The movie itself
A 16 year
old girl lives with her mother in a council estate. She is brought up around gangs
and has been slightly influenced to steal when in need due to her being so
poor. Her mother has been diagnosed with cancer and is asked to pay a great
amount of money for her treatment. However, she cannot afford this and so she
joins a notorious gang known for selling drugs, in her neighbourhood. Throughout
a year, City (The protagonist) is told to sell drugs as well as to collect
them, she messes about with her new friends and touches them e.g slapping their
bums but the gang members don’t take any notice of her strange behaviour as
this is considered as normal. The main gang member, Mercedes, begins to fully
trust City and takes her on a big job. They get into a car and during the course
of the journey City starts to touch up Mercedes. This gets her vexed and she
realises who she truly is, causing her to arrange her gang to beat City up…
Opinion of the film
My opinion
of the movie is that overall it was very successful. The characters had adapted
to their roles very well which made everything seem real making it more
interesting. The setting was appropriate as it was set in a derelict estate
which suits the concept and attracted the audience because they can really
relate to it and gain an insight of what reality is really like. Also, the music it think went extremely well
as it added depth to the scenes being played as well as adding tension and
suspense at the end where the audience do not know what has happened to City
when she gets punched. However, even though my original concept was gay drug
dealers, I still think it is successful of using lesbian drug dealers instead,
because it firstly adds a twist in the movie and secondly its unique as you wouldn't see a group of girls selling drugs to other people now, would you? And no one
has thought of the idea as well.
Interview – City
So how did you find your first movie
on set with everyone else?
Umm, well yes
this is my first movie and I would say I actually really enjoyed it. It was
great meeting new people and making new friends, it was an amazing experience.
I loved the make-up and all the different props I was told to wear as it really
helped me to get into character. It felt like I had already known everyone, that’s
how close we became and most of all, the director. She is probably the best
person to work with; she’s really kind and doesn’t shout out you if you get
something wrong, so that was one of the best things about working on set.
How did you get the job?
Well I was
told there were auditions for a movie called Problematic, I read what it is
about which fascinated me a lot and so auditioned. A week later I got a phone
call from the director saying I got the part which I was ecstatic about and so
here I am.
Lastly, what was your favourite
scene?
Ahahaha, my favourite
scene ahh I would say the part where I had to be beaten up. I don’t know why
but i have always wanted to know what it would be like to get beaten up and I
finally know. Well I didn’t actually get beaten up, it was a fake fight but I still
loved it.
