NEDS (Non Educated Delinquents) is the story of a young man's journey from prize-winning schoolboy to knife-carrying teenager. Struggling against the low expectations of those around him John McGill changes from victim to avenger scholar to Ned altar boy to glue sniffer. When he attempts to change back again his new reality and recent past make conformity near impossible and violent self determination near inevitable.
Another fantastic film by Peter Mullen, John is growing up in Glasgow in the 70's his brother is in a gang young John however has a better plan for his life,the film follows him as he is led quickly into a life of destruction. There are however moments in the film where you feel for John when you can see that had his parents,teachers cared or even understood his self destruction could have been prevented. The typical alcoholic father goading him further along (played brilliantly by Mullen) the fear shared by him and his sister as a drunken Mullen abuses his mother.The chaotic life of his older brother and his protective bond to John all shape the character as does making friends with a boy out of his class,each assualt on his self esteem leading him closer to becoming like his brother.Over a summer John becomes a changed character he no longer cares he displays cold violence and shows no remorse,however we are shown another side to John when he displays an almost childlike innocence while pretending to be a pirate.There are many moments in the film when you wish someone could come along and change things but even when John wanted things changed it is never going to happen.There is a sadness in this film it is deep and disturbing not mindless violence but just a need to belong......anywhere......even if that means a gang. I liked the ending a lot of people found it strange but in my opinion it made me realize that John himself accepted his wrong doings and took them gladly to the lions...
