Representation of Age - Film - Bad neighbors

Film
Bad Neighbors

This film shows the contrast in age with 2 parents and a fraternity.

The young neighbours are represented as only wanting to party and wanting to be superior
e.g. long shots of the house showing the young people partying,
close ups of alcohol showing the stereotype that young people get drunk all the time.

The parents are represented as wanting to fit in with the young people but also are most mature and do not like the neighbors
e.g. mid shot shows them wearing young clothes such as caps and sunglasses,

There is also a scene where the parents talk about not going out

Contrast between the ages
2 mis-shots show the older man loking unhealthy with his shirt off whereas the younger neighbor is shown with a six-pack and well looked after body.
-Shows the stereotype that  younger people want to look good and take pride in their appearance.
