Where Can I Get Spare Wheels For My Baby Walker

Inghilterra e Skinhead

a film dealing with the Skinhead culture there are many, among which should be mentioned "American History X" (with Edward Norton) and "Romper Stomper "(with Russell Crowe), addressing the issue of racism in the social contexts of the United States and Australia. The film, in my opinion, is distinguished from others, even less is known of the two mentioned above, is "This Is England", set in the UK, where the culture is born and develops its Skin disparate fringe.

England, summer of 1983. Margaret Thatcher down a new policy of extreme conservatism, the throw-in social values \u200b\u200blong gone, read back from the eyes of most extreme. This is the time that it intensifies the gap between different ideologies Skinhead.
It 'just that the content of the film, which tells the story of twelve year old Shaun (Thomas Toogose), lost his father died in war. Initially the boy is mocked by most of his peers, but outside the walls of the school, make friends with a group of guys with plaid shirts, suspenders, and Dr Martens, led by Woody. Shaun is put at ease and addressed to the unbridled fun, changing his manner of dress and way of thinking, finally earning a girl (much) bigger than him and making known to his mother his new circle of friends. He can finally be happily carefree, like any teenager of her age.
The first important breakthrough came with Combo, the destabilizing element of the story, a friend of Woody just emerging from a period of detention lasted three years, which We are committed to creating a group of young alternative, relying on the social unrest of that period as xenophobia, insecurity and so on, thus embodying the stereotype of the classic right-wing skinheads, racist and violent. The two groups will obviously not agree from the outset, Combo is a charismatic speaker and will creep into the minds of some members of the Woody, Milky including (a black boy) and Shaun himself, passing them on his side.

Stop, pause, begin to analyze the tables: we have two different groups of young skinheads with two different ideologies behind. On one side, "Oi!" Woody, allegedly left with the reminder of the fun, evenings, fooling around, alcohol and music hosting, among their ranks, the young Milky, a black, stressing that their ideology would break away from political debate racial, as would be natural to think of seeing a generic group of skinheads. In the film, the violent intent of the Oi! little is taken into account (although it is also among them) and I think this is done deliberately to emphasize the other side of the coin: a group of skinhead Combo. Xenophobic and extremely conservative, fighting against any kind of immigration (in this case Pakistan, emphasized three specific points in the film), where violenza e prepotenza sono all’apice di ogni azione e la strumentalizzazione politica regna sovrana.
Shaun si trova, così, in mezzo a 2 fuochi, ma, con lo svolgersi degli eventi, imparerà ad usare la testa in modo più che ragionevole, a districarsi infine tra le scelte giuste da prendere. Combo avrà un’influenza negativa su di lui, portandolo fin dalla sua giovane età nella frangia xenofoba della cultura Skin, ma il ragazzo inizierà ad aprire gli occhi pian piano e rendersi conto delle sue scelte errate e dell’influenza che Combo ha avuto su di lui e sui suoi amici.
La goccia che farà traboccare il vaso sarà una serata in cui Combo e gli altri si ritrovano in una stanza e, da a smoke grass in joy you will get a heavy beating by the Milky Skin.

short, two British Independent Film Awards 2006 Best Film and Best Newcomer (Thomas Turgoose in fact) and 2008 BAFTA for best British film, not hunting.
The film is inspired by an episode of the past life of the director, and his goal is scored, a perfect picture of how cultural evolution of low-level has taken hold in England in the 80's of how the advance of xenophobic ideologies and wrong breach face as if nothing had happened in the minds English mangled by a policy too conservatrice e deludente, da una disoccupazione incombente ed una rinnovata forma di malriposto patriottismo. Fattore molto rilevante del film che ho sottolineato all’inizio, è il fatto che sulla bilancia con altri film che trattano l’argomento Skinhead, tutto sembra rappresentato con naturalezza ed attenzione ai dettagli, ai costumi e alle ambientazioni, a differenza di altre pellicole dove è facile ritrovare i soliti pessimi cliché e luoghi comuni. Se questo film è il capolavoro che è (a mio modestissimo parere, ma non credo io sia l’unico a pensarla così..) è proprio grazie a quel piccolo talento di Thomas Turgoose, primissimo film per lui giovane tredicenne nel 2006, nonostante i suoi features square and a little 'crooked, is able to convey so much, very much indeed, with the intensity of his eyes. In the simplicity of some of his phrases, it shines a mature boy trapped in the body of a child, the premature death of the father has matured suddenly making a real little man who still has to learn of the injustices they learn a lot in this life. movie ... I say no more, I leave to you the vision of this excellent This is England and posterity will judge, as I already have given!

PS: Ah! The film is hardly in Italian, then follow my advice and see it in English with Italian subtitles, worth so much;)
