Ill Manors film review
Ill manors
is a film which is set in London and is sort of like a documentary of what is
going on in the streets of London but also like a thriller. Ill manors include
many storylines, many to do with drugs and violence. There is sort of a main
character in Aaron who is involved in more than one storyline and you see at
the end of the movie that he is trying to change himself and this is what the
movie is trying to tell us. Many people die within the film such as a so called
gangster who has recently been released from prison who needs to get his phone
back and lost it. In trying to track down his phone he is involved in many
problems along the way and we get to see the real character of this gangster.
When trying to get hold of his phone again he gets caught up in a situation
with another gangster who he needs to give his gun back to, as a result of
trying to do so he dies as there is a fire in the pub and this is where the gun
is and by saving a child the man dies by falling off the pub top floor window. There
are many other storylines such as a young black boy joining a gang and beating
his own friend to do so and once joining this gang he also gets into his own
problems and ends up killing an innocent girl, due to this him and his gang
leader die. Also in the movie this mother who feels she has no choice but to
abandon her child is involved with one of the protagonists Aaron as Aaron is
the one who looks after the child, in the end she gets her child back and we
see Aaron trying to move on with his life and you see the taxi driver who is
driving Aaron is Plan B, which is trying to show us that there is a new life
out there and Plan B is the one that is doing that as it has happened to him. Plan
B also known as Ben Drew is the one who produced the film and is also like a
narrator within the movie by rapping what is happening, also with music
Labrinth is featured in some of the songs.
I myself
enjoyed the movie personally, because I can relate to this type of genre in a
way such as gangs and crime as I like this sort of stuff. I believe Ill Manors
is very similar to programmes such as Top Boy as it is on the streets and shows
you violence and drugs but also a storyline which hooks you in. I also believe
you can learn something from the movie as in trying not to end up like the
people within the movie and how important your life can be to you, Aaron is the
prime example of this as you can see within the story he is trying to do some
good even though at the same time he also does bad. The good we see Aaron doing
is trying to help out the girl with money problems instead of her being used as
a sex toy and also trying to help the mother out with her neglected baby. We
then also see at the end where he decides to reject the chances of joining up
with a gangster and instead moving on with his life and trying for change which
I believe is one of the main messages within the story. I also like the way how
Plan B produced the movie as he is an artist that I listen to which made me
like the film more. On the website IMDb the film got rated 7/10 which I believe
is a realistic rating, so as you can see from this rating which is also rated by
many critics you can see that this movie is a good movie to watch. Also by
having characters within the storyline who aren’t famous may also have helped
make the movie a good watch due to the fact that if it was a big name movie
star we would have not believed the storyline and thought that’s not really
true as this actor is rich and popular, so by having actors who aren’t big and
who are up and becoming benefited the storyline as we could build a
relationship with the actors and believe the pain they are going through.
