「THIS IS ENGLAND」鑑賞

Kingink 映画評

日本じゃ殆ど無名の存在だが、イギリスで注目されている映画監督にシェーン・メドウスという監督がいて、派手なアクションとかCGIとは無縁の、ミッドランズ地方を舞台にした社会派作品をコツコツと作っている職人肌の監督なのであります。第２のケン・ローチになる存在じゃないかな。そんな彼の自伝的映画「THIS IS ENGLAND」がアメリカでも高い評価を受けていたのでさっそく観てみる。

舞台は1983年のイギリス。12歳の少年ショーンは父親をフォークランド紛争で亡くし、学校では友達ができずにいじめられる毎日だった。そんな彼はふとしたことからスキンヘッズの若者たちと友達になり、彼らの一員となって楽しく遊ぶようになる。しかしある日、彼らのリーダーだったコンボという男が刑務所から帰ってきた。刑務所でナショナル・フロント（イギリス国民戦線）の極右思想に感化された彼は、積極的に移民の排斥活動を行おうとしてショーンたちのグループを二分してしまう。コンボの側についたショーンは、自らも人種差別や犯罪活動に手を染めていくことになる…。というのが主なプロット。

俺もちょうどこの頃イギリスに住んでいたけど、あの当時の独特な雰囲気を的確に再現している点が素晴らしい。サッチャー政権のもとで失業者は増加し、フォークランドでは多くの兵士が殺され、冷戦の暗い雲がたちこめるなかナショナル・フロントは力を増していったんだよな。あとコンボとジャマイカ系スキンヘッドの微妙な関係とか（スキンヘッド文化はもともとジャマイカ系移民が始めた）の描写も興味深い。最近はイギリスでもスキンヘッズは減ってきたらしいが、１つのカルチャーをきちんと映像に収めたという意味では「さらば青春の光」に匹敵する傑作かと。

    The Contradiction of an Australian Cigarette Website: Health Advice vs. Sales

    There is an online platform offering customers in Australia the ability to purchase cigarettes and tobacco with delivery to their door. The website, which operates under the name Australia Tobacconist Hub, is full of mixed messages: aggressive marketing of cheap cigarettes alongside formal warnings about the dangers of smoking.

    Product Range

    The platform’s main target audience is people who smoke seeking lower prices. Among the products listed are:

    Double Happiness brand — $190 per carton (10 packs x 20’s)
    Manchester Sapphire Blue – Dubai Version — $220 per carton
    Manchester Special Edition Flow Red – Dubai Edition — $250 per carton
    Manchester Blue Crush (Dubai Version) — $250 per block
    Dunhill Blue (UK Version) — $220 per block
    Dunhill Red – UK Edition — $190 per block
    Benson & Hedges Gold — $160 per block
    Zhongnanhai (???) — $180 per carton

    The seller stresses “affordable rates” (Cheap Tobacco Australia) and the availability of popular brands such as Marlboro, Manchester, Bossku, and Double Happiness.

    Delivery and Payment Methods

    The seller promises quick, dependable, and private shipping across Australia (Fast Tobacco Delivery Australia). They say they process bank transfers, USDT (cryptocurrency), PayPal, Wise, and other methods. Customer interaction is done via WhatsApp and email — a common practice in the shadow economy for online tobacco sales.

    A Strange Contrast

    Curiously enough, the identical platform that sells cigarettes (while formally warning that selling to persons under 18 is illegal) also shows a “STOP SMOKING” graphic with an image of a cigarette passing through human lungs.

    In a section titled “STOP TOBACCO”, the text reads:

    “Giving up smoking is hard, but every effort counts. Within minutes, your body starts recovering — and as time goes by, your health and energy come back. Begin your journey now!”

    This anti-smoking advice appears right next to a product catalogue selling cartons for $160–$250 and a call to action: “Buy Cigarettes Online in Australia at the Best Price.” Such mixed communication is common of illegal or semi-legal cigarette sellers that try to feign social responsibility while still pushing harmful goods.

    Potential Legal Problems

    The text fails to mention whether the seller has a valid Australian retail license for tobacco. Australia is famous for some of the strictest tobacco laws in the world, including standardised packaging rules and extremely high excise taxes. The offer of “cheap” cigarettes — especially “Dubai Edition” or “UK Version” — often points to untaxed, smuggled, or counterfeit goods.

    Conclusion

    The online shop described above is a textbook example of a shadow online tobacco business. It profits from smokers’ wish for cheaper prices in the midst of Australia’s expensive official cigarette prices, while hiding behind superficial “Stop Smoking” slogans and promises of good service. Those thinking of purchasing should remember that purchasing unregulated cigarettes carries not only the chance of legal trouble but also a total absence of any assurance regarding product safety and authenticity.
