This Is England

This Is England

I watched This Is England recently.

I thought it was great. Set in 1983, the styling and wardrobe were really well done. Even better is the soundtrack.

    I bought it yesterday so I’m hoping it’s as good as people say.

    Brilliant film. I remember the early 1980s very well and it’s spot on.

    The director is Shane Meadows and he’s also made other great films – ‘Dead Man’s Shoes’ (with a superb performance by Paddy Considine) and ’24/7′ (with Bob Hoskins) to name but two.

    And… I have this song on vinyl, bought at the time it was released! :-) My favourite song by Strawberry Switchblade though is ‘Trees and Flowers’. Probably the only pop song ever about agoraphobia…

    Yes very good flick – I’ve got a couple friends from the est Midlands and they are proud of their Ska 2 Tone roots – Still up north for my liking though even though I do love “The Specials” – Too many good tracks to list. Buster blood vessel is a legend as well. There’s a great Music documentary from the early eighties called “Dance Craze” which gives a really good representation of the Ska 2 tone music scene back in the day. I was too young but remember my old man dancing around the living room to Madness, The Specials and The Beat amongst others. It’s just music to move your feet brother.
