"You can’t join if you can’t swear." New post at @stronglang on swearing as a childhood rite of passage in wartime London:
https://stronglang.wordpress.com/2025/05/29/swearing-as-a-rite-of-passage/#swearing #profanity #film #language #JohnBoorman #WWII #StrongLanguage

Swearing as a rite of passage
Think about your earliest swearing. Did you graduate from euphemisms? (As a child I used sugar, drat, and flip/feck for shit, damn, and fuck.) Or did you jump right into prodigious profanity? Did you practise in private, and did you try out your new vocabulary among friends – or in front of shocked family members?
Or maybe, as in John Boorman’s Hope and Glory (1987), you were forced to swear. In this period film, which reimagines the director’s childhood in London during the Blitz, coming of age meant coming to terms with the senselessness of war and the elusive sense of swearwords.
As Boorman writes in his wonderful memoir, Adventures of a Suburban Boy, the film was “a way of looking at my personal mythology”. For a child in wartime, some of that mythology centred on ammunition, an object of constant fascination:
We kids rampaged through the ruins, the semis [semi-detached houses] opened up like dolls’ houses, the precious privacy shamefully exposed. We took pride in our collection of shrapnel. Most of it came from our own anti-aircraft shells, which also did more damage to roofs than the Luftwaffe. I often picked up fragments that were still hot and smelt of gunpowder. . . . The most prized acquisition of all was live ammunition. We would lock bullets in a vice and detonate them by hammering nails into their heads.
This is recreated in Hope and Glory in a scene where Billy – Boorman’s surrogate – encounters a gang of boys while out scouring the ruins for treasure. They want to see what he’s made of and conduct some routine intimidation, before realising their common enemy. The mood warms enough for the leader, Roger, to invite Billy into the gang. But first he must pass an unusual test (transcript from 2:10 below):
Roger: Do you wanna join our gang?
Billy: Don’t mind.
R: Do you know any swear words?
B: Yes.
R: Say them.
B: [hesitates]
R: Go on. Say them. You can’t join if you can’t swear.
B: Uh, I only know one.
All: [laughter]
R: Well say that one then.
B: [hesitates]
R: [shoves Billy] Go on.
B: Fuck.
All: [gasp]
R: That word is special. That word is only used for something really important. Now repeat after me: Bugger off.
B: Bugger off.
R: Sod.
B: Sod.
R: Bloody.
B: Bloody.
R: Now put them all together: Bugger off, you bloody sod.
B: Bugger off, you bloody sod.
R: [smiles] Okay, you’re in.
All: [cheering]
R: Let’s smash things up.
All: [loud cheering]There’s much to enjoy in this scene. The specific innocence of children of that age and time. The camaraderie waiting behind their show of toughness. Their unselfconscious naïveté about swearing; their awe at fuck.* This viewer’s immense relief that none of them is hurt by the reckless play with explosives.
And I love how swearing plays a central role in Billy’s initiation. A string of (very British) swears is the key, the set of magic words that establishes rapport with a group of his peers, dissolving the boundary between outsider and insider and nudging him just slightly towards adulthood.
*
* For a Boorman film that went in another direction, see my post on avoiding swear words in the making of Deliverance.

John Boorman – „Der Schneider von Panama“ (2001)
Klassisches britisches Kino. Obwohl es ein durch und durch amerikanischer Film ist. Doch wenn ein englischer Großregisseur ein Drehbuch des Großmeisters John le Carré mit einem Iren in der Hauptrolle besetzt, der gerade noch als 007 das Empire und die Welt retten durfte, dann kommt das eben dabei heraus. Ein kleines, selbstironisches Kunstwerk, das tagespolitisch aktueller kaum in die Zeit passt. (ZDF, WH)

3 things about John Boorman’s HELL IN THE PACIFIC [1968]
1. Devouring a raw fish.
2. Sand garden.
3. A discarded photograph of a young Japanese woman.Be sure to watch the “alternate ending,” which was the director’s preferred one.

John Boorman’s Excalibur (1981) is a slightly divisive Arthurian movie but its strengths outweigh its weaknesses and Boorman couldn't make a dull movie if he tried. Boorman claimed this movie kicked off the sword-and-sorcery boom.

John Boorman’s Point Blank (1967), one of the movies that ushered in a new age for movies (for better or worse) and created the neo-noir. An enigmatic, hallucinatory, dream-like movie. Lee Marvin and Angie Dickinson are terrific. Worth seeing.
