Selecting Scenes.

1. Choose a key scene from Alfie and An education and kidulthood that...
- shows similarities in British values
- shows differences in British values

 The scenes that show similarities=
Alfie- He is introduced as a man on his own without any family therefore wasn't steered in the direction of Education.
An Education- When Jenny's dad suggests she should marry David therefore doesn't need an education by going to Oxford university.
Kidulthood- The scene that shows one character making a weapon and also the scene where some characters (girls) abuse another girl in the film.

The scenes we have chosen from Alfie, An education and Kidulthood to show similarities in British values is the carelessness of education in each film. For example in the film Alfie, the characters do not care about the education they have as it isn't vital to have an education to do well as we can we see with Alfie's character. Similarly, in the Education,  we see how the character, David,  he doesn't have an education however he is seen as a respectful male as he has a lot of money from his career that now, would not be acceptable. In the film kidulthood we immediately notice that the aspect of getting an education isn't their number one priority. We know this because their behaviour is rebellious and disrespectful.

All the films have a different reaction to all the pregnancies and looking after children. A difference in Alfie from the other films is when Lily becomes pregnant with Alfie's child she has an illegal abortion which people would frown upon in Britain in the 60's.
In An education, David has a child with his wife which in the film you don't see him raising and providing for his child which shows Britishness as stereotypically women are usually looking after the children.
In Kidulthood one of the girls becomes pregnant and reacts to the situation in a negative and careless way as she carries on drinking. This shows Britishnesss in present time as it shows teenagers are reckless.
