3. Quadrophenia deals with collective identity and personal identity. How does the film illustrate the collective nature of mod culture? Can you think of specific examples? How does Jimmy change during the film? What do you think this change symbolises?
The group are different as a collective than they are individually. The fight scene at Brighton the mods smash up the town and it represents them as a collective identiity. They are all different as people which is there personal identity. The change represents growing up.
4. Could you make a modern-day version of Quadrophenia? Is there such a definable youth culture as the mods today?
This film was about teens wanting to get into the media by being bad. But nowadays most youths are trying to stay away from the media if they are being bad, because there are links to police with media. There is also a lack of definable youth culture. Fashion isnt even based on class anymore. Rich people dress like chavs and chavs dress like rich people. Its all very confusing.
