Comparison on Britsh Films

Somers Town and Slumdog Millionaire are both British films, but what makes a film British? They both have elements of different cultures in them, with some elements more apparent than others. In Slumdog Millionaire for example, the whole film is set in India and has an almost all Indian cast. This would lead you to disagree with the notion of Slumdog Millionaire being a British film, however there are other factors to include in this argument. Although the co-director, Loveleen Tandan originates from India, Danny Boyle is a typically British Director who has a number of British films under his belt. You would also assume that it's target audience is British as it uses the English language. In addition, the theme of the whole film is based around the archetypal British game show 'Who wants to be a Millionaire', suggesting it's ideologies are also British.
Somers Town is similar but in a different way; it's set in the England's capital, London. This instantly directs an audience towards labeling the film as British also, however like Slumdog Millionaire it has a cultured and relatively concentrated cast, Piotr Jagiello who plays Marek who is polish, Ireneusz Czopn who plays Mariusz is French and we also meet many other characters whom are also immigrants. The reason this film shows culture is its focus on the newcomers settling in and the troubles they may face.
Overall, I would categorize both films as cultured British Films, with Slumdog Millionaire less typically British than Somers Town.
