Representation Notes: Hotel Babylon

-

 Hotel Babylon:


  • Representation of ethnicity and their comparison

  • British white people compared to ethnic minority
  • Illegal immigrants are shown as cooks and cleaners, despite them having qualified professions. For example, the man helping the woman with diabetes was a doctor
  • Immigration officers appear to be white privileged people who freely demonstrate their positions of power.
  • Immigrants' lives (POV)
-Qualified people doin low maintenance jobs
-Desperate people
-Empathise with immigrants

  • Gender

Angelic white woman, lighting, calm, puts out the call to help others

Men seem inhumane, ruthless
Women are the concerned and caring people

Countertype of illegal immigrants being highly qualified
