Harry Brown (2009)

Director: Daniel Barber

How does Harry Brown represent young people?

  • Hoodies are iconic for gangs
  • Knives and guns
  • Drugs
  • Location
  • Sexual Confrontation
  • Gender representation
  • Gender Stereotypes
  • Sexism
  • Territory
  • Dialogue  (colloquial)
  • Revenge
  • Harry Brown vs Gangs vs Police (binary)
  • Social Class
  • Dark Lighting
Hoodies strike fear in British Cinema (Guardian 2009)

  • Unemotional
  • Impact of feelings
  • Reflect them being monsters
  • Challenge equilibrium
  • Sense of realism
  • Non-Fiction is scarier :O 
  • Capitalism
  • Hegemony - Ruling of higher class
  •  Moral panic!!
