BULLET BOY SYNOPSIS

Within the Bullet Boy trailer, the beginning is very dramatic with armed police officers breaking down the door of Ricky's flat, pointing automatic rifels at him, his mother and younger brother whilst interrogating them. The trailer moves on to a clip where Ricky's younger brother Curtis is teasing him saying "You might find it hard to gain anything with a criminal record. Ricky is also shown having a good time at a rave with his girlfriend and ice skating with her saying, "I stay around here, people are just gonna drag me back in." Ricky's friend Wizdom is a typical street thug with doesn't share the same ambition as Ricky to leave their criminal pasts behind them, justifying himself by saying "I ain't leaving the manner - I ain't got nowhere else, I don't know nowhere else." Wizdom reflects the typical mind state of a modern day young black male growing up in Britian, restricting themselves to particular areas of London due to the rise in postcode wars derived from gang culture (e.g. The Bloods and the Krips). Unlike Kidulthood, Bullet Boy can be seen to show crime for what it really is, and the harsh consequences that come along with it, such as the police raid, but more importantly Wizdom, and even Ricky the protagonist, both loose their lives because they didn't apsire to improve them.
