Investigation
of Genre
Violence
Violence is
mainly based within the thriller genre. In a typical thriller movie you’ve got
your good guy and the bad guy. There’s also normally a good looking woman involved
and of course lots of violence.
Our sub-genre
is football violence. Films such as green street, the football factory and
football hooligans all pretty much follow the same storyline. 2 teams that hate
each other get drawn against each other in a competition.
Fans from
rival teams meet up and have a scrap. Before the fights the fans normally meet
up in a pub, do drugs and are drinking booze.
The end
results normally ends in the main characters either winning the fight, losing
the fight and ending up in hospital or arrested.

Lots of violence is the main convention in football hooligan films.
The violent part of these films mainly comes from the two fans history. Local derbies such Manchester united v Manchester City and Arsenal v Spurs are huge local derbies and the fans of the two teams hate each other with a passion and want to be the best club in their city. Therefore off the field fans want to fight with each other.
