Movie Watch

This is England

This film is set in the 80’s and being a from this time this film had some real felling for me. It looks at the shady topic of the BNP and how a young boy who has just lost his dad in the Faulklands get sucked in to this world without any real understanding of what this world is. Shane Meadows (director) doesn’t paint every skin head in the same light, it shows the spit in people when it comes to race and religion and brings some very difficult subjects for the time into light. It has a good cast with some familiar British faces and a story which feels very strong even if you don’t agree with it. The young boy (Thomas Turgoose) was strong and well suited for the role and I expect to see ore form him in the future. With a win for the best British independent film award to back it up it should be on for a little longer so get down to the picture house and see it.
