MacGowan's life has been defined by The Pogues since the band's formation in London in the early s. Which makes Temple's choice to completely neglect the band for the entire first half of A Crock Of Gold fascinating.
What was it about the social conditions, the culture of that moment that created the music of someone like Shane McGowan? And then we had this engineer here'.
I'm more interested in where the music comes from, who the people are who make it, and why they are like that. Having now finished a film he wasn't sure he wanted to make, Temple is pleased Depp's cajoling got him to commit to the project. And, while his subject didn't make things easy, Temple still gives MacGowan credit for. I respect him just as much at the beginning — although I had a difficult time making it — as I do now.
It's not an easy thing to do. And I hope I give him the respect he deserves. Then there were some pregnant silences towards the end. Then he was in tears when the lights came up. But we didn't hear from Shane. By the end of the film, MacGowan hasn't necessary proven himself to be any more likable or easy to understand literally: his parts of the film have been subtitled but seeing him in such a frail state he's been unable to walk since breaking his pelvis in does elicit sympathy.
This goodwill is compounded in the film's final frame: a note from MacGowan that serves as a kind of apology to those he has wronged over the years. An apology punctuated by a typically MacGowan-esque middle-finger.

If you are not really an extrovert — if you are really an introvert — it is kind of embarrassing don't you think? Victoria's mother Orla Laffan married her long-term partner, actor David Coon, earlier this year. They have been together 39 years.
David proposed on Valentine's Day. Victoria's mother and her new husband live in West Cork. Shane loves it. Victoria can't bring herself to watch it. It's too violent. Shane is suddenly lost in reverie. You are always getting bargains at the hotdog stand! They are quite — I think you'll agree — the couple. She went as Goldilocks and the Three Bears — she had three bears hanging around her neck.
Shane went as a pirate, complete with a leather coat, an eye patch and a pirate's hat. They are seen regularly dining in restaurants in Sandymount and Dublin city centre. They have lived in Dublin for about 10 years.
Victoria says that sometimes she misses London. They used to keep two places — one in Dublin and one in London "to go back and forth all the time to have a social life there. But after a while you realise if you want to have anything that you are committed to it is quite hard if you jumping between two places. It has to be said that there doesn't seem much time in Shane MacGowan's life when he is not doing something creative.
Don't let the myth floating like fog around Shane MacGowan obscure the fact that, as a writer, he is a genius. He played with his former band The Pogues two months ago in Paris for a 30th anniversary concert it is out now on DVD.
He shakes his head when I ask will The Pogues — whom he left a decade ago — ever go into the studio again and record new material. They are all big boys. I swore I'd never do another gig with them again. I was quite happy.
Asked about the future, he hisses once more with laughter: "You'll have to wait and see, Baz. He is, in fact, he says, going to work with Mick Jones and the equally legendary Lee Scratch Perry on maybe two new albums. Shane MacGowan is still full of youthful vigour. I'm still the second youngest member of The Pogues I ask him to look at the picture of a very young him on the wall with a similarly fresh-faced Victoria.
Shane: "Well , I didn't! A million times happier. I didn't know it was possible to be so much happier because that was life. But you learn so much about life and how to be happy over the years. I think by the time I'm in my 90s, I'll be on another planet. That he remembered nearly all the lyrics and sang in a semi-intelligible manner equated to a pleasant surprise.
One decade after reuniting, the Pogues are leaving behind a legacy as famous for their frontman's irreverent behavior as their politically tinged music.
Despite ranking among his generation's finest writers, he became the stereotype of a drunken fool, triggering his dismissal from the group in Years of hard living took a toll.
