The Mods are the counterparts of the Rockers, with which they are always in the clinch. The Rockers go dressed in black leather and riding on motorcycles. Disillusioned by his parents and a dead-end job on a advertising agency, finds Jimmy only an outlet for his teenage angst at its mod-friends Dave, Chalky and Spider. A three-day holiday gives both gangs to take each other in an excuse to the sea lying to Brighton. The film is a reflection of the proto-for-Thatcherige punky, United Kingdom. It lets good it with amphetamine -filled narcissism of youth see from the 1960s . A central motif in the film is the idea of two gangs (Mods vs. Rockers) at that time, that finally escalates to a bloody fight at a Beach in Brighton. This event was based on a really happened fight. ===The end[ Edit] === In the famous end of "Quadrophenia" it seems that Jimmy himself from a Cliff let drift off as a form of suicide. Although Jimmy does not really see in this scene, we see the scooter fly through the air and free climbing on the rocks . This event has quite a debate whether or not this los do crack or Jimmy would be dead. The average answer is that Jimmy by his scooter should have jumped, right before he death could fall. Several cast members have said that the opening scene of the film is equal to the end. To see that Jimmy is unharmed (and without scooter) runs away from the cliff. The hubbub about the final scene of the movie is largely misplaced, because the main character clearly in an instant on the top of the cliff to see is (completely unharmed), while the scooter floats through the air. The opening scene is indeed Jimmy that wraps to the overhang from the cliff top. Symbolically, he has put the modcultuur at the coarse dirt (and in doing so the scooter of the Ace Face). In addition, he found out that the Ace Face not what he turns out to be. Jimmy realizes in this way that the whole mod-are based on fragile foundations. ==Aftermath<span class="mw-editsection-bracket" len="1" style="color:rgb(85,85,85);">[ Edit<span class="mw-editsection-bracket" len="1" style="color:rgb(85,85,85);">] == <p style="margin-top:0.5em;line-height:22.399999618530273px;color:rgb(37,37,37);font-family:sans-serif;">The film was received quite negative by the critics and was rejected because of large amounts of sex, violence, drug abuse, and bad mouth because that was unusual at that time. "Quadrophenia" also got a name because there were many children who attended to see the movie, while they were young. Nevertheless, today the film is considered a cult classic and as a realistic reflection of youth culture in the 1960s. Many have praised Phil Daniels ' now therefore occur.

This revival paved the way for a career for bands as: Secret Affair, The Chords and The Lambrettas, who used the popularity of The Jam. Sting's appearance in the movie also gave his band The Police a positive turn in the back, while their total music does not conform me the traditional mod-taste. ==Soundtrack<span class="mw-editsection" len="336" style="-webkit-user-select:none;font-size:small;margin-left:1em;line-height:1em;display:inline-block;white-space:nowrap;unicode-bidi:-webkit-isolate;font-family:sans-serif;"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket" len="1" style="color:rgb(85,85,85);">[ Edit<span class="mw-editsection-bracket" len="1" style="color:rgb(85,85,85);">] ==
