Happy-go-lucky is definitely one of the movies that got stuck in my head for a long time after first seeing it.

It, obviously, confronts two opposite type of people, two opposite worlds – one bitter and one carefree.
The thing I liked so much about this movie, besides the amazing acting of Sally Hawkins and Eddie Marsan, is the Leigh’s intervening in the middle of the movie. The homeless guy Poppy meets and wants to be friendly with gives the viewer the message of the movie. As a some kind of a judge he comperes these two worlds and declares the ‘winner’ of the duel, although he is actually talking gibberish.

The confrontation climax is agressive and violent as the nature of it really is and it was carried out very well.
