Patriotism is a fate, how to be patriotic is a choice

This is a good movie, 1983 Britain, 12-year-old boy, turbulent. The title is big, the entry point is small, a story about the transformation, and the super-good soundtrack made me start writing pessimism.

Everyone's 12-year-old life is different. There are always events that make you grow up so quickly. For SHAUN, who lost his father in the 1982 FALKAND war, it is to know the SKINHEAD gang headed by WOODY. Shirts and boots from DOC MARTIN have turned a corner in this SUMMER life. With the arrival of COMBO, everything became radical and violent, of course, in the name of patriotism, the nation. In fact, behind the pale life, this is just an excuse to vent.

Anyway, seeing SKINHEAD reminds me of EDWARD NOLAN in AMERICAN HISTORY X. All are somewhat nationalistic. In fact, patriotism is a destiny. If you were born in China, you must love China; if you were born in England, you must love Britain; if you were born in Congo, you must love Congo. White people, yellow people, black people, it doesn't matter, it's just that they were born and raised in different regions. With the current trade, the human race has also migrated a lot. Indians, Chinese, and Caucasians live together in Caucasian territory, as long as you take care of yourself, it's not a big deal. In the film, what COMBO did to Pakistani, Indian, and even his accomplice MILKY, a black man, was just a vent for his unhappiness.

Much like the run on foreigners by Shanghainese in the early years. Foreigners come to Shanghai to work and buy houses. Of course, there are relatively few jobs for locals in Shanghai. Is it possible to drive away all the foreigners? In fact, this is nothing at all, and there is no major malice. After all, everyone is Chinese, and everyone has a good life. In the United Kingdom in 1983, just after the war against Argentina in 1982, the British soldiers died, the unemployment rate of the natives was high, and the white people could only be vicious to those Pakistanis and Indians, scolding, FUCK'EM.. .

PS. I also absolutely hate the smell on Indians. . .
