Set in Nottingham, A Room for Romeo Brass tells the tale of schoolchildren Romeo and "Knocks" - neighbours and best friends. That friendship is damaged, however, when an older man named Morrell arrives on the scene. At first, the Morrell seems harmless enough, if something of a sad loner - but soon he comes between Romeo and Knocks, before revealing himself to be far more dangerous than first thought. Nothing in this marvellous film comes sugar-coated - but is all the more impressive for it.

    I think at the beginning it was a bit borig because of all the credits and as we got further and further into the film there was a lot of unnecessary swearing, especially for it being a 15 however, i thought that the second half of the film was slightly better than the first but i still didn't enjoy it that much.
    What i did like about it was the fact that it portrays what life is like in the rougher part of towns and cities and how it shows points about real life situations. I think that the ideology that is being put across is showing how every new person that comes into your life has a darker side and like everybody else will be hiding something, i think it also puts across how you never really know someone and that people can be influenced others around them.
    From a realistic point of view i think that it is partly a good portrayal of violence, as the character of Morrell is based on the stereotype of the "hard man" who acts tough and has to get what he wants.

    A room for romeo Brass is all about two best friends called Romeo and "Knock". Romeo lives with Mum and sister but his Dad lives elsewhere. Knock has a really bad problem with his back and has to have a serious opperation. At this time, Romeo has made friends with his sister's 'boyfriend' and chooses to hang out with with his new best mate than go and see knock in hospital. When Romeo's sister and her partner have a slight... dissagreement, her boyfriend decides not to hang out with Romeo anymore and instead decides to change dramatically. Romeo then comes 2 his senses and goes to see knock at his house but he wont answer him so Romeo sits on the dorstep and cries. When the changed boyfriend arrives all hell breaks loose but the problem is sorted soon by Romeos Dad who is in just the right place at just the right time. Knock invited Romeo into his room and reveals to him that his school had supplied him with a semi-proffesional magic set. Knock says that when he gets out of his cast he is goin to be a magicion. When he does get out of his cast, Knock puts on a magic show along woth his capable assistant 'Miss Romeo'.
    The film was very realistic and showed exactly the kind of things kids get up to and what they talk about. I would recommend this fil to anyone interested in films about reality and those who enjoy favouritism lol
