Four Lions notes

Clothing is Pakistani robes for men stereotypical of the Asian Muslim people.
Props included bombs and guns- which confirms suspicions of terrorism
Setting of some scenes are in Pakistan, near Al Qaeda head quarters

Non Hollywood production, Film4 production
Not much marketing in terms of trailers, posters or publicity
Low budget, Art house characteristics

Comedy, drama
Themes of terrorism, friendship and religion
Social downfalls highlighted within society, this is tragic

Women are shown to take orders
The production stereotypes ALL Muslim men to be extremists
Misrepresentation of the religion

Men and women aged 16-50, middle class to working class
C2, D, E
Succeders- people that seek control (terrorists)
Strugglers- escapism is needed from reality
All backgrounds may watch, however may offend Muslim people
Watch production for entertainment, escapism
Likely to cause moral panic

Targeted towards religion of Islam
For a multi-cultural society where light racism is acceptable
The movie is aimed at political change, and to encourage social change towards religions
