Unfair Stigmatisation
MOST BRITISH FILMS WHICH ARE ON THE BIG SCREEN ARE VIOLENT, EMOTIONAL, AND REAL. EVEN COMEDIES HAVE A PARTICULAR EDGE THAT PEOPLE WANT TO SEE.
TAKE THE FILM SNATCH OR LOCK STOCK, GUY RICHIE FILMS THAT MAKE ONE SEE THE UNDERWORLD OF GREAT BRITAIN, THAT MOST OF US HAVE BEEN RAISED IN. MUCH LIKE THAT OF THE LATEST NOEL CLARKE FILMS WHICH PORTRAY THE URBAN BRITAIN THAT WE ALL KNOW.
YOU CANNOT FOOL THE PUBLIC. THEY LIVE IN THIS COUNTRY, HAVE VISITED, OR KNOW PEOPLE FROM GREAT BRITAIN. ROLLIN WITH THE NINES SHOWED THE HARSH REALITY OF BLACK BRITAIN AND MANY BRITISH FILMS ALSO SHOW THE SAME VIOLENCE, THE SAME ANGER, AND THE SAME EMOTION.
HOW HYPOCRITICLE OF THOSE WHOM DECIDED TO BAN ROLLIN WITH THE NINES WHICH WAS RATED 18, WHEN OTHER BRITISH FILMS WITH MORE VIOLENCE HAVE BEEN RATED AT 12. I LOVE WHAT THE LIKES OF GUY RICHIE AND NOEL CLARKE ARE DOING, BUT GIVE THESE DIRECTORS A BREAK.
THEY MAKE REALISTIC FILMS NOT CARTOONS. [ROCK N ROLLER, CASS, ADULTHOOD IN ALL GREAT CINEMAS.]
