the only thing i saw about it was that even bad people repent and that sometimes you are just too young to understand
a totaly different film to the one i thought i was going to watch based on some reviews on here in the past

PassionFord Post Whore!!
Very very good film and for anyone who grew up in a working class environment in the early 80's it holds a special appeal.
It raises the questions for the young lad and him coming to terms with loosing his father in the Falklands war
It also raises the problem faced by the skinhead movement which was never traditionally a racist culture, in fact one embracing black music such as reggae and Ska hence Milky, but nationalists from the National Front using the look etc for their own ends, the footage of the meeting they have in the remote pub where then NF official comes in his XJS to address the crowd could be today with the BNP
And then you get back to the whole relationship and struggle between the young lad and the racist skinhead
Especially at the end when he realises that its wrong and not what he wants, good triumphing over bad.

dead man shoes is an exceptional film, especially when he is standing at the door in that gas mask and one of them fellas sees him while he is off his head on pills, and when he walks into that cafe and says to him "what you fu**kin lookin at" and he replies "you, you fuc*in cu*t" brilliant!!
