Wall of Mouths

when I saw your thread’s title,I first thought it was about The Clash’s song :rolleyes: .I read the synopsis of the movie and apparently it will be shown in France next month.I’ll try to go and watch it ;)

Just watched the trailer. Looks like it could be a good one. Will have to wait for the DVD to come out though as this film won’t be shown around these shores.

Skinheads representing England ? :rolleyes:

Great. I hope it shows them to be a load of wankers who dont respect anyone or anything and we’re not all like that :mad:

I went to see it last week and I thought it was excellent, but I was very disappointed that it was an 18 cert, especially as it was written and produced with a target audience of 12-16 year olds! It’s censorship gone mad! The racist abuse and the violence (which you only THINK you’ve seen anyway) are absolutely fundamental to the story and because of the rating the only people who won’t get to see it are the people that Meadows wrote it for :rolleyes:

It’s a really touching film, but some people will find it childish and simplistic - there’s no political commentary at all. And people who remember 1983 will be both impressed and horribly embarrassed by the attention to period detail.

Well said, Mrs H.

It is believed that Bristol overturned the 18 certificate to allow 15 year olds to see it. The violence is nothing new, kids would’ve seen it day in and day out. Had someone like Alan Clark, Stanley Kubrick or even Danny Boyle made the film, perhaps politics might have played a part.

What I liked about the film was that it showed that skinheads were not always political and did not hate other races (Milky, proving the point). But the film dealt with the National Front issue really well; it doesn’t hide the matter that most skinheads of that time were racist apart from the odd hand full.

And too right, I’m getting the DVD.

Shame there isn’t much of that SHARP logo going around.

Two aul ones wearing Docs having a go at each other , now that would be fun !

We could direct our walking racks to the pub afterwards and discuss the merits of the early 80s over a game of checkers and a nice brandy.

Ahhhh, this reminds me of the golden age of youth violence:

“England”

The red in the flag
is the blood that was spilt
in the way that your forefathers tell
And never a country been so great
The stories Britannia could tell

I never want to live my life
away from the golden shores
There’s never a country in the world
with the scent of an English rose

England, oh England a country so great
the land of so fair and so true
There’ll never be any colours like
the red, the white and the blue

Whenever you go to the far-off shores
there’s something that goes with you
The pride and the joy and the love
that comes from your mother of red, white and blue

You could never be born under a flag
that’s like the one of the Union Jack
St. George’s spirit has never died
It all keeps coming back

England, oh England… [5x]

Doh, go complain to Mensi, I for one did not write that tune :mad:

I’m up for it though, I ain’t no bottler!

THIS IS EEEEENNNNGEEERLAND, THIS IS HOW I FEEL…

Wha…? Ah, sorry, wrong tune.

DA SKINHEAD MOONSTOMP, umtschagga umtschagga umtschagga umtschagga

Why are you wearing white laces on yer Docs?

My wife had white docs for our wedding. Not for the ceremony itself - she bowed to convention and did the girly thing for that - but for the reception on the evening she had a white trouser suit and white docs - She insisted she had to have some of her “ladette” side creeping into things!

No no no, that was my other wife…shhhhhh

*fears you were right first time*

Tampere used to be the headcapital city of of those dumbballs here in Finland. I know many old “bald heads” here and most of those have changed to better these days. The older you get, the wiser you get:)
I want see that movie!

I liked Requiem. Because I have never done drugs and I dont plan on it either ! :D

Its a good anti-drugs film !
