This Is England

I watched This Is England because my brother said it was one of the best movies he ever watched, and he was not wrong.  Only from a technical perspective, this film already deserves praise and recognition. The cinematography, writing and acting is just exceptional. But the music is absolutely phenomenal, every song used elevated that scene into something emotionally and profoundly beautiful.  I love how this film realistically portrays how young people are drawn into ideology's they do not understand yet. Teenagers want to be seen, they want to have friends, belong to a group, and that's why they are so vulnerable to older people with malicious, or in this case, racist ideas.  But what really made this movie stand out to me was how they decided to give every character emotion and personality, even the racist people. There weren't obvious "good vs bad" groups, because it's not like that in real life either. You felt the conflict in the characters, and I think that's really unique.
