wasn’t sure what to expect of Chinatown‚ as I’m not from the area and I only really had a general idea of the community. I knew that Chinatown was a representation of Chinese culture‚ but I was surprised to see how representative it was of many other Asian cultures‚ such as Japanese and Korean. Even in preliminary research that I did‚ I only saw representations of Chinese culture.

The representation of youths in ‘A Clockwork Orange’ and ‘If….’ I will be investigating how youth is represented in the films A clockwork orange (1972) and If…. (1968) and how the films affected the views of the time and how the films influenced youths.
