered as the baddies.

They range from the toughest man in North London who is a large and overpowering man who commands respect to the little podgy man that every one picks on and laughs at. Even though the characters are all different they all come from the same sort of background and are in the same gang. It shows you how close they can be and how they consider each other as family. At the end of the film the main characters of two different gangs are gathered together in a last show down. That is what you think anyway.

This is the point that all the little things that have had you thinking all the way through the film come together and all is revealed and explained, the twists start to become clear and everything just falls into place and you cannot help but think that it was a clever film. These are the main reason that I have enjoyed watching this film over and over again and will probably watch it a few more times just so I can have a good laugh. All in all it has a bit of everything that makes a good film and I look forward to seeing it again..
