The scenes that show similarities are when he is told to say hello to Mrs Hector in Kidulthood, When Jenny in An Education asks her parents if it's ok for her to go out and when Alfie accepts to give a lift home to his roomates wife. All of these scenes show that the younger generation still respect their elders, even to this modern day. This goes against the stereotypical views of today and proves that no matter what environment you live in, it is important to respect your elders. Scenes that shows differences are in Kidulthood when they steal alcohol from the shop, Alfie sleeps with a married woman and in An Education when Jenny sleeps with a bloke alomost twice  her age. These all have a negative view on the Bristish values and show a different side to the culture of Britain.

One review i found critised the film of being false and that the youths of today are not like that at all and that the majority is made up. As well as this, they feel it stereotypes the black people of Britain as all wannabe gangsta's. They also feel that too much is happening throughout the film and this can confuse certain audience members. On the other hand, another review claims that they were hooked by the film and couldn't look away for one second! They also claim that for a cast of young adults, the film was beautfully acted with all the right emotions and the right time. As well as this, this person claims to live in London and believes this to be an accurate representaion of some school in his area. This shows that the production team had done sufficient research to make the film as realistic as possible. In conclusion, I personally favour the second review showing a positive reflection on the film. I believe that this is more accurate as the person actually lives in the area and this means he/she can relate to the film more. Moreover, I also feel that I agree with their comments more about how the film is gripping and action filled.
