I finished watching This is England (dir. Shane Meadows, 2006) today, after having started it when Joe was here. I rather liked it; I think it was a pretty good view of things. I think I got the idea to see it from Casey — thanks, Casey! It’s about a young boy who gets involved with a group of skinheads in 1980s England (in a small-ish town). Originally, it’s a supportive (if rebelious) group, but they’re [re]joined by a guy named Combo, an older skinhead with nationalist (see: neo-Nazi) ideas. (He’s played by the same guy who plays Tommy in Snatch, Stephen Graham. Which is weird. But he does a fantastic job, and the character is fascinating.) And the group splits, and the young boy ends up becoming involved in things that are upsetting (for him, for us). Anyway, a good movie.

I had some nightmares last night. Quite unpleasant. I need to do some exercise, no.
