Ill manors review

Ill manors is directed By Plan B- Ben drew. This isn't the only project that Ben drew has directed, he's also made a short movie which included Adam Deacon. Also he's directed a music video. Ill manors was the first major thing that he has directed and it was a massive success and the movie had such a low budget and still produced a masterclass. In my opinion the director was fantastic and produced a masterclass with sun low budget and we can say that this movie was successful because it made a profit and this was down to Ben drew as he done the right things to produce Ill manors.To sum up Ben Drew we can say he produced a film which will interest everybody in England as its about life in the raw areas which people would be interested in. 
 
The actors in the movie aren't really well known and we haven't see them before as Plan B  had a very low budget so he had to get less know actors. The only actor i recognized was Aaron (Riz Ahmed) the others I didn't know off. The other actors where: Ed skrein, Natalie press, Nick Sagar and many more. Also we saw a cameo from Plan b in the Taxi. I think getting these unknown actors is fantastic for the narrative as majority  of the actors are brought up in the rough environment and the actors used suited the plot very well and it was great from plan b to do this as these actors weren't just in the movie for financial reasons- which made the movie better. Most of these actors have been in smaller movies but we haven't seen them in massive budget movies but they have appeared in movies. 

Ill Manors is about Drugs, violence and prostitution. There are 4 characters who consume drugs and sell drugs in London streets. It's also about abuse of Women and how the females can be a source of money as we see ED walking around the streets and trying to sell a women to the shop owners as ED needed the money. Also it shows what prostitution can do- Women are more vulnerable as we see the females in Ill manors being thrown around and doing anything for money and drugs. Also all Drug dealers and Prostitutes are brought up in raw estates and families with one mother and broken families or in care homes, and this means they haven't been taught values of life and left to do anything at the earliest age. 

The movie genre is crime thriller and the mood off the movie is scary and darkened and this is how some parts of London are. Also the mood of the movie is very depressing and whilst watching the movie we don't expect what going to happen next as most things in the movie where unbelievable. In this movie there are very scary situations where the audience can't watch at some times as the situations is very strange- and there is always high amounts of tensions. Also suspense being created throughout the movie. This movie is an 18, but many people below the age rating watch this movie as 15-17 years can relate to many characters in this movie. 16-30 is the target audience for this movie. In this movie there are many characters that are below 18 years old. The most important situation in this movie was done by a 15-16 year old, when he killed Kirby. 

I think the soundtracks for this movie related to the plot. As all the songs where about the movie. Most of the songs where by Plan B and he was raping about the narrative, which is almost like a voice over. The genre of the music is grime as grime relates to the movie. 

This movie is aimed at 16-30 years  as most of the characters  from ill manors age is between these ages. The physchographics for this movie are reformers because This is due tot he fact they are looking to change not only themselves but the society around them.

  1. WWW: You've included some key information about the plot and characters which is important for a review. You also clearly have a passion and knowledge of the film.
    EBI: Written English is a real problem - you need to be able to write grammatically correct English if you want to reach the higher grades at A Level. This is a vital area for you to work on this year if you want to continue through to Year 13. Also, you could discuss the target audience in a lot more detail too - it's arguably the most interesting aspect of the film.
