It's no definitive masterpiece but it's damn close.
I don't have all the words right now but this film is a work of art.
It's complicated... I really like the directing, acting and writing but, there are issues with the way it's shot that I just can't deny. As much as I love the storytelling and the fantastic performance but, there are also certain scenes that didn't need to exist.
The first must-see film of the year.
A good documentary, the author gave an insider point of view, letting members of the movement speak. The skinhead movement from his original birth in the UK, the widespread in Europe, the rise of "white power" and the leftist counterpart, till the recent homicides in the North America scene. Everything is told by the words of active members, what means to be a skinhead in their opinions, identities, their biographical paths and their minds about their own world. The interviews have been taken from skins belonging to both racist and anti-fascist wing.The documentary is not really focused on skinhead sub-culture, rather on the two wings and the relations between them; some interviews with leaders of ska and punk bands (almost living legends in the scene like Laurel Aitken, Buster Bloodvessel and Jimmy Pursey), some gig live recording.A good document about one of most misunderstood and stigmatized sub-culture ever.
This is a very good film,well documentary,a skinhead-girl travels Europe etc to search out the truth about the skinhead cult.it tells you about the good and bad sides that engulf the skinhead way including the Nazi and sharp skins.very good and great interviews with Roddy Moreno from the oppressed.I agree with the other comments though,the so called American skinheads aren't actually skinheads at all,they are just racist trailer trash,there not smart enough clothes wise or brain wise to be skinheads,the film is very good though all the same.i enjoyed it a lot.if you enjoyed this film my website has everything about the skinhead cult from the very early Jamaican roots to present day and thousands of pictures as well.even interviews with Roddy and more here at www.skinheadawayoflife.com
I saw Skinhead Attitude and I loved the introduction from Bad Manners' Buster, he really has THE concept from the skinhead culture. I think it was very smart to analyze the movement throughout Europe but I think that at some point of the documentary it shows TOO much about Boneheads which is totally absurd. THEY ARE NOT SKINHEADS, so they should not represent such a great part of the documentary. The interview with Lauren Atkin is great!!! The music man!! That's all about!! It would have been really awesome to saw less of what the stupid boneheads have done with our movement and show a lot more of what S.H.A.R.P Skinheads have done during these years. Also, show more about' rude boys and the variety of real Skinheads that exist nowadays (red, traditional, gay and sharp). Anyways, said all that, I think it a very good documentary, well done, nice people and it really gets closer to what the Skinhead Movement was, is and will be about. SKA, OI, BEER, RUDENESS, SOCCER, INTELLIGENCE AND NON RACISM!! Oi Oi Oi!!
This documentary gives a very good insight into the different fractions of the Skinhead-Subculture. The main protagonist is a traditional skaconsuming Skinheadgirl, who travels from place to place around Europe to America to highlight different sides of the movement. Beginning with the birth in the late sixties, the film then concentrates on the political aspect of the whole thing. Which sadly makes it rather repetitive in the end.Since the consumer made up his mind about the political stance long before entering the cinema, there are no fresh notions to be learned in the right/left-discussion at all. The script shifts from an engaging portrait to an excessive tally sheet-like approach.After reaching a controversial peak with the introduction of Combat 18, the film fails to enthrall again and thus the tragic segment about a homicide in Nevada, in itself an entire movie, never really unfolds.It was a bold move to try to outline this contradictionary culture in such a short time, but for a filmviewer, who has no clue about the Skins in general, this is a pretty good initiation.
