British Gangster Representation in Shifty
The 'hoodie' sub-genre of British gangster films is portrayed excellently in the film 'Shifty' which I have recently watched. These films only recently started to replace the Geezer archetype in the last 15 to 20 years. The 'hoodie' representation of the British gangster may indeed be more relevant to young British audiences as the language, accent and clothing is more familiar to them in their everyday lives. Particularly the line in the film as he says 'this isn't college anymore' suggests anyone could become like Shifty (the protagonist). https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DT75k8sUXaQ Here is the trailer.
