Stanley Kubrick a genius of art and culture created a film called 'The shining' a horror that thrilled most audiences, his work is very open minded and The shining was a very hard unconventional film to create, still early 80's late 70's film it brought a lot of different options for audience members, it was the usual narrative for a horror however we see various paradigms that let us know what is going on.
Jack Nicholson was the main character and Stanley Kubrick interrupted a very genius character under the terms of what was actually happening in the plot.
Stanley Kubrick made a variety of different films mainly for each genre this one was a very big horror in the day and took almost a year to shoot, Stanley Kubrick takes time with his films, and working with Steven King the films portrays a wide variety of unusual acts that you wouldn't normally see in a horror for instance when you see the bear in a hotel room after 'Wendy' was running away from 'Jack'. A very unusual scene however Steven King and Kubrick are known for their unconventional and unusual narratives, so when working together they produce good quality films.
Some of Kubrick’s films that he has made in the past or future, I can see that his films are not all clearly structured, this being that the characters throughout the film may be more important than you are lead to believe, this is a very good tactic that Kubrick uses to let the audience engage in his films.
Not only did Kubrick do The Shining he also did Clockwork Orange a fantastic representation of a young persons life, for example showing the sexual activity that young people crave. It was designed to show a young persons life that had been exaggerated to interest and excite audience members so that it was fun to watch, this being quite common for Kubrick’s line of work something that is very different to normal films.

Representation of Gang culture of clockwork orange and kidulthood
There are a wide variety of simulates and differences in both films ‘Clockwork Orange and Kidult hood’, however as the films are set in a different time periods the representation has gradually become more in depth and detailed.
Clockwork Orange explores a very different side of teenage life, and explores the acts and behaviour of young people via sexual aggression and abuse but for pleasure, in contrast to Kidult hood which explores the behaviour of young people through acts of violence for the hierarchy of a status in society.
Both films continue to represent young people but because of the time s[ace between each film we see the representation of gang culture very differently, this is because of the different demands from each target audience from different time periods. For example young people are represented very freely in Clockwork orange, when Alex decided not to go into school and the parents are very unaware of his actions, in contrast to Kidulthood where more older people recognise the acts of young people a lot better, for example when the teacher is on the playground in Kidult hood and understands what’s going on but is too scared to stand up to the young people because he knows of the consequences.
I think that gang culture is accepted in both films, but the level of tolerance that is given in both films is very different and we see the change in time periods from the 70’s to the earlier 00’s, it has gradually become more accepted in society as the level of violence continues to grow.
Although both films are graphic in terms of violence and sexual acts, Stanley Kubrick use the violence and sexual scenes to represent a minority of younger people whereas Noel Clarke represents the young people in way that shows there way of life and that a majority of young people act the way they do in the film, and that is the main difference in both films.
Although the line of work that has been done in both films is visual and relatable to audience members it is clearly created in different times and different mannerisms but still conveys similar aspects to a young persons life, including drug abuse alcohol and sexual activity. Even though both films are from different times we can see that as time has gone on their still is that level of activity in a young persons life but Noel Clarke has delivered in a more aggressive way showing the status’s in life and the levels of hierarchy whereas Kurbrick shows from an overall aspect young people do the same things.
