Essay Green Street Hooligan
Hooliganism
The film Green Street Hooligans (2006) is about some young boys and their relation to hooliganism. In the film we meet Matt Buckner, who is getting wrongfully expelled from Harvard. He moves to London to his sister, Shannon, but gets dragged into the violent world of football and hooliganism. Matt’s sister is married to the earlier Major, Steve, who has a brother, Pete, which is now controlling their firm. (GSE) Matt visits his sister and Steve, when Pete is also there. Pete is forced to take Matt to football game and in the beginning they don’t get along. But after some drinking and fighting they get along. The movie ends when Matt is still involved to the hooliganism and at big fight against their rivals Pete gets killed.
I think the reason why young people join gangs because community it gives you. Another reason could be the adrenalin kick, the reputation and the status it is giving them. To me it seems like they are missing content in their life. If you notice in the movie, you will notice that the gang don’t even wear a football t-shirt, and that shows that they actually cares for the more for the fighting than the football match. This shows that they don’t arrive to see the football, but more to be a part of the group.
Matt: “I never lived closer to danger. But I’d never felt safer. I’d never felt more confident. And people could spot it from a mile away. And as for this, the violence, I gotta be honest. It grew on me. Once you’ve taken a few punches and realize you’re not made of glass, you don’t feel alive unless you’re pushing yourself as far as you can go.”
In this quote Matt is saying that even though he is living close to danger has he never felt safer, and I believe that the reason is because he is living rough, but he is still having his boys behind him and he knows that they would help him if he was in trouble. Even though he had a tough period he have grown stronger and become more confident than he have ever been before.
