about fear

Twelve-year-old Shaun feels lonely and ridiculed because of his father's sacrifice in the Falklands battle he doesn't fully understand. When a group of Skinheads accepted and stood up for him, it was only natural that he was in the "fight" too. Under Sean Meades' lens language, we can see how Skinhead is feigned - shaved head, Martin boots, Ben Sherman's Tee, vulgar language, wild sex, but it's like Thatcher's Political theory, like Diana's wedding, is just a form of fantasy. Truly being a Skinhead, the Woodys backed off and Shaun moved forward.

Participating in rallies, beating bastards, and robbing commodities under the leadership of Combo, he was just trying to get back his sense of abandonment, just using his so-called courage to regain his shortcomings in the eyes of others, thinking that he could inject his father's bravery with impassioned blood. medal. But Shaun finally escaped when Combo violently beat his friend. It seemed to me that he was not sober, but finally scared. Since his thirst for identity is stronger than Woody's, his fears are slow to express, that's all. The difference between true and false Skinheads and patriots does not necessarily lie in the form of dressing, but in the critical point of fear. After all, fear is an emotion that human beings cannot disguise and cover up.

In the past two decades, the battlefield that may call for wind and rain has shifted from England to America and Iraq. The protagonist of the wedding of the century has shifted from Charles Diana to Cruz Katie. Any Skinhead trend has not retreated. There are always people wearing Martin boots to catch up with hair. Bud's anger. Just look at Shane Meadows, his narrative of childhood is so close to us at times.
