Overall, I find that the film scene in Glasgow is a lot more popular than I initially expected it to be. Admittedly, I watch a lot of Hollywood produced blockbusters with the occasional independent indie movie here and there but I've never really taken the time to properly investigate homegrown movies such as the ones mentioned on this blog.
As well as movies, there are many actors that I completely forgot were Glaswegian. I like to think that my James McAvoy situation has been made pretty clear from my posts on here but I do often forget that actors such as Robert Carlyle and Billy Boyd, who I'm so used to seeing in media that is not Scottish based, are actually from Glasgow.
It seems almost surreal to think of them in this way which makes me rethink my evaluation of the Glasgow film scene not being as big as I thought it was when it clearly has a lot to offer. It has diversity, infinite talent and shows signs of only improving, especially with the new complex opening in 2017.
In conclusion, through my research in which I've studied the Glasgow film scene, I like to think I've learned a lot about it and been able to change my view on it in order to appreciate it more.
