Kidulthood

Post by Mike »

This is a film about kids in the street man. It focuses on a two day period for a rough school in London Village and is meant to be a social commentary on how tough it is to be a kid in the urban ghetto.

Lizzie managed to predict this film very accurately. I don't claim such powers of perception but it was an interesting if slightly shocking film. All in all worth a watch but don't expect too much intellectual commentary. Don't get me wrong it isn't the speaking that is poor (watch the film and you will see what I mean) but the argument and thought behind plot is simply average.

All in all 3S and a must for anyone who wants to see Mickey from Doctor Who do some real acting!
:D

I quite enjoyed this film, although as Mike pointed out to me there was one really big flaw !! The film indicated that we should feel sorry for the youth of today becuase everyone just assumes they are a bunch of theiving scumbags, and then it only ever showed them bullying and theiving !!

A depressing view of youth and Britain, but interesting to watch.

3S
