To what extent can we apply Alvarado's and Fanon's theories to these films? Do they reinforce or subvert typical black stereotypes in British film and TV? Refer to specific scenes and events in the clips in answering this question and aim for at least 350 words.
One of Destiny Ekaragha's films 'Gone Too Far' link to Alvarado's theory and fits into the category of humorous and exotic. It fits into these two categories as the film is quite comical, whilst at the same time the film shows the traditional ways and the culture of the characters. For example, the brother of Yemi, showed evidently how the culture is presented. Furthermore, most of the film was comical, especially at the beginning when Yemi's brother first arrived there were a lot of humorous scenes when they were walking around etc. Another film that links into Alvardo's theory is 'Tight Jeans'. This film also links into the category of humorous and exotic, as the film once again, is comical and it shows the life of living in an urban environment. In terms of Fanon's theories, it would link into decivilized youths.
