Saturday Night/Sunday Morning

On out last media lesson, on the 18th of June we watched a part of the film called 'Saturday Night/Sunday Morning'. We are starting this term with British Film. This film is a very realistic, traditional British film which rejects British values in this time. It has a very middle classed, stereotyped character called Arthur, this type of character is a type that (I think) all British citizens can relate to because of his stereotyped and realistic nature which we have viewed. The mise-en-scene of it as well is also realistic in which again we can relate to. The values that are portrayed in the film aren't representative in our modern day society. Other values of this film for example, family values again show British tradition in that era of time. The representation of male and females in this film are very old fashioned with the men going out to work and bringing in money, then the women staying at home cooking for the children and their husbands.
