Evaluation Question 2

Representation: Is the action of speaking or acting on behalf or the state of being so represented.

The social group that my film is focusing on is urban teenagers. However, my main character, and the concept of my movie does not follow the urban, gritty teenager stereotype. We have our main character who was born and raised in a ghetto area and has been in many difficult situations throughout his life. A person with his mindset, in movies anyway, would be a corrupted drug addict who intends to severely injure or even kill his enemies or that who stands in his way. Our main character however, is a calm white male who has chosen to go down the path of boxing. He intends to make his way up the ladder and become the greatest due to all of the incidents he has been in the past. He takes his anger out in the ring rather than outside.

My brother the devil is similar to our movie to a certain point. The film then starts to change a little and it start's to steer away from stereotypes a little. Like the older brother in the film, he finds what he truly desires the most and sticks with it. The same with our character, whereas our character loves a sport and so he sticks with it and leaves what his behind him in the past. The older brother in My Brother The Devil also leaves his past behind and basically starts a new life. His younger brother on the other hand, carries on the stereotype of a teenager movie to a certain point as well. This is because he follows his older brothers footsteps as he was before because he realises that his brother has left his old ways.
