Imagine being a young boy in England during the 1980s, surrounded by tough people who seem to have all the answers, but you’re just trying to figure out who you are. In This Is England, a boy named Shaun finds himself pulled into a group of skinheads who influence his life in ways he never expected.
Some fans think the film is about how young people, especially teenagers, can be influenced by others, and how it’s easy to lose yourself when you’re looking for a sense of belonging. Others wonder if Shaun’s decision to join the skinheads could have turned out differently if he had stayed with his childhood friends instead. What if Shaun had walked away from the dangerous path, choosing to be his own person?
One key moment in the film is when Shaun starts to realize the dangerous impact the group is having on him. It’s a turning point where he sees how far things have gone.
Imagine an alternate ending where Shaun chooses a different group to belong to, or a prequel showing how the skinhead culture formed and influenced these characters. How different would Shaun’s life have been if he had made another choice?
