Quotes/reviews for my film

"This chronicle of brutish violence doesn't exactly glamorise criminality – it's too seedy and depressing for that – but it does appear to regard it as worthy of respect, which is possibly worse." Independent.
I think that this is the best quote that best describes my text as it is hard hitting and no time for depressing moments its about respect. I can use this quote in my essay as states what my text represents.

"Guarding Essex club doors in the 1980s, it's a natural progression to distributing the drugs that the clubbers hoover up. And once embroiled in that game, it's only a matter of time before rival gangs and in-house treachery rear up, leading to the infamous 1998 'Rettendon Range Rover murders' shotgun slaying." Channel 4.
Ithink that this quote describes my movie as a time line which is good as it shows the film in stages.

Movie Review by The Independent

You may recall the shotgun murder of three men in a Land Rover down Essex way that made headlines in the mid-Nineties. It was turned into a very feeble movie called Essex Boys, with Sean Bean, and damn me if they haven't gone and made another one about the very same incident.
Julian Gilbey's film starts out as A Yob's Tale in which a Seventies football hooligan (Ricci Harnett) graduates to an Eighties nightclub bouncer and thence to a Nineties drug baron in the Essex badlands. This chronicle of brutish violence doesn't exactly glamourise criminality – it's too seedy and depressing for that – but it does appear to regard it as worthy of respect, which is possibly worse.
The only point of interest is to see how far Gilbey will go in his tribute to GoodFellas. The three-decade span, the narrative voiceover, the gloating scenes of torture, the freeze-frames all tell us: too far.

Movie Reviews by Time Out London

A repugnant gangland romp in which a group of Neanderthalic, perpetually gurning ruffians get tooled up with axe handles, baseball bats and Stanley knives then knock ten bells out of each other for just shy of two hours. Based on a true story, the ‘Rise’ of the title refers to the ‘meteoric’ ascent of mockney street tough, Carlton Leach (Ricci Hartnett), from middle-rung football hooligan to, er, club doorman. Leach is then unceremoniously swept aside as the film hastily attempts to give the Rettendon Range Rover murders a once-over in its scrappy second half. There is fun to be had deconstructing writer-director Julian Gilbey’s laughable join-the-dots yob patois, as every sentence seems to start with an, ‘I’m gonna fackin’…’ or ‘You fackin’…’ or, on occasion, ‘So then I only went an’ fackin’…’, typically concluded with a mandatory ‘caaaant!’ The direction, too, smacks of sadism, especially the obvious glee Gilbey gets from filming violent scenes in close-up and, in the case of the bloody shotgun-to-the-face denouement, in triplicate.

Media Audiences

The target audience of Rise of the foot solider would be males over the age of 18. I would believe that the target audience is this because the certification of the film is 18 and as the film has violent scenes it is more likely that males would watch it rather than females.

The audience are likely to receive this text in a very hard hitting as the text is based on a very serious matter. The audience can be even more touched as the film is based on a true story which in the back of their minds they will be thinking, did this actually happened?

The audience of this film is not huge because it is a art house film which is based in Essex in London. Therefore, the film was only shown in the UK which limited the audience to only being in the UK and not around the world.

The uses and gratifications theory of the film is primarily personal identity and surveillance purposes. This is because the target audience can relate to this if they they have been in the same situation as situations like the ones in the film are still going on today. Also surveillance purposes for the A/B demographics so that they have an understanding of what happeed in the past and how they can help improve these issues.

Media Values and ideology

In the film there are alot of issues that are brought up and as the film is based on a true story it makes it more hitting for the audience. The issues that are brought up in the film is the misuse of drugs. This is a big issue as in the world the drug rate is increasing rapidly and the quicker people realise the issue, the quicker it can be stopped. Prostitution is another issue that is raised in the film as there are explicit scenes in cars. Gilbey has added this particular scene as it may have happened in the actual true life event or it could be that it is a issue which needs addressing.
