My ignite presentation was focused on the representation of the youth, in the american comedy Bad Neighbours. My presentation will help me with my critical investigation was it allows me to clearly see how teenagers are presented in the film. Furthermore, as the film goes against the dominant representation of the older generation by showing them trying to act young and fit, allows a debate to be formed. As it's not only the youth who act in a reckless way. Additionally, my presentation goes through the points of the film showing the minority of teens who get peer pressured or forced into doing certain things which is still relevant in today's society. This will help with my critical investigation as it allows me to convey that not all teenagers are the same, and the film conveys and supports this by showing the minority of students who actually get pressured into things. Moreover, it doesn't only just show this, but it shows the minority of students who do both, party and study, and want a successful future. Therefore, my presentation helps with my critical investigation as it shows all aspects of how teens were presented in the film, and allows me to create a debate and argue that not all teenagers are reckless and misbehaved.
