TRAMA con spoiler (Italiano)

Londra, 1964. Jimmy è un membro di una banda di Mods (dall'inglese Modernists, giovani ben vestiti che guidano scooter italiani come Lambretta e Vespa). I Mods sono contrapposti ai Rockers, il cui stile è analogo a quello dei seguaci del rock and roll americano anni '50, vestiti con giubbotti di pelle in sella a grosse motociclette. Incompreso in famiglia e costretto a un lavoro da fattorino, Jimmy cerca la soluzione alle sue ansie giovanili all'interno della sua banda, insieme ai suoi amici Dave, Chalky e Spider facendo uso e abuso di alcol e di pillole "blu", una non ben identificata droga (probabilmente anfetamina). Tre giorni di festa, chiamata in inglese "Bank Holiday" sono il pretesto per portare all'apice la rivalità fra le due bande, che culmina con gli scontri a Brighton, cittadina della costa orientale britannica, dove orde di Mods e Rockers si affrontano in una vera e propria battaglia: il film rievoca, così un episodio realmente accaduto e conosciuto come "la battaglia di Brighton" avvenuta nel maggio del 1964. Jimmy è arrestato, in seguito ai disordini, insieme a "Asso" (in inglese Ace Face, interpretato da Sting), considerato l'idolo dei Mods, un ragazzo dallo stile perfetto con uno scooter invidiato da tutti. Ma l'intemperanza del giovane e il ritrovamento da parte della madre di alcune pillole blu nascoste sotto il materasso, costringono i genitori ad allontanarlo da casa; anche Steph, la ragazza di cui Jimmy era innamorato e che aveva partecipato con lui agli avvenimenti di Brighton, lo scarica. Deluso e amareggiato Jimmy prende il treno delle 5:15, per tornare sul luogo dove, una volta nella vita, si era sentito veramente un mod e dove aveva trovato una ragione di vita. Camminando per la città rivede "Asso" e il suo scooter parcheggiato, ma non può credere ai suoi occhi. "Asso" è in realtà un facchino (bell boy) di un hotel e porta le valige ai facoltosi ospiti. Il crollo psicologico e il derivante impeto d'ira portano Jimmy a rubare lo scooter di "Asso" per dirigersi verso la scogliera, per affrontare il proprio destino. (wikipedia)




PLOT whit spoiler (English)

Quadrophenia is a 1979 British film based on the 1973 rock opera album Quadrophenia by The Who. The film stars Phil Daniels in the leading role as a Mod named Jimmy. The film also stars Toyah Willcox, Mark Wingett, Leslie Ash, Ray Winstone, Timothy Spall, Gary Holton, Phil Davis, Michael Elphick, Kate Williams, Sting, John Altman and Trevor Laird. It was directed by Franc Roddam in his feature directing debut.
In 2004 the magazine Total Film named Quadrophenia the 35th greatest British film of all time.
The cast were reunited after 28 years at Earls Court on 1 and 2 September 2007 as part of 'The Quadrophenia Reunion' at the
'London Film & Comic Con' run by Quadcon.co.uk. Subsequently the cast have agreed to be part of a Quadrophenia Convention at Brighton in 2009.

The film, set in 1964, follows the story of Jimmy Cooper (Phil Daniels), a London Mod (one of a group fashion-obsessed working-class youths who listen to African-American soul, Jamaican ska, and British beat music and R&B, take amphetamines and ride Vespa and Lambretta scooters). The Mods' arch-enemies are the Rockers, who in turn wear black leather and ride motorcycles. Disillusioned by his parents and a dead-end job as a post room boy in an advertising firm, Jimmy finds an outlet for his teenage angst with his Mod pals Dave (Mark Wingett), Chalky (Philip Davis) and Spider (Gary Shail). However, his angst and confusion are compounded by the fact that one of his Rocker rivals is in fact childhood friend Kevin (Ray Winstone), to whom he comments, "I don't wanna be like everybody else – that's why I'm a Mod, see?"
A bank holiday weekend provides the excuse for the rivalry between the two gangs to come to a head, as they both descend upon the seaside town of Brighton. A series of running battles ensues, based on the real-life "Second Battle of Hastings" riot of 1964. As the police close in on the rioters, Jimmy escapes down an alleyway with Steph (Leslie Ash), a girl on whom he has a crush, to have sex. When the pair emerge, Jimmy is arrested and later fined £50.
Back in London, Jimmy becomes increasingly depressed and unstable as his life begins to fall apart. He is thrown out of his house by his mother, who finds his stash of blues (blue amphetamine pills). He then quits his job, blows his severance package on blues, and finds out that Steph has become the girlfriend of his mate Dave. After a fight with Dave, Jimmy crashes his scooter, and, high on pills, takes a train to a now tranquil Brighton in an attempt to recapture the elation he felt during the holiday weekend. He revisits the scene of his encounter with Steph, and then discovers that his idol, the suave Mod "poster boy" Ace Face (played by Sting), is in reality a lowly bellboy at a Brighton hotel. He steals Ace's scooter and heads out to the cliffs at Beachy Head, where he rides towards the cliff edge. The film ends with the scooter smashing on the rocks below. When the final shots of falling scooter are played in slow motion, a figure, presumably Jimmy, is visible standing at the top of the cliff. Since the film also opens with a shot of Jimmy walking back from the cliff edge, it can be assumed that he jumped clear at the last second.
An interesting and well known continuity error in the film is that in the final scenes with Jimmy riding Ace's scooter along the cliffs, some scenes show the scooter to have a fly screen and other show it without. The shadow of the filming helicopter can also be seen as well as the tracks from the scooter from previous takes. (WIKIPEDIA)
