Minder and Misfits social and political context
Analyse the two clips from (Minder and Misfits) and discuss how diversity within a collective is represented..
In minder the two different ethnic backgrounds are on the opposite side of the law in this clip. The minority of the black people are represented as criminals, they are represented as a lower class as they have tattier clothes in comparison to those of the white people. The white characters are all considered as being on the right side of the law and are hostages in the hold up of a launderette. In misfits however the group consists of many different ethnic minorities and are all portrayed as criminals, although the are different backgrounds there are still small things which unite these characters in the fact they are all young and are all portrayed in the same costume. This also differs from the minder clip as it shows the innocent person as a black person who in the minder clip would have been portrayed as an ethnic minority.
