Use of films in British Social realism

What is the link between British Social realism themes and the real world ?

British social realism films and the news have a common base. It is all based on things which happen in britain itself. Whilst watching the news it reveals many devastating things which you look upon and feel bad towards to. 
"#MyJihad is to kidnap and terrorize the kuffar. What's yours?" - This is a quoted line from a case of a youthful Islamic group who are in support of the alleged terrorist acts going on in Syria  The men are ages among 18 , 21 and 33. Therefore a fairly young group. This almost links with the British social realism film " Four lions " (2010) . I was immediately engaged on to the story as it reminded me a lot of the whole plot of the four lions film , in fact and im sure a lot of people who have watched the film are thinking the same thing.  Like the young men in the four lions characters , they have got the wrong conception of the Islamic term of jihad. And plan to base their jihad on a terrorism act. Jihad which is an Islamic term for every Muslims duty , it means to "strive in the way of god ". Terrorism is a highly violent procedure , Islam certainly does not promote this sort of corruptness in fact it promotes peace. As most people would know that Islam means peace.  Therefore the line immediately shows the people involved in the real life association of the terrorism act are no different to the characters in four lions. Even the term "kuffar" is used , which is repetitively used in four lions.  This is a perfect example of how the link between the British social realism genre and the real world problems are so intact , because the real life case study is almost the same as four lions. Which shows British social realism films are showing what truly happens in the British society .

What is unique about how themes are explored in British social realism films ? 

British social realism films are set in normal situations. They make out as if the actors are living the usual life of a British person. They do include difficulties , such as a bad area to grow up or an alcoholic mother. And many other scenarios which i am sure many film institution used. However BSR include things which you don't see in your average Hollywood film. They include vile and disgusting sightings which effect you very badly. In a sense they do go over the top in trying to portray what sort of violence goes on inside parts of Britain . One theme is domestic violence , films such as Final destination are every brutal however it has become a sort of entertainment as it is all fictional based. An opposite of this would be the 1997 film " Nil by mouth" . This is a great example of domestic violence , and it is very moving. As the woman is being very brutally beat up by her husband  And he fact that they do not show the woman being beat , leaves us to imagine how she looks. This has an immediate effect on the audience , and it makes us feel sorry for her as well as disgusted. This a great example of how unique the way British social realism films portray their themes.

Are there any themes which are essential to British social realism films ? What are they and why are they essential ?

In British social realism films , they reveal many themes which go on in Britain.  These themes consist of violence , racial injustice , drug and alcohol abuse. Without these sort of themes BSR cannot make people realize that Britain has many shocking things which happen. these themes of violence , are things such as killings , fights. Racial injustice is another theme which strikes as very important in BSR and it is essential because as people thought that we are getting rid of racism the fact it still occurs . Makes people very sad , meaning the BSR films ethos has worked as they try to show what literally occurs in Britain.
