The film gone too far was a film about the stereotypes of black people in Peckham who are divided by their culture the Africans and Caribbeans. I would give the film 8/10 due to the humour and clear message that it gives. The film could've been better as they only show one side of the film e.g it would've been better if the protagonist did a so called speech as he got recognition and then talks about how society has changed in my opinion that's how its should have ended since the film only focused on a small town peckham they should have showed different towns.

"This house believes that films featuring ethnic minorities should only be produced by those who have the ethnic identity being represented." This is because most of the popele nowadays  those who are white haven't experienced the things that black people have had to go through which differentiates them much more than the culture of both of the ethnic groups.. A black director to produce a film representing a black people and to be criticised isn't as bad as a white director doing this and being criticised. likewise, to try and understand someones culture and race is another thing which can cause a bias or stereotypical interpretation of what they see as the typical person from that ethnic minority group and these can also damage the people of that ethnic group because of the poor way they're being treated which has a big impact on how people view them in society after as well. The people who are living in London  have some areas that are dominated by certain ethnic groups so why couldn't that have affected the way someone has been raised and what they know about another ethnic group. The film may also be about something that they've been through but is also stereotypical about a certain ethnic group. This is something which can damage the ethnic group but if someone of another culture decides to represent something that they've gone through with another ethnic minority group it may just be for the purpose of acting and getting the message across rather than trying to portray the life of someone who is in fact black and living in London who has been apart of a gang or group and they still forget where they come from.

In conclusion I really enjoy watching realistic films and film such as "Gone Too Far" is now one of my favourite as it shows how society has now become so divided but yet people forget where they came from e.g background. I also respect the writer of the film as she as highlighted one of the key issues in society nowadays.
