Bill Forsythe, The Local Hero, 1983 Quite a good film with a very beautiful nature of the Scottish coast. A certain American oil company set out to build an oil terminal on this beautiful shore in a convenient bay, for which it sent a representative there to buy this territory, believing that it has Scottish roots (because of the surname), and this will help him in solving the problem, in fact, his parents adopted this name after emigrating to the United States from Hungary. Everything seems to go smoothly, until they encounter an obstacle in the form of a local supposedly homeless person living on the beach, who, it turns out, owns the entire coastline. There was not without a Russian character from Murmansk, who is fishing in those parts, who has an October star on the lapel of his jacket, who deals here quite successfully with the help of a local lawyer with some financial issues. The film, however, is so leisurely, without any special delights and problems, but quite human and kind. By the way, some of the British realities present in the film are valid to this day - we traveled quite a lot along their coast and not only (though not in Scotland, but in the counties of Dorset and Hampshire). The fact that quite a large part is a no-go zone, i.e. belongs to the army, there are often ranges and shooting ranges, and military planes flying in the sky were observed regularly when the daughter’s family lived in Farnborough, once during an excursion in one park they got directly to some powerful fighter training, which they performed on a shaving flight (you can imagine the sound!) right above our heads. So the army is there everywhere.
