Gone too far

I thought that the film was interesting because it uses stereotypes to portray different races and areas.  Gone too far shows different races like Chinese and Indians all living together in Peckham.

There is one scene where Armani tells the Chinese woman to leave her alone otherwise she will call immigration and all the Chinese people get scared, this represents the stereotypical Chinese identity to other people living in the UK, that they are all immigrants.

How is identity mediated: how is it shown?

How are black people shown/ represented in this film

Ø  Stereotypes were not negative: not about crime

Ø  Stereotypes are quite accurate – film written & directed by people born to Nigerian parents- who can relate to the characters & issues to some extent.

Ø  Yemi’s mum portrays the character of a strict African mother

Ø  There is the scene where razor apologises to an old woman, we see him coming up to the woman and because of stereotypes no one would guess that he was going to apologise.
