The Krays believed themselves to be invulnerable. This is evidenced during the playground scene, this is because they are walking through the playground pushing people out of their way and just pushing people for no reason. Another piece of evidence to show their invulnerability is during the National Service scene, this is because they walk out of National Service and punch the Drill Sargent.
The Krays family are very close. This is evidenced within the opening scenes as each member of the Kray family including the mother and her three daughters all live on the same street in East London. Other evidence to show this is also during the opening scenes is when the twins run in between their home and their Aunt Rose's home.
The twins are very close to Violet. This is evidenced within the film during the air raid scene when everyone is in the tube station and using it as air raid shelter, this is because when a bomb falls the twins run directly to their mother and she tells them "no one would dare hurt you, they wouldn't dare with me around'. Other evidence to show this is after the boxing match when their injuries are being cleaned up, Violet tell the twins they aren't to fight each other, and they both apologies by kissing her hand.
The Krays have a lack of male role models. This is evidenced within the film because during the film the twins are hardly ever scene with their father, the only time the boys are shown with their father is when he is hiding from the police constable and they tell him " Our dads not stupid enough to hide in the coal cupboard, is he?" Also, the twins only ever really have a relationship with their grandfather when he leads them astray during the boxing match.
Value:
When people fear you it's good because you can do anything. This is evidenced during the hospital scene as Violet Kray tells the doctor that she is taking Ronnie home from the hospital, showing that she can do what she wants because she made the doctor fear her by threatening him with one of her sisters. Another piece of evidence to show this is during the end of the playground scene as the children who are playing around them begin to move out of their way from being around the twins as if they were moving out of the way of something that was going to hurt him.
Women had the real war. This is evidenced during the opening scenes when the police officer comes looking for the twins father and Violet says to him "If you find him, tell me, I've got three hungry mouths to feed". This is also evidenced during the same scene when Violet's mother says "a women's work is never done, Constable" and then when Violet says "housework is a dangerous occupation".
Family comes first. This is evidenced within the film as Reggie feels as if he needs to help Ronnie with the business, this is shown that after the honeymoon Reggie leaves his wife (Frances) in order to be able to go to a meeting with his brother. It is also shown when Violet asks her sister May if she's lost Reggie now he's married, and May tell her "What Reg, you know you'll always come first".
Messages and Values that are developed or developed further in later scenes:
Ronnie's insanity. Ronnie's insanity becomes apparent later on in the film, this is shown through the pleasure he gets from killing people or hurting people, this is shown during the film when he is killing someone and has a smile on his face and is breathing heavily which shows he is getting pleasure from this.
Reggie smothering Frances (male domination). This is shown later in the film as Frances mood about marrying Reggie deteriorates, leading to her killing herself, this is shown in the film when Frances is talking to Violet and is telling her that she doesn't even know what she likes anymore she only know what Reggie likes.
The failure of the police to control the criminal activity. The twins in the film never seem to be caught until the very end. The community never tell the police about the things the Krays did. An example of this is when Ronnie shot Cornel in broad daylight and was not caught, another example of this is when they take the machine guns into the pub in broad daylight and they are never caught.
Male/Female relations. Most of the women believe they had it worse during the war than men, Violets mother says "men are born boys and stay boys", she also says this after the boxing match when Violets mum is shouting at Violets dad about leading them a stray and causing them to fight each other.
