My 2013 Film Diary (81 movies items)

" + Great acting from the British hooligans. Especially Pete and Bovver were very good. + Very spectacular fighting scenes. + As a football fan I really liked the story, because I don't know a lot about hooligans. - I didn't like Elijah Wood as a hooligan. It didn't work for me. 8/10"

"Watched on the 24th. This is not soccer! Not a bad movie, a pretty cool look at the violent side of football. "

Boring and Vulgar

“I really didn't like this film that much. Swearing and fighting appeals to the lowest common denominator of humanity. Maybe it was funny that Eligh Wood got beaten up a bit, but I still didn't like it. This type of stuff makes Great Britain look like a place of dirty crap, and I say this in the nicest way possible. Football hooligans and stuff like that I don't like. I thought the British just watched Match of the Day and drank Guinness, well, my mistake.

I would avoid this totally. But, if you want to hear such appalling use of the English language, then by all means, watch this crap.” read more

"22/02/2013 Tirkistys pitkästä aikaa jalkapallohuligaaneihin. Mitä nyt itse vähän olen asiaa elokuvien puolella tutkaillut, brittihuligaaneja kuvattaessa poikkeuksetta ollaan West Hamin kannattajia ja pahikset on Millwallin puolella. Eikä Green Street Hooligans tee poikkeusta tässä. Huligaaneja ei tässäkään tunnu jalkapallo oikeastaan kiinnostavan minkään vertaa, vaan jalkapallosta saadaan vain tekosyy silmittömän väkivallan viljelyyn. Green Street Hooligans näyttää ihan hien"

An exceedingly powerful drama

“"You don't run, not when you're with us... You stand your ground and fight!"

On the surface, Green Street Hooligans looks to be a film about football hooliganism and football in general, as it's set in England and concerns avid fans of the sport. However, it's far deeper and more compelling than the premise suggests. Co-written and directed by female German filmmaker Lexi Alexander, Green Street Hooligans is reportedly part autobiographical, which lends a sense of authenticity and grit to the production. Unexpectedly powerful, the movie is predominantly a study of divided loyalties, relationships, friendships and the cost of violence, emerging as far more than just a straightforward story about football.
