For this task we have decided to get a screen grab of our main character 'Lars' and compare him with the main character 'Marcus' from About A Boy
Marcus from About A Boy has many similarities with our main character, and these are a few examples. In appearance they both look very depressed and are pulling the same facial expression.
They are wearing similar costumes as each other as well, as in our film the main character has his school uniform on showing that he has just come back from his school day. He also has his bag on his back, similarly in about a boy Marcus is wearing his school uniform and he has a bag on his back, but there is a difference in both screen grabs as Marcus is wearing a hat on his head and also a very odd sweatshirt. Also on his uniform he is wearing a tie.
Both characters have a very similar role in each film, and they both have almost exactly the same personality. Marcus gets bullied at his school because he is a very strange boy, however, in our film our main character gets bullied at school but not for the same reasons. Lars gets bullied at school because he is very clever and knows every answer the teacher asks him and other students don't like him for it. The role of each character is to play a young school boy who gets bullied at school and need to find a way out of bullying.
In our film our character tries to get into a gang, whereas in about a boy 'Marcus' tries to make friends with one of his parents friends.
