This Is England
Director: Shane Meadows
Cast: Thomas Turgoose, Stephen Graham, Joseph Gilgun and more
Plot outline: Shaun is being bullied by everyone around him, so when Woody and his crew offer sympathy, Shaun is drawn into a new world of voilence and nationalism.
Strong acting and believable characters, music that enhances the images and a setting relatively unexplored perviously in cinema; all of this makes "This is England" a top 10 in my book. Each and every character has a depth that goes beyond the screen or the script, that each viewer is left to fill in for him- or herself, and I feel sympathy towards each and every character as the story unfolds. Rather than preaching the story about the innocent, lonely little boy who is ruined by malicious, older nationalists, this story tells us that they are all victims in different ways. Emotional, but in an authentic way, and definitely topical today, even though it is set more than 20 years ago.
