I feel so betrayed. What a cowardly little *beep* Cant remember ever being this pissed of at a tv character before.

I am guessing you never have had REAL enemies. People who for better or worse you wanted to see dead. I have never been beaten to an inch of my life but I have been in situations where if I saw certain people even 20 years later I would have such intense hatred and not be thinking straight I would not know what i would do. That's life and that's the world Shane MEadows deals with. Having Milky and Combo shake hands and have a beer together would have been a total cop out.
If you want feelgood British filmaking with happy endings go and watch a Richard Curtis film.

To be honest, somewhat agree but look at objectively . I somehow feel he was pushed into this decision. That it wasn't all his idea but his uncles. You could see he had remorse when combo was taken away.. He knew strider away that it was wrong (even before when he seemed hesitant on the phone).

I think if it was down to him they would have had just a cup of tea, talked, and let by gones be by gones

Blade ive had real enemies in my life. Not people that beaten me to an inch of my life but manipulative, calculated sociopaths who made my life *beep* at times. I would never forgive them. Neither did i except or think that milky should. What people decide to forgive is entirely up to them.

Neither did i say that i didnt like the ending or that it wasnt realistic. The fact that Meadows managed to make me this is upset is proof what a great filmmaker is.

As much as i understand milks hatred and unwillingnesto forgive combo, that still doesnt excuse it. What combo did to him was despicable but atleast he owned up to it by taking him to the hospital and serving time.

Milk took part in premeditated murder. He condemned Combo to a long, painful death. As much as i understand his hatred, theres no going back for him. Hes gonna be dead inside from now on, and he *beep* deserves it.
