Themes that are represented in BSR films

The key theme that is in the film called This is England is clearly Racism.

It is denoted when a little boy who has a skin head about 11years old walks into a shop and asks for a drink but is rejected by the shop owner or worker and repeatedly shoats out racist words towards him.The shop owner is infurioated by this andproceeds to chase him until a bunch of older skin heads enter the shop and threaten him and steals items within the shop and they are passive aggresive at first but become more hostile as the scene plays out.

The verbable language used in this is very strong and is very sensitive to asian people and is considered very offensive and this is a clear representation of how London was like in the 1990's - 2000's when racism was still a thing,Some of the men that entered the shop even had weapons such as a machete and threatened to attack the man if he did anything to stop them all just because of his skin colour and social background.This may of never happened if the guy was white,it also may of never of happened if the owner gave the boy the beer,but this is very unlikely because the men that ransacked the shop all were conviently there with some weapons so it was more of a set up and that particular shop was more of a target because of his skin colour and they may of considered him as an easy target because they may think hes weaker due to his different skin colour.

The way I may incorperate this into my film is by the use of psyical threats and maybe hate language towards a particular race or social background and maybe even having people that are different races have lower social class and roles to one race to show superiority and inferiourity within the film and show how people can really be like towards each other.

The key theme that is in the film called Nil by mouth is Domestic abuse.

It is denoted when a man and a women both are parents and they are in a room talking and it quickly escalates into an argument when the man begins to get very angry and aggressive towards the woman and she retalliates back in response and then he punches her to the ground and begins to kick her repeatedly while shes on the floor in pain and suffering and crying.

The language and communication throughout this is very aggresiive and shows a clear anger or hatred towards bothsides and the man clearly has the domincance due to his overwhleming stress and vocal power while the women struggles to voive her emotions not olny that but the mans psyhical appearance is a lot more meanacing than the womens and hes a lot bigger and has more power to cause more damage,and this is evivdently shown when he knocks her to the ground and the audience cant see her on the ground and only the man causing an enigma code and making the audience ask questions on how hurt is she what did he do,and neither do we see his kicks at her either making the person watching create it in the mind mkaing it more scary while instead of showing it.

The way I would incorporate this into my own BRS film would be if a a couple were having relationship issues due to the male having stress from drug deals and he proceeds to punch and abuse his partner to release pain and anger.

The key theme that is in the film called Adulthood is Violence.

It is denoted when person A enters a house which seems be owned by gangs and they are verbally aggressive towards him and called him mild racist names and one has a knife in his hand, but later on person A pulls out a gun an threatens them and another person enters the scene, then person A kicks down the other person with a gun and injures him and it is unknown how badly but it looked very painful.

The way the theme was presented was very intense because at the start of the clip it was fairly calm but as it goes on you can see and fell the tension between the men increase and it gets to the point where the hatred is full focus and the audience doesn't pay attention to anything else due to the hand gestures and facial expressions of the characters also breathe in new life to the performance as it makes the scene much more believable and real for the audience to watch, the props such as the gun that was used also adds a clear vivid view as it shows that one simple object as the gun can ultimately end your life and when the gun is pointed at the man on the table his entire power dominance has vanished because he's scared to death because of the gun pointed at him.

The way I would incorporate thins into my film would be the use of menacing weapons such as knifes and even bats or heavy duty tools to make a more gritty and diverse threat instead of the typical gun that most films would use now.

The key theme that is in this film called Looking for eric is suicidal mental illness.

It is denoted when Eric who is just and average man who has issues with his family is speaking to Cantona,so right away the audience can tell something is weird as someone who is famous is just chilling and hanging around a guy who is barely known. The film is also based around Eric having mental issues and wanting to commit suicide, representing him having difficulties in his personal life


The way the theme was presented was fairly sad and depressing as Eric is literally just talking to a man that isn't there and he has a bond with him and, no-one around him understands him as its all created in his mind, and his idol Cantona is only hope and saviour as if his mind hadn't have played tricks on Eric then he would of most likely would have committed suicide, this can show how lonely depressed he is and his mind literally goes so far to an extent to create a fictional character, which makes this film touching to some who get emotional easily, You can tell he's suffering too by the use of his language and intellect as he appears not to be educated as good as others and his facial expressions shows his sadness only until Cantona appears making him happy and cheerful.

The way I would incorporate this into my film is by a person who has a severely bad and miserable life who could have a disability that affects them to an extent where they feel like they can not cope with it.

The key theme in the film called Fish tank is parenthood.

It is denoted when The girl that is the main protagonist in this film is arguing with literally everyone and appears to have anger issues or a mental trauma and she particularly argues with her mother who literally doesn't care about her one bit and is considered a bad parent so the girl has suffered with a bad childhood and parenthood.

The way the theme was presented was very intense and dramatic between the characters as the girl argues constantly between everyone and this can all lead and point to her mother being bad, for instance she may have treated the girl very bad when she was young and her bad habits may have been influenced on her and now she's carrying those habits to the people she hangs around such as the neighbours or the girls that were dancing, The area where she lives can also influence her behaviour as it seems very run down and is in need of repair and regeneration which and signify a sense of depression between them and the mother may want a better life but she cant provide it therefor leading to her having mood swings and sadness.

The way I would incorporate this into my film is by using dramatic and intense fights and sequences that would make the audience feel intense, which would make the film much more alive and affective.
