British representaion

In Both Passport to Pimlico and The belles of st.tinians the representation of gender is portrayed by the younger generation and their rebellion.

PFP - the young boys with thier cockney accents and playing with a tyre that leads to the plot sickening. plus when they are in the cinema they are rebellious by shouting and cheering at the screen and making a menace of themselves.

BST - Throughout the film the young girls are also portrayed as rebels as they pull childish pranks and also speak with cockney accents that goes against the fact that they go to a prep gramma school.

Clip 0.20



The representation of britain as a whole is shown in both films as the stereotypical bitish ways -
In st.tins the we watch the girls playing hockey, the whole scam with the horesracing and the girls producing Gin in the classrooms
This is followed in Passport in the last scene where they say "welcome back to britain!" and then it chucks it down with rain.



Fashion and women - miss fritton and the women in Passport both hhave a need to perfect thier appearence and dress nicley.
