1. Overlooked & Underseen: Red Riding: 1974 (2009)
Oct 23, 2017 · A series of novels revolving around group of murders in the Yorkshire area of England from 1974 to 1983.
In the first of the trilogy, 1974 is just the tip of the iceberg in terms of how dark the Red Riding series gets.

Reading is important and people don’t do it enough, again myself included. It does seem to me, holed up out here in my Tokyo bunker, that the affluent societies of the East and the West lack any form of direction or guidance, that we are simply spinning in a moral void. Where religion and government […]
3. The Wolf (Spoilers) - Red Riding: The Year of Our Lord 1983 ... - MovieChat
What I found from reading online is that the character of John Dawson, in the film, was a composite of two or three characters from the Red Riding book series.
Ok, I know that
Rev Laws was the Wolf
John Dawson was the Swan
John Piggotts's Dad was the Pig
but who was the Rat???

5. Well-done, but convoluted (SPOILERS) - Red Riding

I admired the 3 films' scope, their terrific period detail, and the fine performances, but I have to say I found the story and the screenplays incredibly convoluted. In fact, I'm still not sure who did what to whom and why. Did all three films make sense to anyone else out there, and tie together in the end? If so, perhaps you could shed some light for me.
For example:
1. Who was actually the ripper? Were Sean Bean and Peter Mullan working as a team?
2. Why was Rebecca Hall killed by Sean Bean? Did she know too much, and if so, what?
3. Why did the cops storm the nightclub after the reporter had killed Sean Bean, and kill everyone else?
4. Who killed the ex-cop and his daughter--and why the daughter?
I think perhaps the ambiguity of the films was the point of the storytellers: sometimes in life, there are no answers as to why things happen. That said, ambiguity has no place, in my humble opinion, in a "policier." It is tailor made for the existential genius of an Antonioni picture (BLOW UP being one of my all-time favorites), but imagine what a train wreck CHINATOWN, or even THE GODFATHER, would have been had they run on ambiguous engines. It just doesn't work for me.
I'm going to have to chalk RED RIDING up as a wonderfully noble failure in my book because of these things, although I'm very glad to have seen it (perhaps "experienced it" is more apt).

I hear tell Gentle Jeff’s taken his hard drive into the bath again or something. Sigh, that boy! For once I’ve got something to plug that Skip Week Gap. As ever on these occasions I write about whatever I want knowing you won’t mind because you are all so lovely! And you are aren’t you? Weesss ooo arrrr! This time out I write about a British author who is in no danger of being called “Chuckles” anytime soon. One David Peace whose new novel, Red or Dead (VERY GOOD!) came out recently so I didn’t actually read anything else until it was done. It took some reading as well. He’s not the easiest read in the library, this David Peace guy. I was going to go on about that new one but I’m still cogitating. In the meantime let’s take Kylie’s tiny hand and step back in time to the books that made his name. Or not. Free Will, right? Anyway, this...
