This is a drama about an underage child who became a member of an extremist group of skinheads in the 1970s. Because it is a skinhead theme, it is very sensitive and concerned, and it is very detailed. Although there are no subtitles, I still finished it effortlessly. It seems that the poor British English dialogue still does not hinder my understanding of the film. Or improve English. . . Ha



was very good as soon as the film started. A group of social shots and war shots explained the background of the film. In the background at that time, it was not long after the punk movement broke out. The extreme rebellious spirit of punk still brought a lot of influence to contemporary young people. Weird costumes and hairstyles, music and parties are what life is all about. Sean is a 12-year-old boy. His father died in the war. He is withdrawn and has a lot of mood swings. Although he is still young, he looks very mature in every move. He is not afraid of anything, but he is still a child with innocent laughter. . He was always ruthlessly ridiculed by the people around him. He was a loner. Once, he met the skinhead organization by chance. From there, he felt warmth and happiness. I enjoyed this kind of life very much, and naturally became the smallest member of the skinheads. Cut off his own hair. Began to vent nonsense. . Until later, his fellow Jamaican was killed. It was only when he woke up and started to change that he realized that racism was the root of evil in this society, and those wars were too cruel and absurd. Finally, he threw the flag into the sea. . . .



Many details in the film are well captured, perhaps because the director has had the same experience, so it seems that the film is smooth and the plot is simple and real. Music is an indispensable highlight, and the original soundtrack composed of different styles of music must be listened to. Italian composer Ludovico Einaudi's three piano scores bring the audience into the film at key moments.

This is England! -- The director's use of this title is no exaggeration at all. In fact, any regional phenomenon in the same context is a microcosm of that period in this country. This is the same root, why is it too rushed to fry it! We have seen the huge disaster brought about by absurd racist thoughts. In fact, we hope that the world will be less ugly, at least we hope that young children have a healthy and happy childhood!
