This Is England

This film has alot of views and takes that dont go so well with rationality, but i love that the film does not shy away from portraying how crude and messed up some people are capable of being. The biggest thing to take away from this movie is the characters and how developed they all are and how natural and real everyone feels. All the actors in this movie were great. The child character Shawn, Woody, Lol and Combo. They all feel like people you could possibly come across in your everyday life.

The cinematography wasnt bad. Alot of static wide shots of characters walking in slow motion. Mostly handheld when theres a group of characters hanging out, and face close ups when two characters are having a more serious disscusions.

The music is alot of fun as well. There was a raggae sounding track, and an acoustic instrumental folk sounding track. The composition was neat, nothing that really stood out however i appreciate how it was used in a very pivotal scene nearing the conclusion.
