From this clip I can identify 3 main characters two boys and one girl, they seem to be young adults ranging between the ages of 17-25.It started off with just the two boys then later on in the clip the girl appears. They seem to go through good times and bad times within the clips for instance where they are joyful for example when riding in the car together laughing (1:10-1:13) and where the girl is crying and the boys are fighting (1:48 -1:56).


From this clip it seems to me that these two boys have set off on their first holiday together and they have done this by taking a road trip and they have done this to escape from the world to experience new things and adventures.

These locations have been chosen as part of their road trip, and from every different place that they stop off or go past they are gaining and learning about new experiences. They also learn about different cultures and destinations and this can be a major learning curve for them.


This film is saying that the ‘Rites of Passage’ is all about finding yourself and the emotional development of young adults. The film also shows that the ‘Rites of Passage’ is also about the stages of life this is shown, for example when they drive pass the wedding car (1:15-1:17) and when the pass the dead person lying on the floor (0:42-0:44)these are both stages within life.
