Tyrannosaur

Tyrannosuar represents a different type of identity for British males. We follow the main character, Joseph, an unemployed widower with a drinking problem, who also suffers with continual rage and violence. After meeting Hannah, a religious charity shop worker, he attempts to turn his life around with her assistance and advice. However, we find that Hannah also has a problem of her own, she is a victim of abuse in her marriage and it is slowly destroying her too. There is a transition in the film as Hannah begins by taking pity on Joseph, but soon Joseph finds that he needs to help Hannah instead. As a whole the film has deep religious connotations and proves that abuse and domination of men is still a problem in the 21st century.

One key scene would be the Joseph's second visit to the charity shop. Joseph talks with Hannah, and brings a sense of realisation to her life, and perhaps the audience as well - that the world is not as nice, and easy as we would all like to think. There are clear class issues that Joseph highlights in his dialogue, representing himself as a symbol of harsh realities.

Another key scene could be the funeral, where Hannah realises that these lower class people are perhaps even more forgiving, and community-like her Christian friends, her family and even her family. This is a definate social comment, and proves that we all too easily stereotype the lower class like Joseph. There is also religious connotations, with the writer questioning how God could create evil in the world, and how women could suffer from such sexual depravity.
