Made in Britian by Alan Clarke is a text that shows truth. This is an example of a British Gritty film which features violence and racism..its like an older version of This is England howveer it focuses on the main protagonist Trevor a 16 year old male. Unlike This is England Made in Britiain shows no female representation, it is purely fixated on Trevor and his life as a skinhead. It also shows the society of the time which can be seen as very racists as even the police and social workers were against blacks and indians. There is absoloutly no control over Trevor which is the same in This is England as Shaun is also uncontrolable...it is however more realistic in Made in Britian as Trevor is 16...and rebelling against a cause which he is aware off..he is constantly against authority figures!!! below is a list of some of the factors which are the same in this is england
-Skinehads-neo-nazism
-delinquency
-swearing..smoking..drug abuse
-violence
-racism
-male patriarchy
-black charaters who are blamed
-no adult control over children
-subculture of skinheads---bald...dr.martens...
-unemployment
-proud to be British
Mde in Britian relates more to the society and how they reacted to the skinheads...were as This is England focused on individuals and how they were affected by racism.
Made in Britian shows how much society has changed since 1982 wen the film was realsed...although this is england was set in the 1980's....made in britain shows realism. the grittyness of Britain is shown throughout the film..it also only portrays working class peoples lives. as they were the ones involved in crime violence and racism!!!
