Harry Brown Opening Scene

Harry Brown is about an elderly ex-serviceman and widower to avenge his best friends murder by doling out his own form of justice. The film was realsed in 2009 and was Directed by Daniel Barber. It stars Michael Caine, Emily Mortimer and David Bradley. We used Harry Brown as it replacates the stereotypical youth of todays society. It concentrates severly on the darker of todays adulences but still shows social realism and the way peer pressure effects us. The use of the mobile phone gives it the effect that its very real. Our opening scene shows realism through the standard continuity of Theo waking up, however through the flash backs it shows that there is a darker side to the story.
