The clash of classes
This movie is a portrayal of the poor working class, on the Dole and their frustration with Thatcherism. Auntie Barbara represents a working class girl, gone to college, married up and now lives a miserable existence with a cheating husband. She is fake and has to put on aires including changing her accent in order to work in the bank. Mark is a young man trying to survive in the terrible unemployment and realizing he has no future or that his future is what his parents have...nothing. Coxy shows the disillusionment of the youth as frustration and anger are apparent in his destruction of materialism. His "punk" clothing attire demonstrates his need to show the establishment the rebellion is at hand, and the working class is not going to take it anymore. Mark is slow, perhaps he is to represent how the working class is viewed by the other classes. The parents are on the Dole and have become stagnated in their existence. They see no way out of their predicament and have no goals to leave. They are products of the system.
