When we recall that in "Slumdog Rich", a teenager Gemma said to the sightseeing Americans: Aren't you going to see the real India? This is. But the Yankee said he took out the "Knife Leer" and handed it to Gemma, saying: I'll show you what the real America is. Danny Boer, only the British can fuck like that.

When we couldn't read "Trainspotting", Mark and everyone scolded angrily in the empty grassland farm: We are a famous family colonized by rotten children, we don't even have our own culture, fuck Scotland!

This is not Scotland, this is England, about the throes of that era, the throbbing pains, the weedy beaches, the stranded old boats, the colorful walls of the town, the inescapable circumstances of the youth of the little boy Sean as he grew up In the same way, it is destroyed, rebuilt, and then broken again.

When childhood is blamed by undue righteousness, the image of a father, the silent film of a group, the eyes of a sensitive boy pay attention to the social situation of "skinheads" in the Thatcher era, sharing the pain of growing up in a gray age and youthful feelings.

They are worried about the decline of their own nation, they feel that they are being marginalized, they take the catharsis of aliens as their passion, and they find out in the entanglement that what they are doing is wrong

. Really feel, but that's not war, at that time, we still don't know what war is... The real war, about the nation, about the conceit

all ended, when the cross of St. George was thrown away by Sean angrily, race, nation , discrimination, war, love, hate, everything goes back to zero


British plot, if you ever had a dream about this country
