Hope and Glory	comment	Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); })Hope and Glory is a 1987 film directed by John Boorman.It is a nostalgic comedy set in a working-class suburb of London, taking place between 1939 and 1942. Billy Rohan is a schoolboy who is ten years old when World War II in the West begins in earnest with the German invasion of France. His father Clive, swept away in a tide of patriotic enthusiasm, joins up, despite being well into his forties and having already served in World War I. This leaves Billy's mother Grace alone at home, in charge of a family that includes Billy, his little sister Sue, and his rebellious teenaged sister Dawn.The Battle of Britain and the Blitz turn out to be grand entertainment for Billy, who watches dogfights in the sky, goes around wrecking stuff in bombed out houses, and collects shrapnel that he finds in the streets. Dawn's teenaged hormones lead her to start going out with all the horny young soldiers that are suddenly around London. And Grace has to deal with her own long-buried attraction to Clive's best friend Mac. Meanwhile, the British people keep calm and carry on, as bombs fall, houses burn, and German pilots drop out of the sky.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_2'); })Boorman followed the film in 2014 with Queen and Country, a loose sequel that follows Billy (now called Bill) through his Army training during The Korean War.

Hope and Glory / int_58970413	comment	Coincidental Broadcast: Whenever we hear the radio it's something about the war. We know the first scene is set on September 3, 1939 because we hear Chamberlain's speech on the radio. We know about the Time Skip to May 10, 1940 because we hear Churchill's speech on the radio.
