This is England


The film begins in July 1983, with Shaun (Thomas Turgoose), an 12-year-old, getting in a fight at school after someone makes an offending joke about his father who died in the Falklands War. On his way home, in an unhappy mood, Shaun runs into a group of skinheads led by Woody (Joe Gilgun), who feels sympathy for Shaun. The group eventually accepts Shaun as a member, and he develops a romance with Smell (Rosamund Hanson), an older girl who dresses in a punk/new wave style.

Combo (Stephen Graham), an older skinhead, returns to the group after serving a prison sentence. He attempts to enforce his leadership on the group and promote his white nationalist views. Combo causes the group to split in two, and Shaun decides to stay in Combo's racist group instead of leaving with the non-political skinheads led by Woody, convinced by Combo into thinking that this is the only true way to avenge his father.

(from wikipedia :P )

Its a really good movie and i think its worth watchin. Its really interesting to see how Shaun gets changed from a good boy to a nationalist, and not really understaniding what that means.

now go and watch it
