Gone Too Far Review

5. Gone Too Far is an independent low budget film starring Malachi Kirby and O.C. Ukeje. This story follows the life of Yemi as he would meet his brother who has come to live with his brother. Seeing as to how Yemi is portrayed as a young troubled teenager that would have to deal with his brother Ikudaisy who isn't accustomed to the British youth culture. Other characters that are seen in Peckham would be characters such Amarni who is accompanied by Paris as the protagonist would constantly come across these characters in a relationship arc. Although Yemi can't see that Amarni is using him, his brother appears to be wiser understanding that Amarni doesn't love Yemi but rather is using him to get to Razer. Razer is seen conflicted with opinions about his heritage and the negative views that African cultures have that shows that they would also be considered as awkward to be with since their culture is very distinctive. One of the main focus points of this film would be how it approaches immigrant. On one side there are the young teenagers who would have negative associations with immigrants. Characters such as Amarni and Razer (for the most part) tend to deny their native culture and would rather be recognised as a British citizen. Meanwhile, there are the older characters. This would consist of Hi Res, Yemi's Mother and Brother who are seen as proud of who they are and aren't willing to shy away from it. This film would highlight a more positive representation of immigrants. However, the comedy element that would reinforce the stereotype in a humorous manner. Overall I think that it was an engaging  film that has a great moral story about discrimination that will probably change the minds of current young teenagers.

6. In my opinion, I think that they shouldn't restrict film production based on ethnic minorities. This would mainly be because this may restrict the films that would be produced. The reason i say this is mainly because of the fact that a majority of the film production companies may consist of a white population. If the ethnic restriction is put in place then this means that there won't be as many ethnic minority films as there would be. This would mainly be because of the minority of film producers aren't of ethnic minorities. This could then be considered a form of discrimination. This would mainly be because of now there may not be as much of a film variety. Although this could spark a new way for film makers to be recognised. However an audience would rather watch something that they know they would be interested in. And another factor to look into is the workplace. Seeing that this rule may only mean that Asian actors work for Asian producers. Although they may have an idea of the film, there may be another person that isn't Asian  that may have studied Asian Film. Would this mean that their studies would be considered a waste of time studying this style of film only to not use it. As well as that the restriction might also mean that films may not explore as many ideologies or opinions in their films if they choose to. This would mainly be because of the different look into how this could be done. This could mean that there may not as much flexibility. And since this regulation would only allow those who are of that ethnic minority to produce a film based on that ethnic minority, the same can be said about those who aren't accustomed to the culture. For instance, what if the producer for a European film had grown up elsewhere. All the norms and values may be different to what the producer is used to. This means that they may not have an understanding of how to represent the culture. This could also highlight the biggest flaw that this regulation has. As well as that would this mean that sci-fi films would cease to exist or would the extraterrestrials interpret another culture to make them seem abnormal. Would there be more loop holes with producing fictional material. This would mainly be because of the regulation that may mean that in order for them to portray different ethnic minorities they would have to be seen as an immigrant. As well as that would this also try to diverse the distribution of films. Although it can be argued that this regulation can give opportunities for many, how about those who had lived on from the success before the regulation. Would they be considered not very creative or would this restriction highlight the discrimination within the production team. This could highlight some drawbacks although ultimately this may have less diversity. This could be due to the success of the older format that had allowed for ethnic minorities to be presented by anyone.
