my dream

I watched a movie "Football Hooligan 1" recently. I watched 2 first and then 1. After watching 2, I felt that it was full of violence, blood, and no connotation. Thinking about the first film, it is generally more elite, so I also Come and see. After watching the first 80%, I feel like I'm going to be disappointed again, and the silly kid who played Fredo in The Lord of the Rings before makes me feel very cheap! Damn it, it's none of your business, you are just having fun. After watching it, I was completely transformed and felt that this was a stupid kid who deserves respect. There is a sentence in it: Pete's life taught me there is time to stand ur ground, his death taught me there's a time to walk away. 【Being a person must have a position, but sometimes you must let go in time】. When I watched "Goal" before, I was very obsessed with England because of the football atmosphere there and the very beautiful, charming and shocking urban construction. Many civilizations made me very infected and yearned for it. When I saw 80% of the time, I thought it was the dirty side of English football, but then, this sentence told me, really, English football is indeed a culture, the fans here are the real fans, the people hold on to their faith to the death. I think behind this is a kind of [sincerity], a value expressed in the most naked way. Yes, u should take one side, stand on it, till death.
So, after reading it, I think I like England more, its quietness, its football and its faithfulness and sincerity.
. . . In fact, in life, we all yearn for sincerity and there is no falsehood, which is why many people like children, because they are the most true; but I am sorry, the reality is that you will always meet false people, they take every sides! they make u have the desire to pick up a brick to ham onto this son of a bitch!
But I don't hate politicians, on the contrary I admire them. Although some of them are corrupt and selfish, although some people say that politicians have the most fake and hypocritical smiles, I still admire them. Because they know that behind them is the state, the regime; so they are taking a big essential side.
I also don't hate the humble people, the really humble people. They are not hypocritical, they know that there are people outside, and they know that keeping a low profile can better protect themselves. This is a philosophy of life that a wise man understands. But I don't like people who pretend to be modest. They are modest on the surface, but they are actually showing off in the most obscene way.
Of course there are those despised people and things in England, but there are some people here who are very lovely.

Green Street Hooligans quotes

  • Pete Dunham: [Matt and Pete are sitting at a food vendor stall, reading a newspaper the morning after the Birmingham game/fight] Fuckin' journos. Look at this.

    [he slaps the paper]

    Pete Dunham: West Ham wins 3-nil in a blindin' performance, and our little scrap makes the headline. Bloody muckrakers.

    Matt Buckner: So, what is this?

    Pete Dunham: Bollocks journo bullshit.

    Matt Buckner: No, no, this, the GSE.

    Pete Dunham: [whispering] Shhh! Lower it, son!

    Matt Buckner: What are you guys, like, an organized political movement or something?

    Pete Dunham: No, mate. We're a firm. You never heard of a firm in the States?

    Matt Buckner: No.

    Pete Dunham: All right. Every football team in Europe's got a firm. Some have two.

    [Matt gives him a blank look]

    Pete Dunham: Christ, I forgot how clueless you Yanks are. All you've seen of us is the stadium riots on TV, innit? Come on.

    [they get up and walk away from the stall]

    Pete Dunham: See, West Ham football is mediocre. But our firm is top-notch, and everyone knows it. The GSE: Green Street Elite. Arsenal... great football, shit firm... the Gooners. Tottenham... shit football, and a shit firm... the Yids, they're called. I actually put their main lad through a phone box window the other day.

    Matt Buckner: [Matt looks down at the newspaper] What about Millwall?

    Pete Dunham: Ah, Millwall. Where to even fucking begin with Millwall. Millwall and West Ham firms hate each other, more than any other firms by far.

    Matt Buckner: Sorta like the Yankees and the Red Sox.

    Pete Dunham: More like the Israelis and the Palestinians.

    [Matt laughs]

    Pete Dunham: We haven't played Millwall in ten years. Their top boy's this geezer named Tommy Hatcher. 'Orrible ol' cunt. Back in the Major's day, Tommy's son was killed in a scrap. After that, he went completely mental. Lost the plot.

    Matt Buckner: Well, who's the Major?

    Pete Dunham: Ah, the Major. Quite a legend 'round here. He ran the GSE in the Nineties, when I was comin' up. Hardest bastard you ever saw. They say we kinda lost our way when he left. But believe me, my boys are bringin' the ol' GSE reputation right back.

  • Matt Buckner: So basically, firms are gangs?

    Pete Dunham: Kind of... but we're a far cry from all that Bloods and Crips bullshit. I mean shootin' a machine gun out of a movin' car at an 8 year old girl, that's just cowardly. See, we might be into fightin' an all that... but it's more about reputation. Humiliatin' another mob in a row, doin' somethin' the other firms get to hear and talk about - like a Yank in his first fight battering one of Birmingham's main lads.
