Ill manor

Ill Manors (stylised as ill Manors) is a British crime drama film written and directed by Ben Drew, also known as Plan B. The film, which is set in Forest Gate, London, revolves around the lives of eight main characters, and features six original songs by Plan B, which act as a narration for the film. Ill Manors is a multi-character story, set over the course of seven days, a scene where everyone is fighting for respect. The film focuses on eight core characters, and their circles of violence, as they struggle to survive on the streets. Each story weaves into one another, painting an ultra-realistic gritty picture of the world which is on the brink of self-destruction. Each story is also represented by a different rap song.
- Gritty lifestyle of working class people in London - verisimilitude (realism) - Uses Gratification
- Shows what the teenagers get up which is selling drugs, violence and parties while at the same time showing the older lifestyle aswell - the youths don't get the only bad representation - Moral panic for middle class
- youths seen to just be on the streets - link to plan b's lecture - no opportunities for them - London riots
- It shows how working class can be perceived as such a negative thing - living in estates, parents are careless about their children
- While in the 80's working class was something to be proud of as people were working hard to get good amounts of money - less working class jobs - working class considered now as people with benefits etc - hegemony
- It's subverting also this way of 'black behaviour, appearance and dialogue' - due to different races
- Review by Marlene Freema - explained the films realism was perfect (verisimilitude) - as the film is two shaded instead of one. (Plan b - writer - experienced)
- The film does show that these people that are negatively stereotyped do show love - when baby is left with the guy - growing up in estates - parents struggling
- Humor - entertain - Uses gratification - common tradition
- Different from most urban drama's due to the complexity and detail the film goes through as it's telling a story not stereotyping anyone from the working class.

The newspapers even through their sales have declined through the years, they still have a massive impact on the the views of the UK residents. The riots were not all passed by negative stereotypes as for some left wing newspapers. This was the perfect way to show the audicnce the damage David Cameron has caused. The right wing newspaper the daily mail has always taken the side of the goverment, and dispises the actions in which the young people of London has taken. In one of their article 'it was just like a supermarket sweep', shows the seriousness of the theft in which the youths have caused. Also the imagines contrast to this negative representation of young black people as it shows white officers with black youths in every picture, which gives the negative representation and that white people have the huge authority.
