This Is England

We saw the film “This is England” in class a while ago. The movie shocked me a bit and it was not like the typical and “regular” movies we usually watch. It is about a boy, I would guess around 12 years old. He lives in England, and gets bullied a lot at school. This has a huge impact on his life. Also the fact that the little boy lost his father in the Falkland was is also hard for him.



One day when he walks home from school, he meets a gang of skinheads. After a while they start to hang a lot together, and they become good friends. The friendship is being tested when one day, one of the leaders in the gang, shows us how big of an issue the racism in England was at that time.
