Messages and Values in the opening scenes of The Krays

A message in the film is The Krays believed themselves to invulnerable. We see this when there mothers tells them nobody will hurt them so this will give them a sense of invulnerability.

A value in the film is when people fear you it is good because you can do anything. We see this in the scene at the hospital when their mother shows her power and takes her child out of the hospital and no one will stop her.

A message is that the community is very close in the east end. We see this when all the housewives spend a lot of time together and support each other like when the police come for the father they all try and keep them away to give him enough time to hide.

A Message in the film is that the mother will influence the children. We see this in many times in the film like for example she tells them that no one will ever hurt them this makes them think that they are invulnerable and this is shown later on in the film.

A message in the film is that people will get back what they give. for example in the scene when the Father goes to strike the mother the twins stand up and fend for there mother as she looked after them a lot more than the father so the twins will look after her.

A value in the female stereotype is challenged in the film. We see this in violet and the other Female family members as they prove to be strong independent women and they prove they don't need men to survive.

A message in the film is the the lack of a male role model in the film. We see this as the Father is most of the time absent in the growing up of the twins and when we do see him he is either sleeping or attacking the mother another male role model in the film was the grandad and when we see him  provoking them against each other.

Alternative Points

Ronnie's insanity
Reggie's smothering of Frances (Male dominance)
The failure of the police to control the criminal activity
Male/Female relations (remember "men are born boys and they stay boys")
