Warning: this description and these clips contain SPOILERS. If you have never seen the film "This is England" or it's three TV miniseries sequels, and you plan to at some point in the future, you should stop reading now, and do NOT watch these clips! In addition, you might want to watch the clips FIRST before reading the descriptions below.
Unknown by most people in the US, "This is England" was a hardhitting 2006 British drama, written and directed by Shane Meadows. The story centered on young skinheads in 1983 England. The film illustrated how their subculture, which had its roots in 1960 West Indies culture, was adopted by white nationalists, which led to divisions within the skinhead scene. The film was followed by three miniseries sequels, "This is England 86 / 88 / 90".
In this 2nd compilation, taken from the final miniseries, "This is England 90" (set 7 years after the original film), Combo has come out of two more prison sentences a reformed and repentant man, who has finally found peace and happiness within himself as he leaves his job to eat lunch. He is surprised by Milky, who's face shows the permanent scars of Combo's vicious attack at the end of the first film. Milky wants to go to a local cafe to talk the past incident out, "man to man". Combo is wary, but he reluctantly goes along. In the cafe, he emotionally apologizes for what he did to Milky, saying that he will never forgive himself for it, but hoping that one day, Milky will be able to.
What happens next is unexpected and unforgettable. Im not going to describe what transpires, except to say that the words screamed out (heard from a distant POV) and the final remorseful facial expression at the end of this clip (and the series) are absolutely heartbreaking. The original film, and the series, are brilliant masterpieces in every way.
