analysis of 3 teen movies

First movie. Adulthood

This appeals to the male gender more due to the theme of crime, violence, drugs and prison, this shows a stereotypical view to the audienece of how young men are portrayed and how gang culture is also portrayed. This also attracts adults too, as young people are growing up into adulthood which helps them to relate in some ways due to their personal experience. The setting also contributes to the attraction to young people as it shows a different perspective of life that not everyone understands.
