Representing Britain and Britishness

Passport to Pimlico represents Britain as an independently thinking country, eager to prove a point. Everyone is quite worried about reputation but seem to be 'out for themselves.' For example, when the children set off an unexploded bomb and find treasure, the parents are not angry with them, they are proud and go to court to prove their child was the one who did it, so they can keep the money.

Passport to Pimlico represents britain as having cockney accents.

The Belles of St. Trinians suggests that education is not about the actual learning, but the experience of making friends and coming together to make things better. For example: All the girls come together to sell alcohol, capture a racehorse and fight against the people in power.

The Belles of St. Trinians also suggest that the children and youths are the ones in power over the adults. This is because they can not be controlled and do as they please. They also create plots and work as a team against the rest of the world. For example: At the end of the film, a girl steals a trophy and when given the chance to put it back, they all steal more.
The adults were also pelted with balls of flour which shows the children have no respect for people older than them.

The Belles of St.Trinians represents girls as the stronger sex and the ones in power. For example all the students and teachers are female and ttthhThis is in contrast to Passport to Pimlico where men are seen as the ones in power.
