This Is England '86

In the space of 18 hours, I've sat and watched all of the new four-part Drama 'This Is England '86', a continuance from the 2006 film, 'This Is England'.

And boy, was that shocking.

Not for the faint-hearted, I know that only a couple of my friends would choose to watch it as well. My mum loves this stuff, but even she was spazzing out a bit at some of the brutal scenes at the end of each episode.

But one thing's for sure, the cinematography in these films is BEAUTIFUL. I've watched some beautiful films and these episodes are surely part of them. Main character Lol - I would bonk her if I was mildly intoxicated. Eli from Emmerdale, what more can you want? And more cast members with cheeky names such as Gadget, Meggy, Smell, Trev and, my personal favourite, Milky.

The harrowing piano notes through the scene where the 'skinheads' are surrounding their old, heart-attack prone friend at the hospital are, quite simply, beautiful. If they release the soundtrack and that song is on there, I'm bloody buying it.

I just wish I had the money and resources to film my own harrowing British drama that everyone would love.

:)

P.S. I want Lol's airwears and I want Trev's hair.

You've gotta watch it.
