Collective Identity Case Studies

I am planning to look into a number of social realist films to show how collective identity can be shown and how the audience can identify with the characters involved. All the films that i will look have been released in the last five years to make sure that an accurate and up-to-date representation is given. The films i plan to review are as follows:
Fish Tank (Released: 2009, Country Of Origin: UK)
This Is England (Released: 2006, Country of Origin: UK)


When looking into these films, i will look into the aspects of the characters, their problems during the film, contemportary issues within the community, the characters attitudes and how the audience can indentify and aspire with the characters.
