Themes and issues represented in London to Brighton

THEMES AND ISSUES IN LONDON TO BRIGHTON:

Crimes:

Child prostitution/Prostitution

Gangsters

Violence against women’s

Revenge

Street rules

Betrayal

Most of the issues that are listed above are mainly negative, for instance revenge, is represented through Stewart, who wants to willing to kill someone in order to pay the price for the death of his father so that he could maintain his reputation (this could also be linked to the theme ‘street rules’), which is a negative thing because revenge could only spawn new hate and revenge.

In this film, it has also reflected on how negatively women’s are represented through the film, for example the idea of our main character, Kelly, who is a prostitute demonstrates that women’s in London is viewed as sex objects. Women’s are also represented negatively in this film because there are events of violence against women’s, for example Kelly was brutally beaten by some male gangsters (The bruise on her face is evidence), this stereo types women’s as being weak and vulnerable.
