ABOUT SHANE

3. Shane’s style is fairly unique with a
sense of reality in every film he
produces. When watching his films
you get a feeling of realness, as if the
film is true by the simple filming
techniques and the very English real
dramatic acting. He often uses the
same actors in films for some un
known reason. Shane meadows style is
truly un settling and keeps you fixed
on the film.

4. A story about a troubled boy growing
up in England, set in 1983. He comes
across a few skinheads on his way
home from school, after a fight. They
become his new best friends eve n
like family. This film was also also
based on personal experiences that
Shane encountered in his younger
years.
This Is England is my favourite film
because it has some of my favourite
actors in it.
THIS IS ENGLAND

5. A disaffected soldier returns to
his hometown to get even with
the thugs who brutalized his
mentally-challenged brother years
ago.
This film is brutal and not for the
faint hearted but again Shane uses
a way of directing way of filming
that making it feel real.
