Ill Manors Review

Ill Manors Review

Ill Manors is a British urban crime drama directed by the rapper and songwriter Ben Drew. The movie is based around what the artist and director Plan B has created a a movie based around his area of East London. The movie revolves around drugs, weapons, sex and violence.

Ill Manors is directed by Plan B and some would say his unique selling point for this film is that Ben Drew narrated the drama by rapping what was happening at that time which is smart because it engages the audience with the music but also tells a story. The start of the movie is the equilibrium where it shows the area being quite peaceful and doesn't show much violence however the disequilibrium comes up with they show numerous shots of drug dealers bagging up cocaine and dealing.

The Films motives were to entertain but also inform the audience about everything around them and what happens in society. One scene showed a classic example of gang culture where one of the boy named Jake standing with his friends who wants to buy drugs from the drug dealers. Jake helps his friend and goes to buy some weed from the drug dealers but they take his money and made him beat his friend up. This forces him to do this to get what he wants as a result Jake beat up his friend. After he does this the main gang leader is impressed and decides to bring Jake into his gang. This sort of thing reminds the youth watching that you should just stick to the law.
