1. I think Jackie is about 40 years old but he looks older that I think he is.He lives with his 2 boys and his mom in a small house. His wife past away before the film started and he really miss her. I know he miss her because he is speaking a lot about her and he don’t know what to do after her dead. In the film he suddenly smashed his wife’s piano because Billy is playing on it and I think he smashed it because it reminds him about his wife when Billy plays on it. He doesn’t have much hair, but the hair he has is white and his eyes are blue. He is very frustrated because he doesn’t know what to do to make his kids happier. He is striking with his eldest boy Tony, in that hope that he will get more money but at the end of the film he starts working again and people calls him a blackleg because he is giving up, but he is doing it to gain money, so he can buy a ticket to London, and he feels much better with himself.
2. I know that the strike is a follow from the crises in the small coal mining town Durham in England in 1894, but I also know it is about 1979-1990 because Thatcher was Prime Minister in these years. You can also see it because the cars aren’t like now but they aren’t very old, the furniture in Billy’s home is not like furniture is right now and the clothes they are wearing is a little old.
