Themes (relocated due to unverified claims)

The following text (under the header "Themes"):

In keeping with Leigh's other films, Nuts in May serves as a commentary on many of the daily issues faced by many people, in this case with particular emphasis on neighbour relations. Keith may have the full weight of the law on his side when he reprimands the other campers for their thoughtless, and sometimes reckless, behaviour, but he lacks the compassion, communication skills and understanding of human nature required to have them willingly acknowledge their mistakes. Also, while Keith becomes irritated with almost every human contact, others seem to be able to deal with others without these problems. 'Better than being at home, innit', utters Finger to Honky after one particularly fierce bust-up that leaves Keith incandescent. This particularly resonates since Finger, a plasterer, has already confessed to Ray that, because of the shortage of new housing, there is little work available. The couple find peace only when they pitch their tent in a farmer's field, away from other people after Keith, snobbishly, has told the others to 'get back to your tenements'.

Keith and Candice Marie have a parent-child relationship, and appear not to have any form of sexual relationship at all. Candice Marie – who works in a toy shop – takes on the role of the innocent child; one who needs looking after and who is constantly confused and intrigued by her surroundings. (She composes little poems and songs, and goes to bed with a fluffy blue cat-shaped hot water bottle called Prudence.) Likewise, Keith assumes a paternal role, planning out their trip with almost militaristic precision, also keeping himself physically fit by following the Royal Canadian Air Force exercise system.

Living Outside the Box

Yet again - as with The Good Life - the BBC seemed to be taking aim at anyone with an alternative way of living/thinking. For is not the subtext of Nuts in May that anyone attempting to break free really need to laughed at or presented as mentally unstable?91.110.75.123 (talk) 16:02, 26 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]
