1) Is Connor a father figure?
We think that Connor at first was a good father figure to the children, because he takes them fishing and gives the money. A father is someone that helps the child in need and Connor does this when he bandages up Mia's foot. However there are certain things that make him look like pedophile when he spanks Mia's bottom when she is naughty, also tried to put £5 down her top. Of course he is not a father figure when he has sex with her.
2) Do your decisions from the article change after seeing the film?
From the review, we are encouraged to believe that she is living the life of a stereotypical British teenager with a poor family background. The reviewer mentions how she has been excluded from school and spends her days drinking cheap booze around the estate, all of these things suggest that she has a poor family relationship and poor guidance.
This is reflected in her behaviour as she comes across as quick witted and unpleasant, this maybe be because she keeps her anger in whilst at home, and doesn't speak her mind, but whilst free on the streets she releases her issues, and takes it out on her friends, this may be why she has few friends.
3) What does the film say about the state of todays family?
It implies that family is not as important as it once was and people become very independent, it shows how people have lost their morale values, like beign married before you become pregnant.
It also shows that there are lots of young mothers, that are unable teach their childrens rights and wrongs.
How it only shows it from one specific family, unlike Kidulthood, and Alfie where you see a number of different families.
How ever Connor at first seems to be more of a farther figure than Mia's mum, this is shown when he tries to take them out for a family outing to a lake, which Mia and her sister have never been to, they seem fascinated by the scenary and the fish.
And again when Connor shows an interest in Mias joy of dancing, where as her mum says "Wat the fuck are you doing".
