The Boat That Rocked is a 2009 British comedy film written and directed by Richard Curtis. It is about a pirate radio station broadcasting rock music from an offshore ship in 1966 to circumvent the BBC's ban on playing rock music. The film follows a young man who joins the diverse group of DJs on the boat. In 1966, the BBC only played 2 hours of rock music per week while pirate radio stations played it 24 hours a day, attracting over half of Britain's population as listeners. The film is an ensemble comedy that captures the romance between British youth and the rock music that defined their generation, and depicts the DJs' battle against the government's attempt to outlaw pirate radio.

The rockers of the 1960s were motorcyclists who wore black leather jackets and were one of two conflicting youth groups of the time, opposing the Mods who rode scooters and wore suits. Fights in 1964 between the Rockers and Mods caused moral panic and they were seen as 'folk devils'. By the late 1960s, the groups had faded from attention and were replaced by Hippies and Skinheads. The Rockers were particularly prominent in southern England and listened mainly to 1950s rock artists like Elvis Presley, Eddie Cochran, and Gene Vincent.1920s

The mod subculture originated in London in the late 1950s among young men who listened to modern jazz music. It focused on fashionable tailored suits, music genres like soul, ska, and R&B, and riding motor scooters. British teenagers in the 1960s rejected the dull and repressed culture of the 1950s and created their own subculture centered around being cool, sharp, and modern. While newspapers portrayed mods as having a leisurely club-going lifestyle, most mods actually worked semi-skilled jobs with limited free time and income to spend on clubs and fashion."Gatsby" and the Roaring Twenties

The British Board of Film Classification (BBFC) responded by loosening its criteria and allowing more adult-oriented films to be shown. A key moment was the 1960 trial over D.H. Lawrence's Lady Chatterley's Lover, which helped shift public opinion towards greater acceptance of controversial topics in film.

Alan Freed was a pioneering radio DJ who helped popularize the term "rock and roll" in the 1950s. His radio show played rock and roll music and attracted a large teenage audience. This summary sparked a moral panic among older generations and scrutiny of payola practices in the music industry. An investigation revealed widespread pay-for-play among radio DJs, and while payola was technically legal, it damaged Freed's career. He pleaded guilty to commercial bribery charges and died in 1965 with his reputation tarnished.More from ecclestona (20)

The hypodermic syringe model suggests that audiences passively accept messages injected by the media, and that this directly correlates to anti-social behavior. Research by Bandura found children imitated aggressive behaviors they saw acted out. This supported the model by indicating media violence can lead to copycat violence. However, the model has been criticized for oversimplifying audiences and failing to see them as sophisticated media consumers.Exam question 1 (b)

This document provides guidance for students taking an exam that will ask them to evaluate one of their media productions in relation to a key concept. Students will be asked to analyze their work using one of five concepts: genre, narrative, representation, audience, or media language. They can discuss either a past AS or A2 production. The exam question will focus analysis on applying only one of these concepts. Students should demonstrate knowledge of the chosen concept and analyze how their work relates to or challenges the concept.Representation

It discusses approaches such as Marxism, feminism, and postmodernism for analyzing representations. Stereotypes are addressed as simplifying representations that provide shortcuts for meaning-making. The document aims to give students a basic understanding of evaluating representations in their coursework against these theoretical frameworks.Audience

The document discusses audience theory and how media producers construct imagined audiences to inform their media products. It addresses the debate around passive versus active audiences and different theories on how audiences consume and make meaning from media texts. The key points are:
1) Producers must define their target audience in terms of demographics, identity factors, and how the audience will use and find meaning in the product.
2) Audiences can be passive and directly influenced by media messages or active interpreters who bring their own perspectives.
3) When creating media, producers should consider audience research and feedback to better understand and appeal to their target audience.Media lang

- 1. THE BOATTHATROCKED Synopsis: (Warning:containsspoilers!) From the writer of Four Weddings and a Funeral and Love Actually comes The Boat That Rocked by Richard Curtis. A comedy about rock and roll and boys and a boat. In 1966 British pop musics finestera the BBC played just2 hours of rock and roll every week. But pirateradio played rock and pop from the high seas 24 hours a day. And 25 million people over half the population of Britain listened to the pirates every single day. Recently expelled from school, Carl (Tom Sturridge) has been sent by his jet-set mother to find some direction in life by visiting his godfather Quentin (Bill Nighy). However, Quentin is the boss of Radio Rock, a pirate radio station i n the middle of the North Sea, populated by an eclectic crew of rock n roll DJs. They are led by The Count (Phillip Seymour Hoffman), big, brash,American,a god of the airwaves,and totally in lovewith the music.Hes faithfully backed up by his co-broadcasters Dave(Nick Frost) ironic,intelligentand cruelly funny; Simon (Chris ODowd), super-niceand searching for true love; MidnightMark (Tom Wisdom),enigmatic, handsome and possessingan almostuncanny ability to have sex with anything remotely resembling a woman; Wee Small Hours Bob, a hairy late night DJ, whose hobbies are folk music and drugs; Thick Kevin (Tom Brooke), possessor of the smallest intelligence known to mankind; On The Hour John, the newsreader and Angus The Nut Nutsford, who may be the most annoying man in Britain. They set about helping Carl on his quest to find himself by, well, mostly trying to find him someone to have sex with. Life on the North Sea is eventful. Simon finds the woman of his dreams and is married on the boatonly to be left by his bride 11 hours later. Greatest DJ in Britain, Gavin (Rhys Ifans) returns from his drug tour of America to his rightful position as greatest DJ in Britain and clashes with the Count: A confrontation that ends in a dramatic and dangerous battle of nerve. And Carl discovers that his real father is one of the DJs. Tragically for him, its Wee Small Hours Bob, together with his beard. However, pirate stations have come to the attention of an establishment thats out for blood against the drug takers, lawbreakers and bottom-bashing fornicators of a once great nation. In an era when the stuffy corridors of power stifle anything approaching youthful exuberance, pirate radio becomes public enemy number 1. The explosive movement of rock n roll clashes with the governments Marine Offences Act, an attempt to outlaw the pirates and remove their ghastly influencefrom the land.All this is spearheaded by the fearsome Minister Dormandy (Kenneth Branagh), his aide Dominic Twatt, and assistant Miss Clitt. Fleeing from the government ships, the Boat of Rock hits a rock and sinks in the middle of the North Sea to the indifference of the politicians,butthe dismay of the fans.And in a Dunkirk-stylemoment, hundreds of local boats travel out in the middle of the night to rescue their favourite broadcasters from death by drowning. The Boat That Rocked is an ensemble comedy where the romance is between the young people of the 60s, and pop music. Its about a band of DJs that captivate Britain, playing the music that defines a generation and standing up to a government that, incomprehensibly, prefers jazz. Wee Small Hours Bob: Character based on Whispering Bob Harris. But who would get the joke?
