a few issues with this film
This film has some great acting and has been shot in a really good way but what ruins it for me is this :
The over exaggerated story line and stereotypes.
The fact that everyone seems to be pedophiles.
The fact that i don't have any sympathy for any of the characters.
Even though i cant develop any sympathy for the characters, the film tries far too much to make you feel sorry for them.
The unbelievable use of guns and violence.
The film even tries to give justification to there actions.
Its not that I'm being arrogant or ignoring the problems. yes the UK does have a gang problem, yes it has a drug problem, yes it has a prostitution problem, but this film makes it look like London like its a ghetto from South Africa.
For a start shootings aren't an everyday thing that people just expect, there not even a monthly things in the UK. Since when have chavs been smarter enough to kidnap people or any of the others things they do in this film ?, the ones ive seen growing up in my street can barely string a sentence together ! what im trying to say is, crime is a lot more organized, its not a bunch of teens in hods running around shooting everyone and selling babies.
SOME Council estates can be a bit rough and not the most welcoming places at night, but they are certainly not no go areas all day every day. Chavs aren't just on the estates either its a social thing, its people who are too lazy to get off there arses and doing something with there lives,who believe for some reason they are hard done by ! They can be from the estates or just sponge of there rich parents.
The kinda of people being shown in this film deserve no sympathy and there isn't any justification for anything they do.
In the UK we have every means possible to better our self's and to do well in life :
free education up to university level for all ages.
free health care
free housing
A welfare system, that pays for people to have children and pays more then some jobs.
countless organizations that help people from poorer backgrounds.
There is very few if any countries that give there people so many ways to better them self's. Yes theses services may not be perfect. Speaking as someone who came from nothing, who grew up on the estates and worked my way to where i am, i have a good job, my own house and amazing friends.
I'm not saying it was easy to get here but i know that there is support there, if you choose not to use it and to become some chavy thug, why should we sympathize with them ? i say we lock them up and make them work !these people are bringing down society.
Why is everybody a pedo ? someone answer me ?
i know there are problems in this country, but there way to over exaggerated ! and because of my lack empathy for the type of people the actors are playing and because the film makes pretty unbelievable it meant that i had a hard time getting in to the film.
The one story line i did like was the prostitute and her baby, simply because it was believable
The film wasn't awful and there was someone funny moments (not sure they were meant to be) the acting was good, it lacks soo much, Ben should just stick to music.
