In 'Blitz', Steve McQueen offers a World War II drama that strangely recalls the youth-driven, perilous narratives of Dickens, infusing them with contemporary themes of race.
The journey of George, a biracial boy from the East End, evokes classic literary adventures yet highlights the racial injustices he faces in 1940s Britain.
While 'Blitz' taps into Dickensian storytelling, McQueen's exploration of race introduces a more modern twist, effectively mirroring the struggles of marginalized children during wartime.
Through George's harrowing trek to find his mother amidst World War II, the film presents an old-fashioned yet poignant reflection on societal attitudes about race.
