Evaluation Question 2

1 comment:

  1. Well organised and reflecting a mainly proficient understanding of representation. To strengthen:

    1) First slide Gender: You go head first into the plot of the film instead of focusing on gender. It is not clear who Harry and Holly are? Instead focus on the situation of white British males who are alienated and are in crisis and turn on each other. This represents young British working class males as disenfranchised in the sense that the conventional attitudes of friendship is driven by betrayal rather than compassion. You could here reference the London riots of 2011 where control of mainly young males got out of hand. Consider if this is a reflection of British youth paying the price of austerity with little hope of employment. The notions of gang law is also at play in your film.

    Ethnicity is also an area which you can include in question 1 because your film focuses on the anti social behaviour of white British youth.

    2) "A Clockwork Orange" the gang are older teenagers not adults. Could you revise. An example of the infiltration of negative elements into a gang is "This is England" where the multicultural skinhead gang is infiltrated by the National Front.
