textual analysis

In Kidulthood the boys are playing Fifa. This tells us that they maybe aspire to be professional footballers and with their background and environment this is unlikely to happen. This shows they are chasing a dream and lifestyle that wouldn't fit their stereotype. Fifa is the signifier and chasing a dream that isn't going to happen is the signified. This is the sign. Another point that i feel has a deeper meaning is in Kidulthood when the lad steals from the shop (the signifier). I believe this has a double meaning reflecting that he cheats in life (the signified). My interpretation of this is the sign.
