collective identity prompt question 3

1. in what way has britain been represented in the film London to Brighton?

overall Britain has been represented in quite a negative way through out the film, it highlights the very extreme circumstances that happens in gang culture. i think that Britain is not quite as bad as the movie shows and doesn't really reflect our modern day culture. of course these doings do still go on but it is very rare for such rash actions to be made. Although gang culture and crime is rife within the UK i don't think it is demonstrated fairly. although it is rare whenever this extreme gang culture happens it is immediately hyped up by the media such as newspapers and TV, there has been some stories about gangsters such as the Hells Angels gang where to join you first have to rape a women over 60 then seduce a girl under 16 then finally cut the head of a live chicken. with the news groups publishing these stories people are forced
to believe that these are common occurrences where in fact these crimes are becoming more rare.

can you identify a specific "collective group" which has been represented in the film?

there are lots of different types of collective groups in the film but i think the main one is 'Pimps' where women are rented and hired for sex.
