Happy-Go-Lucky is a 2008 British comedy-drama film written and directed by Mike Leigh. The screenplay focuses on a cheerful and optimistic primary-school teacher and her relationships with those around her. The film was well received by critics and resulted in a number of awards for Leigh, lead actress Sally Hawkins and supporting actor Eddie Marsan.
Plot
Thirty years old and single, Pauline "Poppy" Cross shares a London flat with her best friend Zoe, a fellow teacher. Poppy is free-minded, high-spirited and kind-hearted. The film opens with Poppy trying to engage a shop employee in conversation. He ignores her, yet his icy demeanour does not bother her. She maintains her good mood even when she discovers her bicycle has been stolen. Her main concern is not getting a new one or finding the bicycle, but that she did not get a chance to say goodbye to it. This prompts her to decide to learn how to drive.
When Poppy takes driving lessons for the first time, her positive attitude contrasts starkly with her gloomy, intolerant and cynical driving instructor, Scott. He is emotionally repressed, has anger problems and becomes extremely agitated by Poppy's casual attitude towards driving. As Poppy gets to know him, it becomes evident that Scott believes in conspiracy theories. His beliefs are partly attributable to his racist and misogynistic views, which make it hard for him to get along with others. Scott seems to be angered by Poppy's sunny personality and what he perceives as a lack of responsibility and concern for driving safety. Scott is exceptionally irritated by Poppy's choice of footwear (a pair of high-heeled boots), which he feels compromises her ability to drive. From the outset he feels Poppy does not take her lessons seriously and is careless.
"Happy Go Lucky" is the twenty-first and penultimate episode of the second season of the American mystery television series Veronica Mars, and the forty-third episode overall. Written by Diane Ruggiero and directed by Steve Gomer, the episode premiered on UPN on May 2, 2006.
Aaron Echolls testifies in court and lies about the day of the murder. Veronica talks to Keith about her testimony. Gia (Krysten Ritter) invites Veronica to her house, and she agrees. Veronica bemoans her academic situation to Jackie (Tessa Thompson) and Wallace (Percy Daggs III). Weevil (Francis Capra) asks Veronica for help on his finals, but she denies him. Lucky (James Jordan) comes into the lunch area and starts shooting a gun. He points the gun at Jackie before “shooting” Wallace, although his gun has no bullets. A police officer appears and actually shoots Lucky in the back. Woody answers the press’s questions on the incident. Keith tells Veronica his plan to hack into Woody’s email account, and Veronica says that she’ll handle it when she’s invited over. Logan visits Aaron in prison. At the Goodmans’ house, Veronica hacks into the email account and reads an email that indicates that Woody molested several children.
Clarence Smith, better known as Pinetop Smith or Pine Top Smith (June 11, 1904 – March 15, 1929) was an American boogie-woogie style blues pianist. His hit tune, "Pine Top's Boogie Woogie", featured rhythmic "breaks" that were an essential ingredient of ragtime music.

A film by Mike Leigh
Cinematography/Camera Operator - Dick Pope BSC
Produced by Simon Channing Williams (1945-2009)
Written & Directed by Mike Leigh
“With her sharp features, toothy smile, and bright eyes, [Sally] Hawkins has the creature cuteness of a Disney chipmunk. Her character is naturally friendly, pleased to make eye contact with strangers, an empathetic fount of jokey banter and playful innuendo. (Typically dressed in Fauvist floral prints, clashing textured tights, and high-heeled cowgirl boots, Poppy is also fun to watch...” - J. Hoberman, the Village VOICE (OCTOBER 8, 2008)
‘With vivid characterizations from the entire ensemble cast derived from [Mike] Leigh’s trademark lengthy rehearsal process, pic feels as though it could have profitably spun in many different directions. Flavorsome scenes with sisters Suzy (Kate O’Flynn) and Helen (Caroline Martin) and brother-in-law Jamie (Oliver Maltman) suggest more going on beneath the surface. Indeed, several catalogs list the running time at 158 minutes, indicating scenes were left on the cutting-room floor. ...Thin, fine-boned [Sally] Hawkins, so good in small parts in Leigh’s “Vera Drake” and “All or Nothing,” manages to make what initially appears to be a scatty, irritating character ultimately endearing. Dark-haired and hazel-eyed, she sparks visual memories of Katrin Cartlidge, a favorite Leigh ensemble member who died in 2002.’ - Alissa Simon, VARIETY (FEBRUARY 12, 2008)

[Verse One] I'm on a night train, from Moscow to St. Petersburg Right outside the wall in the bleeding world With the biggest band-aid cant' make the blood stop Part of the Fort but at the same time not In the, blooming valleys of hopes and aspiration Dreams are crushed by dope and desperation 'Cause the West is blinded by the Fort and Corrupted by fame, money and fortune Kids kidnapped by rich pimps So that we can live out our sick dreams Stabbed in the back, tortured and raped Can't go back home 'cause they're so ashamed, uh It's a metaphor for the whole process The poor take the losses while we make more profits In a world where the winner takes it all And happiness only appears in sitcoms We're crossing the landscape and forcing the speed The beat is meditative and I'm falling asleep And when I wake up the train is at the station and People rushing out I hear'em questioning life Again and again wondering like [Chorus] Why am I here? I don't know man I'm stuck in limbo Watching how the things go flashing by Why am I here? You don't know looking out the window In a different lingo asking why Why am I here? They know 'cause our fingerprints show Or they think so, I travel light Why am I here? On a night train, on a night train [Verse Two] I'm on a night train from Copenhagen to Berlin Early on the morning my head hurting from the bourbon She's in the shower, in an hour we're on top of the fort We're they be shopping for sport, but we be searching For something new with babysteps One day, I might take her for a walk down the isle But there's many rivers to cross and my lady says: Okay, we ain't had a chance to talk for a while and I Know you love the feeling of leaving but it don't matter what country Or what region of Sweden All we got is us, and this is what I truly believe in So I don't know 'bout you, I ain't runnin' I'ma find freedom in our everyday, life And make the most out of it We don't know this might take us both out If the train run off the track, crash and burn We sat side by side, awaiting our turn And I'm smiling, you're right, but still... [Chorus] Why am I here? I don't know girl I'm stuck in limbo Watching everything go flashing by Why am I here? You don't know looking out the window In a different lingo asking why Why am I here? But they know 'cause our fingerprints show Or they think so, I travel light Why am I here? On a night train, on a night train [Verse Three] I'm on a night train from Tangier to Marrakech I ain't a rap star here man I don't speak Arabic They looking at me like hell does he do here? But in a curious way, they celebrate new year's We had to escape the fort, living close to the border What are we waiting for? Two hours from Algeciras, Spain The port, the same, sunny beaches at the same resorts That wash up refugees that they can't deport Immigration officer fill out a blank report Family; unknown, where to send the corpse? Wanna restart their life instead they end it off And the train keeps running down the line And the world keeps flashin' by the window Like we runnin' out of time, it's a feeling of freedom mixed With the feeling of being trapped I feel like we travel to beat the map Stop the time, slam the brakes, jump out the frame Find a new place without a name New, at least to the white man, untouched and clean I, soon find out a man, ain't no such a thing And the further we travel it begins to unravel How the Europeans always wanted to be the king of the castle And how it effects all continents, how we lost respect and all common sense And the question remains: [Chorus] Why am I here? I don't know man I'm stuck in limbo Watching how the things go passing by Why am I here? You don't know sittin' by the window In a different lingo askin': Why am I here? They know 'cause our fingerprints show Or they think so, I travel light Why am I here? On a night train, well all right then
