Comparative Film Project Feedback

Stephen

"My Brother the Devil" (2012) and "The Inbetweeners Movie" (2011)

Ali

"Ill Manors" (2012) and "Anuvahood" (2011)

Mousa

"Shank" (2010) and "Angus, Thongs and Perfect Snogging" (2008)

Shank

  • Adam Deacon, Ashley Walters and Noel Clarke "Monopolising the genre"
  • Fast-paced, adrenaline-pumping, "Skins Culture"; Sub-genre of films
  • Peppered with stereotypes 
  • More televisual = Lifts representations out of cinema and adds a certain realism and similitude 
  • Advertising, such as the film posters, are strikingly similar, all showing the characters posed on the streets, confrontational, dark lighting and bold, gritty font and colour scheme
  • "Blackboard Jungle"; first youth culture film focusing on the negatives of teenagers, taking the perspective of adults disapproving youth
  • Criminalisation of the working-class
Type-casting e.g. Joe Cole, Jack O'Connell


1950's-60's

Representing "Youth" as deviant by the media was popular due to the split felt (Eventually known as the "Generational gap") between youth and adults

Through music, created their own sub-culture

The media's reaction was generally to vilify them

"Kidulthood" ultimately wasn't made to socially comment or challenge authority, unlike Punk
