In the film, Attack The Block, age is represented in a negative way. It gives the impression to the audience that teenagers of our generation are 'chavs' and looking for trouble. Although Attack The Block has a comedy aspect to it, the way the characters are dressed and the way they talk gives this impression. It exploits teenagers as they are portrayed as idiotic and rebellious when infact its just a small minority of people in our society who are actually like that. It doesn't help the stereotype that people of an older generation think that teenagers are criminals, badly behaved, and 'thugs'. On the other hand, the comedy side of this film gives a slightly positive outlooks on teenagers, showing them having fun and that the life that they are acting out isn't all about being badly behaved.
