Analysis: Sweet Sixteen

Sweet Sixteen is a social realist film by Ken Loach released in 2002. Here is the trailer



The trailer starts off happy, with some melancholy music sung by a female singer, and the characters laughing and talking about how good its going to be

Then the name of the film pops up and a heavy bass note is dropped, instantly turning the trailer in a darker, more sinister direction. It shows the protagonist in a dismal situation of drugs and crime

Then the trailer returns to the original song, with Liam telling his Mother about their new home, leaving the question of "How does he secure a nice future?" "Does he secure a good future?" and "What happens a long the way?"
