How Is Britishness Represented in East Is East, This Is England and Enoch Powell’s Rivers of Blood Speech?

It symbolizes the dead, terrible and scary place it had turned into. He gives us the feeling that all hope for humanity was lost and that it’ll just be a matter of time before the zombies would completely take over the country leaving no humans alive. You could not trust anyone anymore, this was the case of the protagonist. Whilst trying to survive, he came across different people. First of all, he met a guy, who had lost his only son to the zombies, at gun point. Both of them after teaming up met two sisters who ended up conning them into taking all their weapons and means of transportation. This ended up happening twice but the second time the girls were generous enough to take them along and not leave them stranded. These girls were on their way to an amusement park which they thought was zombie free. During their journey, the protagonist started having feelings for one of the girls who conned him into taking his means of survival twice. She gave him reasons for him to hate but it did just the opposite which she found very attractive but didn’t make a move until he saved her from a zombie in the final scenes.

Iconic symbolism is used through out the movie. As the movie begins, “The Circle of Life” plays with the setting sun. The setting sun is an interpretation that life a never ending

This was given to them in the 1948 British Nationality Act and it was an important feature of Britain, as it showed the commonwealth was a multiracial and multicultural institution

In Queen Elizabeth’s speech to the troops of Tilbury, she separates her speech into three parts: one for each of her goals. The first part of her speech establishes trust and loyalty with her troops. The second develops the image of Queen Elizabeth as a strong queen, a leader worth fighting for even though the odds are not in their favor. The final part of her speech promises not only monetary rewards, but most of all she promises the honor and glory that will be brought on by victory. The overall purpose of her speech is to replace the doubts of her soldiers with confidence and courage.

This can be inferred by the color that the author of the painting uses. For example, the constant use of colors such as red, red and yellow on top of the palms and cars represent the sky when at dusk people is coming tired from their job. At the same time, the fact that all the cars are close to each other reveals the stress caused by many hours in traffic. The representation of the symbols related to the Olympic games, shows that in order to drop all the stress created by the people's job and their struggle in the traffic people get home and most likely to watch t.v. and forget everything else. Similarly, the hearts that can be seen over the cars on the freeway represents the love of one people for their family, house, city and car. This can be said because the heart figure has been related to love since long-passed time, and in Los Angles every body loves their city and family as well as their cars. The blue paint used behind the cars are a comparison to the darkness that most of the time follows people closely in their way home. All this symbols have been inlaid in this piece in order to tell the story of ever day in Los

It also makes the audience to be curious about the relationship between the two characters and influence them to watch the film as she is holding a robot’s head, which indicates that she is fighting against them. Grabbing the audience’s attention the most and suggesting that they are the main characters, they are standing in the middle of the poster. What appears to be the Golden Gate Bridge is in the background, giving the audience a clear evidence that the film takes place in the United States. There is also a flag of the United States fading away. As the United State is often associated with power and stability, lost power and stability of the world is suggested in the plot. This is also why lots of natural disaster movies - such as The Day After Tomorrow, Cloverfield, and Godzilla - portray damaged Statue of Liberty to symbolise the

The movie poster emphasizes the main characters in the film Tris and Four (the female and male protagonist respectively). They seem to be watching the whole place in one of the highest building in the setting. We can also see that the Tris stands in Four’s back while Four is crouching facing the other way. We can also see crows flying not very far away from them, a Ferris wheel, and cables for zip lining. The poster also has a quote “what makes you different makes you dangerous”. The position of the characters in the poster shows that they are watching each other’s back preparing for something. The male was carrying a weapon so it means that they are being cautious and ready to fight whenever an opponent occurs. They are standing in the highest building in the setting which had an importance in the story because it is one of the fears of the male protagonist, while the crows are one of the fears of the female protagonist. The background seems to be gloomy, like there is a war that happening on that place. The Ferris wheel is the place where the leading characters have a moment with each other and

Browne has created a dominant unbalance of the codes, line and colour to produce an image that tells its own story, adding flow and continuity to this multiplex narrative (Serafini, 2005). At its core, this image has been produced to covey an aspect of Charles’ feelings and psyche, while allowing Browne to reveal ideas surrounding the global issues of gender bias; prejudice and the impact socioecomic status can have on our lives. The salient feature of the pole represents a divide between Charles and Smudge both in their socio-economic status but in their views about the world. It is evident within this image and prior and latter pages within voices in the park that Browne has drawn inspiration from various artistic styles. The colours within

Tracking the culture of a society has always proven to be a challenge. Historians and archeologists may study artifacts, books, poetry, among other cultural legacies in an attempt to understand the beliefs and lives of previous generations. However, this has a certain level of inaccuracy towards the beliefs of the average person in that society. To speak to that point, I wish to introduce Gilbert and Sullivan. Gilbert and Sullivan were a pair of opera writers operating in England between 1871 and 1896. Their operas were so immensely popular with the British public that the world’s first building lit entire by lightbulbs, the Savoy Theater, was built for the purpose of housing the premiers of their operas. It is through this immense popularity with the common people that we can begin to understand the consciousness of the people of London at the time. In this case, Gilbert and Sullivan’s opera, Utopia Limited, can provide us with a clear picture of the Victorian view on a woman’s place in sports, and information on their beliefs on sports in general.

England began with the Treaty of Dunkirk as a way to start a Western Alliance that would be able to hold off the USA, the USSR or German would it ever arise. However, trying to start this alliance with France may have been counterproductive for the English State. While these two states at the time were the most powerful within Western Europe, the history between them is still a constant in the lives of both the French and the British. This alliance was forthcoming with the purpose of expanding the idea to other states within Western Europe. The main problem with the Treaty specifically with France is that Britain was afraid they would make the USSR feel like purposely trying to defend against them, this, therefore, increasing security over into the USSR domain. With Britain working on the creation of Western International Security would then lead to the USSR feel like they needed to increase because of this upcoming alliance, therefore initiating the security dilemma . While the state is the best level of analysis for the Treaty of Dunkirk, as the state relations do originate at the state the individual analysis has a few key points as well. As Britain when coordinating how to approach the Treaty of Dunkirk has essentially one main person coordinating it’s hard to specifically say that at the individual level, the most compelling argument could be made.

Critically examine the ways through which the Black British diaspora has been imagined and represented by the theorisations of Paul Gilroy and others. Why does Gilroy (and others) suggest his notion of ‘The Black Atlantic’ as useful for re-imagining black identities?

The notion of what it means to be British is constantly changing, and rapidly. What is means to be British citizen is drastically different than it was twenty years ago, and it will be different 20 years from now. There is no consistent definition of what is a constantly evolving system, it is extremely challenging to characterize the profile of a common Briton.

The film “This is England” is a movie about twelve year old Shaun growing up and trying to fit in with the local skinheads. The film takes place during 1983 in a small town in England. The eighties in England was a time under Thatcher’s government, and society was deeply affected by how Thatcher had governed the country. The Thatcher years had caused a lot of problems for the working class like unemployment, poverty, racism, and people were angered by the unnecessary Falkland war. All of these factors that Thatcher’s government induced is well depicted in the movie, but is the film’s portrayal of life under Thatcher’s government an accurate portrayal?

5. If a new spirit is to be infused into this old country, there is one thorny and contentious reform which must be tackled, and that is the humanization and galvanization of the B.B.C. Timidity here will bespeak canker and atrophy of the soul. The heart of Britain may be sound and of strong beat, for instance, but the British lion's roar at present is like that of Bottom in Shakespeare's A Midsummer Night's Dream — as gentle as any sucking dove. A virile new Britain cannot continue indefinitely to be traduced in the eyes or rather ears, of the world by the effete languors of Langham Place, brazenly masquerading as ‘standard English’. When the Voice of Britain is heard at nine o'clock, better far and infinitely less ludicrous to hear aitches honestly dropped than the present priggish, inflated, inhibited, school-ma'amish arch braying of blameless bashful mewing maidens!

The idea of "Britishness" has long been associated with long-established traditions, literary tradition, and a sense of national unity. In recent decades, or even centuries, however, there has been some devolution of this central culture that could be termed "Britishness." Indeed, the idea has even taken hold of politics, where a number of politicians have concerned themselves with creating a sense of unified Britishness. For many, however, this is an artificial paradigm, which is destined to drive British citizens apart rather than bringing them together. In evaluating the statement that a unified British identity resides in a sense of shared values could therefore be somewhat problematic in terms of the values themselves, the current trend towards individualism, and the multicultural nature of residents in the United Kingdom.
