Scum

Scum is a film made in 1979 portraying the brutality of life inside a British borstal. Directed by Alan Clarke and starring Ray Winstone, Mick Ford, Julian Firth, John Blundell, Phil Daniels and Ray Burdis, it tells the story of a young offender named Carlin as he arrives at the institution, and his rise through violence and self-protection to the top of the inmates' pecking order, purely as a tool to survive. Beyond Carlin's individual storyline, it is also cast as an indictment of the borstal system's flaws in terms of its ineffectiveness at rehabilitating inmates, instead just turning them into even more broken individuals.

:01:13

Carlin, is it?

:01:15

-- Is it?
-- Yes, sir.

:01:19

Don't look much to me, Carlin.

Speak when I tell you, lad.

You have heard of us, eh?

:01:41

-- Heard of us, have you?
-- Yes, sir.

:01:44

-- And what did you hear?
-- Nothing, sir.

:01:47

I'll tell you, lad, "nothing"
was not the correct information.

:01:52

Because we're having your
hooligan guts for garters.

:01:56

-- Right?
-- Yes, sir.
