Eden lake review, related to theories

This review is from twitchfilm which is a online website which reviews films.

"Steve (Michael Fassbender) and Jenny (Kelly Reilly) leave their upmarket Maida Vale neighbourhood in London to head off for a romantic getaway in the country where Steve plans to propose."

By mentioning that the the two charcters are from an 'upmarket' neighbourhood automtically creates cultural hegemony because it makes the main characters seem more superior to the 'thugs'.

"Once settled into their supposedly idyllic break, they quickly encounter a group of knife-wielding teens and their rottweiler."

This is an example of Aclands thoery. This represents the youths of being out of control. The person who wrote this review recieved that clear represention that the film is trying to get across, that these youths are out of control and have an automatic negative representataion.
