Urban Realism

Kidulthood, Boys in the hood and Bullet boy all fit in to the genre of urban realism.The genre usually involves boys often ''thugs'' that come from usually poor working or lower class.They are often young teenagers who hang around in gangs and commit crimes.They are usually troubled and have bad attitude.They are usually set in the streets in the rougher parts of the city,they also usually live in councel estates.I have compared both trailers of two films bullet boy and boys in the hood and they have many similarities despite one of them being in Britain the other in America, this is because its a stereotypical potrayel of crime ridden cities and usually people of african heritage.
