Kick Off!

To kick things off, I have decided to use this first post to introduce the blog, its purpose and share something slightly related to that aforementioned purpose.

This blog is quite simply titled: The 'Movie' Blog. 

The 'Movie' Blog was created simply out of the necessity for four people to pass a certain subject at a certain educational institution. You should have guessed by now that those four people chose 'Movies' as the topic for this particular blog and as such every post from now shall contain some inherent link to the broad subject matter that is known as 'movies'. The four authors and moderators of this blog shall take turns to make regular posts so as to contribute to the level of success of The 'Movie' Blog. Haha, I'm just kidding, the only reason we wish to post regularly, is because it is a requirement of this assignment and we wish to milk every mark we possibly can out of this group task.

Now that I have all that out of the way, I have been spending an awful amount of the past 5 days watching movies thanks to a certain injury that was sustained as a result of mixing: a little too much alcohol, a slippery dance floor and flawed judgement. 
Anyways, one of the movies that I have not been able to stop watching, is 'The Football Factory'. 








The 2004 film set in England provides a view of the violent culture of 'football hooliganism' as it details the lives of the firm (army) of anglo-saxon males who use their allegiance to Chelsea F.C. (Football Club) and their hatred of rival football clubs as an excuse for getting high, drunk and belligerent on a saturday afternoon (the day on which most football games are played).


The movie is shot in a documentary style, from the voice of main character Tommy Johnson who is played by 'Danny Dyer' (pictured above) and proves to be extremely funny as you witness the story of the four main characters (Tommy, Bill Bright, Zeberdee and Bill Farrell) unfold.


I'd recommend this for anyone who liked 'Green Street Hooligans', 'Rise of the Footsoldier' or 'The Firm'.

Peace!

Shaq.
