Movie: This is England
This Is England is a 2006 British drama film written and
directed by Shane Meadows. The story centres on young skinheads in England in 1983.
Shaun is a troubled
12-year-old boy who lives with his widowed mother and is frequently antagonised
in school and around town. On the last day of the school year, Shaun gets into
a fight at school with a boy named Harvey after Harvey makes an offensive joke
about his father, who was killed in the Falklands War.
Both are dragged off
to the headmaster’s study. The action thereafter takes place off-screen but the
sound effects and the look on Shaun’s face as he waits outside the office for
his turn are memorable.

Judging by the sound effects, the bully didn't seem so tough after all - what a surprise!
