Another fantastic story, brilliantly told by director Shane Meadows and his stunning cast.
Tells of how easy it can be to become involved with the wrong people and wrong thinking.
Some people just want respect, others want to fit in.
Brilliant performances by all concerned especially the main kid at the centre of it all and Stephen Graham who plays combo.
Also it was nice to see the kid from A Room for Romeo Brass playing Milky.
Highly Recommended
it was bad! very bad! if you want it i have it & will gladly give you it!
Visual poet Shane Meadows has done it again. Two years after the incredibly powerful "Dead Man's Shoes" Meadows's autobiographic "This is England" is his 5th full length feature and probably his best to date. Twelve-year-old Shaun (Thomas Turgoose ) is bullied at school and, against all odds, finds some peace with a group of original skinheads. All seems well until Combo (Stephen Graham) returns to the scene after three years in the slammer. He soon manages to twist the skins around his little finger and introduces them to the ideals we nowadays recognize as typical for skins. Shaun's world is rocked again and he soon finds he will have to make a very hard choice. Gripping, compelling, moving, violent yet utterly beautiful.
A must-see if ever there was one!
I just watched this on FilmFour tonight and thoroughly enjoyed it. I'm too young to remember the 80s but it clearly depicted the era well and the acting was brill. Some parts made me laugh and some parts almost made me cry (I probably would've if there weren't others in the room). A great drama and I would recommend it to anyone, truly a British masterpiece.
To be honest I didn't expect this film to be the best watch, I just wanted to see what it was about. But I'm glad I watched it. It made me smile, made me angry, made me laugh, made me cry. I was glued to it all the way through, the setting was perfect and the acting was so real - nobody trying too hard to be the 'star', although the kid was excellent all the way through, the part was made for him. Us British don't turn out too many great films but this is by far one of the best films I've ever seen. I
