Gone Too Far

An energetic, witty drama set in the heart of  South London, takes after the story of Peckham raised youngster Yemi (played by Malachi Kirby) and his recently arriving sibling from Nigeria, Ikudayis. Strains emerge when social, social standards and belief systems conflict between the two as they are compelled to spend the day together looking for Okra. Yemi must defy neighborhood spooks; his own African legacy and attempting to charm the young lady he had always wanted. Essayist Bola Agbaje makes a wonderful showing with regards to of displaying a current Shakespearean comic drama as a film with articulately three dimensional characters. Joined with humorously quick paced and breaking exchange abandoning you with part sides; the author's aspiration and enthusiasm for her way of life is clear through her vision and knowledge into the social conflict amongst transients and life molded by London city. Agbaje presents a much needed refresher in the frequently firm universe of British social authenticity movies, by blending social editorial with that of energetic drama in regards to race and ethnicity that can be relatable to anybody. In spite of the fact that the film is about the life of Africans living in South London, and draws upon this social character to create amusingness, it will leave any moviegoer wiping tears of chuckling from their cheeks.

Debate

Ethnic minorities should have the right to represent anyone, as it is a subjective representation view, and instead should create to express and not impress. It is also however objectively true that movies should be made regardless of the subjective opinions that disagree with it, as it is undoubtedly made for monetary reasons more than for the ethos of film making, as with mainstream Hollywood nowadays, example, Fast and Furious franchises. In other examples however, there is the slightly deragotry representation of certain groups such as the Muslim community, who is subject to discrimination and prejudicism, predominantly set catalyst by events such as the Twin Tower 9/11 bombings. Films such as American Sniper, United-93, create a sense of moral panic as people have been "fed" this kind of information although they may not necessarily be true. The realism aspect to it is what is the most affecting, hence the audience can relate more to it. Example, a south-east Londoner may feel more attached and have a significant impact simply because they're able to relate more, just as the relation between an American audience and American Sniper, United-93, audiences that feel that they're in the category.
