This is the reason I bought a scooter 15 years ago, the reason I wore a parka, Fred Perry t-shirts, desert boots, Levis etc. I first saw the film and thought "Great, Mods, fighting, scooters". It is much more than that. It is a study of one young working class lad's struggle to find himself and be unique. The Who's songs tell the full story. Revisit this as an adult and look beyond the fashions you will see an excellent film and a wonderfully powerful performance from Phil Daniels.
