The native British director Sean Meades experienced the confusion and rebelliousness of a poor British teenager when he was young. His father was a coach driver and his mother was a Fish & Chips clerk. He dropped out of junior high school before graduating from high school, and has a misdemeanor discipline. This typical and authentic cultural background gives Sean plenty of Gideon to play and express the British color of "This Is England". And for Sean, England, set in the Midlands of modern-day England, like most of his other works, may have given him a more comfortable creative angle.

14-year-old actor Thomas Turgoose was also born in Lincolnshire, England. It depicts the protagonist's hesitation, loss, gloom, and rebellion with outstanding performance. For his first lead feature, Thomas Turgoose won the British Independent Film Award - Most Promising Newcomer, and several nominations.

The story line is clean and concentrated. It tells the story of a teenager who lived in the UK in 1983. He encountered obstacles everywhere in his growth, lost himself, and finally regained his existence and sense of kinship through huge profits, joined a local skinhead, and found confidence and support, but in the end This road is to go to the abyss...

The film "Green Street Hooligans" with the same theme and background a year before the film's release may be slightly inferior in terms of director and performance, with a big gap of $3.15 million at the box office, which belongs to the film by 5.05 million pounds .
