Disadvantages: racial

...this is england focuses on life in the 80's. the film follows a young boy called shaun(Thomas Turgoose) bored on his summer holidays finds woody(Joseph Gilgun) shaun then discovers the wonders of 1980's parties skinheads and ben sherman. introduce combo, skin head, racist and dangerous. just released from prison he converts shaun cleverly using his farther who died in the Falklands war. the film shows the harsh reality of racism in the 80's. shaun sucked into a world where only people of his kind are wanted. the film explores 1980's lifestlye . for me the film showed me the amount of racism that goes on, and shows how easily a 12 year old boy can become involved. i enjoyed this film, the acting is good and shows the 1980 lifestyle very well. however this film can offend some people due to the amount of racism involved in the story line...

You really don't have any idea until the very end.... Read review
