The Englishman Who Went Up a Hill But Came Down a Mountain	comment	The Englishman Who Went Up a Hill But Came Down a Mountain is a 1995 British historical comedy/drama directed by Christopher Monger, starring Hugh Grant, Tara Fitzgerald, and Colm Meaney.In 1917, two English cartographers come to a small Welsh village to measure the local mountain, Ffynnon Garw, for the official British maps. The villagers are very proud of Ffynnon Garw ("the first mountain in Wales") and are rather upset to learn that that it's just under the 1000 feet required to be considered a mountain, and thus will not appear on the map.Quickly, the villagers hatch a plan to add a mound to the top to bring it up to the requirement, while conspiring to keep the cartographers in town long enough to measure it again.

The Englishman Who Went Up a Hill But Came Down a Mountain / int_23be181a	comment	Patriotic Fervor: Shown in a sympathetic light as being home of "the first mountain in Wales" is a point of pride for the town. Wales = mountains, mountains = Wales; otherwise they might as well redraw the border to put them in England. When Ffynnon Garw is reclassified as a hill without warning or ceremony, it takes away one of the few things they had left after three grueling years of loss to the trenches and the mines.

The Englishman Who Went Up a Hill But Came Down a Mountain / int_3318a1cb	comment	Distant Finale: The end shows the descendants of the villagers in modern times. They learn that the mound has settled back under 1000 feet, and the final scene shows them hauling dirt by hand to build it back up.note Funnily enough, in Real Life this wouldn't actually be necessary, as the Ordnance Survey actually dropped the 1,000ft minimum requirement only a few years after the film was set. Nowadays the usual standard is 610 metres (just over 2,000ft)... but they also defer to local tradition, meaning that if the townsfolk say Ffynnon Garw is a mountain, it's a mountain.

There is also their claim that the town flagpole (which they're using as a measuring post for the mound) was taken away for "dry rot." In Wales.

The Englishman Who Went Up a Hill But Came Down a Mountain / int_440d1d0b	comment	Screw the Rules, I'm Doing What's Right!: When the only way to finish the mountain is to work on the Sabbath, the pastor ends up deciding that it's more important to finish what they started, and gives the town his blessing to keep working. Notably, the pastor is praying to God to give him a sign whether he should break the rule about working on the Sabbath or not. Then his eyes fall on Psalm 99:9.... "Exalt the Lord our God, and worship at His holy hill; for the Lord our God is holy." He takes that to mean that God has given him permission to break the rules, and he gives his sermon with a passion.

There are only a few last names in the village, so everyone is referred to as both name and occupation (Williams the Petroleum, Jones the Baker, etc). This is a Running Joke about Wales in general.note Despite the film's claim that it's always been like that and nobody knows why, it was actually a deliberate act by the English in the 16th century—they abolished traditional Welsh patronyms and assigned names instead in order to suppress Welsh culture and anglicize them.

(Except the Reverend Jones, who preached against Morgan once he was done preaching against the war.) This does raise the question of how - and whether - from the time the children born in 1917 reached their teens, they were kept away from dating and marrying their biological half-siblings.

The Englishman Who Went Up a Hill But Came Down a Mountain / int_b09c818	comment	"Blackmail" Is Such an Ugly Word: The aforementioned Arc Words are Morgan's response to anyone who balks at one of his ideas. It starts from the relatively benign (obtaining two pounds of sugar under rationing to sabotage the Englishmen's car) but gets downright dark later when he sends Williams the Petroleum and Johnny Shellshocked up the mountain in a thunderstorm to cover the mound with a tarp. Betty finally repeats the line to Anson so that he'll stay on the mountain (with her) and measure it at sunrise.

However, his sense of Welsh pride is as sincere as anyone's; he refuses to take any bets less than 1,000 feet and he proposes the idea of raising the mountain's height.
