Written and directed by Andre Arnold, Fish Tank is a British drama film set on a council estate in essex. The story focuses on Mia, whom lives with her mother and sister. She has a passion for dance but is living in an isolated environment. Later on, she pursues a sexual relationship with her mums boyfriend which ends in the realisation he has a family she wasn't aware of. In the end, she goes to Wales with a boy she met at a caravan site.
The film is modern (2009) and so reflects current issues, which has inspired me to reflect current issues in my own film. There is a theme of social realism throughout the film, an idea i'd like too look into.
What I liked about the film was, similar to This Is England, how it depicts the reality of the way some people live and how, today, there are many people living in poverty.
This film has inspired me even more to look at social realism in my film and has me tinkling about how i can represent this in my title sequence.
