Up the junction personal responce

The film 'up the junction' is about a rich Chelsea girl called Polly, who decides to move to Battersea through boredem. She finds herself a stable job, cozy flat and a few good new friends who play a big part in the film as well as Polly. throughout the film the woman are shown as stable and conversing in their job at the factory with a lot of gossip about their cheating husbands. Another character that is introduced into pollys life is peter who soon becomes her boyfriend, she falls completely in love until at the end of the film, where she finds out peter is only using her for a way out of Battersea through polly. She also finds out about a stolen car where we finally see him go to jail.

One of Polly's friends called Rube goes through a rough time with an abortion which is a big highlight and problem in the 60's. We clearly see a great deal of pain that rube was going through with close up's of rube during her abortion which creates a lot of emotion for the audience. and straight after this, she decides to get married to terry(who got her pregnant) however this ends in a disaster with him getting hit by a truck and dieing whilst they're on their way to bowling.

I personally enjoyed the film, although at times i probably laughed at the wrong bits, and the ending of the film disappointed me a lot as it felt like the film had just been paused as we see peter got off in a police van to jail, where then i was hoping to see what would happen after between Polly and peter however the film just ends with the van driving off.
