This is England

• ‘This is England’ gives a representation of British films but the film is set in 1983 so it does not represent this generations British realism.

• The opening of ‘This is England’ does not show any main characters but it sets the scene, because all the footage is off the cities and the schools.

• ‘This is England’ shows a lot of violence because it shows a lot of teenagers fighting a lot and hurting each other.

• The way the first bit of ‘This is England’ is filmed shows that it is typically British filmed – concrete rain and misery (as true to life as possible).
