Green Street Hooligans
Football fans in Britain take fandom to extremes by forming “firms”, which is really just a nice word for a gang, and take the game to the streets. It’s an interesting movie, and one that exposes viewers to worlds previously not known. I really liked the film, mostly for the acting, less so for the content. If the story bears any resemblance to society, then it’s a sad one indeed, where humans expend their energy in useless brawls, making everyone think they are doing great things by “standing their ground.” Luckily the main character came away with the true moral, which is that there is a time to stand your ground, and a time to fight another day. A movie to make you think though, and there aren’t many more of those these days.
