Theories/Theroists
The theories which i will reffer to for Rise Of The Foot Soldier will be Laura Mulvey's theory of the male gaze, Propp's theory of good vs evil. I will also pay attention to new theories of new men and the way in which they have been represented.

Contexts
The first issue that I will be focusing on will be male gang violence and how they have been represented in Rise Of The Foot Soldier. The other issue which will be covered is drugs and how they influenced our protaganist to do the things he did in the film. The final issue which I will look at will be the way in which women have been portrayed in the film. As the fim is based on a true story I will do a detailed analysis on the background of the actual events and see if/what the filmaker has kept or changed.

Other Texts
To test my hypothesis i will compare Rise Of The Foot Soldier to other texts such as football factory, green streets of hooligans etc. I will focuse primarely on these two films as they follow a similar narrative to that of RFTFS. I will foucus on how the gangs have been represented and if drugs was the main cause which lead to other more extreme issues.
