The film 'ill manors' is a great addition to the ongoing trend of urban and socially real films. The narrative revolves around a young male named Aaron and his friends who are faced with the intense struggles that come with being from economically deprived and crime driven area. The movie is used to add weight to the concept of 'nature versus nurture' and allows the audience to have more incentive thoughts about such matters. However, for example the representation for women as prostitutes and the young girls as being native and mindless human being who are most likely turn out like the older women in the film. Although this contributes to the audience having a more clear understanding of the the character's decisions and overall morals. Nevertheless, this directly reinforced the typically negative stereotypes of under-class women and correlates with the Tessa Perkins theory.
In fairness, the women in the film were shown in a positive light towards the idea of innate motherhood and kinship but this was not breaking major conventions. Although this was great to see, similar to other parts of the film, this does not break many conventions and our previous thoughts and perceptions are intact. I think this is were the aim of the movie is missed, the movie only serves to reinforce stereotypes placed on the youths of today.
