of the plot and characters.
The movie Brighton follows the lives of two working-class couples, Jake and Joanne and Lee and Lisa, who go on a day trip to the beach in the seaside town of Brighton. However, they find that the town is changing rapidly due to gentrification and they are unable to afford the trendy cafes and shops that are replacing the traditional seaside attractions.
As their day goes on, tensions rise between the couples as they struggle to come to terms with their shifting identities and their changing relationship dynamics. These tensions culminate in a violent act of revenge, when Lee and Lisa take their anger out on a wealthy couple they believe have spurned them in a cafe.
The aftermath of the attack exposes the complex social and economic factors that have led the couples to this point. It reveals the deep-seated tensions around class, gender, and sexuality that underpin their relationships and shape their experiences of the changing world around them.
Ultimately, the movie portrays a stark and thought-provoking portrayal of the social and economic changes taking place in British society, while raising important questions about the nature of power, inequality, and identity.
