Local Hero

Being a Knopfler fan I heard almost all his works. One of his finest I should say is the soundtrack he made for this 1983 Scottish film "Local Hero". You can listen to the music over and over again. So I looked it up in IMDb and found the story to be rather intriguing. After looking for the movie for over a month I finally found it, downloaded it and saw it last night and I’m glad I did.



American oil giant "Knox" sets out to acquire this small beautiful fishing town in Scotland, where they want to set up their new oil refinery. "Mac" MacIntyre their hot-shot executive is sent over to negotiate with the towns people, who love his Porsche and his 85K salary. Little does he know that instead of buying them off, he will start cherishing them, their town, their way of life......

If you like classic movies this is a must see. The story is bound to touch your heart and off course the amazing music that adds another dimension to the story.
