London to Brighton

1. The movie London to Brighton portrays a very dark Britain. The film shows prostitution and gang culture to be present in London. Although we here news of killings of prostitutes in various cities it is hard to believe that this depiction of Britain, and London in particular, is a fair representation of Britain as a whole. This may happen but on a very small scale and only a small minority will be involved and know about it.

2. A collective group that is clearly identified in this film would be the "London Underground Crime Scene" as crime is rife in this film. Also prostitution is shown in a very surreal and harsh light. The prostitute Kelly goes throughout the majority of the film with a battered face. This highlights the brutality of life on the streets for London prostitutes.

3. The theory states that society is driven by a common set of beliefs and moral attitudes. In London to Brighton It could be said that drug taking and drinking is something which is something that is socially acceptable within this group of people. The little girl is consistently offered cigarettes from the elder people even though she is of a very young age. Also, when they are in Brighton in the house the group are freely handing around drugs.
