Abstract

The film productions related to themes that set the present direct ways or more contained intolerance, were commonplace in the scenario of world cinema. So, the research analyzes the representations of intolerance and fascist practices through cultural production in the 21st century. For this paper were chosen Hooligans (Green Street Hooligans - 2005) by Lexis Alexander and This is England (2006) by Shane Meadows as empirical objects. Given this, awakens our attention the frequency of films produced, which possessed as urban tribes related to theme clearly marked by fascist postures, in addition to these groups being involved in violent acts against numerous minorities, including Jews, blacks, homosexuals and especially immigrants. Thereby, the research questions the possibility of cinema as a vehicle able to explain this increasingly urban phenomenon in large cities.
