How does your media product represent particular social groups? (Question 2)

The character of Barry in our opening sequence could be compared with the character Alan from the Hangover. This is mainly as a result of their nature. Fro example, Barry in our sequence is supposed to be a fairly simple character of low intelligence and a lack of common sense or rationality. As shown when he asks instantly for a "Cuppa" rather than asking why he's taped to a tree and upon realising where he is he seems to care little about the fact that he is in such a strange situation, instead complaining about louis' seeming difficulty, by refusing to make the tea. We see it again when Barry is reminded by Louis that he has claustrophobia. the fact that he needs reminding of his fears exemplifies the fact that he;s not particularly smart or rational. Similarly Alan in the Hangover shows a lack of rationality and sense in that he is the reason for their situation in the first place due to his drugging everyone. That he would think this a good idea again suggests a lack of intelligence/rationality.
