This is England
(2006)

RATING:100%
FORMAT:DVD

An exceptional work; proving White people can understand the complex issues surrounding White supremacy with subtlety.

Post-imperial England is shown as ethnically self-loathing as a minority of Whites easily leads the majority towards an ethnic blame culture. The real sadness is that the Saint George’s Cross could become emblematic of racism.

The performances are all excellent, particularly the precocious Thomas TURGOOSE and the superb Stephen GRAHAM - who gets under the skin of the racist mentality, brilliantly. You feel oddly sorry for the fact his father never loved him and that his idea of love is drunken fornication. He is constantly on the edge of another violent outburst because no one really likes him as he increasingly traps himself within his self-isolating delusions. Self-hatred positively oozes from the screen: A loser never seemed more lost.

Science:



No science is immune to the infection of politics and the corruption of power.



Jacob Bronowski… (1908 - 74), British scientist, author. Encounter (London, July 1971).


Sleep of Reason:



The dream of reason produces monsters. Imagination deserted by reason creates impossible, useless thoughts. United with reason, imagination is the mother of all art and the source of all its beauty.



Francisco José de Goya y Lucientes… (1746-1828), Spanish painter. Caption to Caprichos, number 43, a series of eighty etchings completed in 1798, satirical and grotesque in form.


Humans & Aliens:



I am human and let nothing human be alien to me.



Terence… (circa 190-159 BC), Roman dramatist. Chremes, in The Self-Tormentor [Heauton Timorumenos], act 1, scene 1.


Führerprinzip:



One leader, one people, signifies one master and millions of slaves… There is no organ of conciliation or mediation interposed between the leader and the people, nothing in fact but the apparatus - in other words, the party - which is the emanation of the leader and the tool of his will to oppress. In this way the first and sole principle of this degraded form of mysticism is born, the Führerprinzip, which restores idolatry and a debased deity to the world of nihilism.



Albert Camus… (1913-60), French-Algerian writer & philosopher. The Rebel: An Essay on Man in Revolt: New York: Vintage Books, (1984; page 182.)
