Essay notes - Documentary Film - The Filth and The Fury.

During the seventies there was a lot of social problems going on around in different countries especially in England, as from the political sector before the elections, politicians promised a lot and done so few especially for the working class that the working class was becoming a higher rate of a poor class and a lot of identity loss was emerging among the people.

Since there was all the mentioned above going around, people were left with very few jobs or even worse, with no jobs at all and due to this people started to realize that if one wasn’t born in a rich family then he/she might as well give up on their lives as there was no one from the political sector that came up with a solution for such crisis.

All the scandals that were going on were creating a huge social chaos ending up with a lot of riots all over the place which were based on almost every subject you can think of. This naturally became hard times to live in England, and was clear enough that the old ways were not working at all, there was too much of social strive which made people feel powerless due to political incorrectness; so they had to create their own power, whatever power it was, people laid their hands on and there is where crime and hate emerged all over the country. People were not happy at all within all the decisions the government was taking right after enforcing multiculturalism which made English people feel less at home as immigrants were getting social benefits that English people paid for as if they were English and once again another social problem emerged within racism.

Problems being occurred in England, a very hard time English people were living during the seventies’ and as I mentioned above; people started to rebel and this is where Punk all started. Johnny Lydon (a.k.a. Johnny Rotten, Sex Pistols singer) stated that he was never good with violence hence his weapon was words and as one may know such lyrics the Sex Pistols created were very anarchist, he also believes that sometimes things have to happen and other times they should, just like the Sex Pistols, they have had to happen and they did.

Rotten also explained how things were getting all together, one complimenting the other, just like his clothing style, he didn’t just wear torn clothes; yet during all the hard times there was even a garbage strike that took years and naturally a huge pile of bags full of trash was getting bigger by the minute, people started to get used to it or try not to concentrate on such thing like it’s not really happening, so instead of ignoring it Johnny made use of it and started to wrap himself in clothes that he used to find.
