opening.
Reggie- raster, culture music.

Memorable videos famous scenes/scenarios in England. Maggie Thatcher, Politics. Princess Diana Etc. Patriotic, celebrating good times. Relevant to name of film.

Opens with date July 1983- Last day of term.

Shaun, Young boy. Stereotypical room for someone of his age at this period of time. stereotypical house, street- 80's

Shaun- Rude, no respect. Bad vocabulary. However he doesn't back down to people despite having a lack of friends. underneath it all however it is clear hes upset about his life.

Meets a group of lads on the way home, who appear to be nice to him and make him laugh and feel welcomed. lacks other friends though of a similar age.

Mother- oblivious to how upset Shaun is. Very Casual. Poor Simple life

Sad acoustic Music contrasts opening.

Audience- Lighthearted. wide bullesye.
nice sweet main character

Racism? Gang Culture? Masculinity?
