This is England

TSS and I went to see the Boynton Beach Club as TSS had free tickets. When we got to the Dendy we found that Boynton Beach Club was not on so we went to see "This is England" instead.

This movie is about the punk era in Yorkshire, England. Set in 1983 about a 12 year old boy who joins a teenage group of skin heads in the long summer holidays. It is semi autobiographical for the director.

• It is about Thatcherism and the Falklands war,
  
• it is about immigration and fatherless children,
  
• the haves and the have nots,
  
• its a powerful movie and will stay with me for a long time.

Not necessarily a movie I would see again.
