This quote is describing genre and the repetition part of the quote means that the film is what you would expect from that genre but the difference part challenges what you would expect.
I have chosen to analyse the drama film 'Kidulthood' written by Noel Clarke and directed by Menhaj Huda.
Right at the start of the film the first thing that we notice is the very urban music that set the tone and the plot straight away. The music is at a quick pace which also back up the London city set where the film is based. This would agree with the statement in the repetition aspect because this is what we would expect from a inner city environment. Another way in which the repetition idea is supported would be the first piece of actual film that we see is some of the males in the film playing football. Football is seen by many also as an urban sort of sport so this therefore adds to the urban drama which the film is based around. One other example of an instance of repetition is that there are many cuts in the opening, this creates the feeling of the film being fast paced and frantic therefore complementing the inner city setting and the storyline which is about to follow.
There are however some instances where it would disagree with the repetition idea but would agree with the difference part of the quote. For example in some parts of the film there are some of the characters which are very well spoken. This seems to clash with the environment as most of the people there have Modern London accents and when the characters who have well spoken accents speak it seems out of place in this context. Another way in which the film would agree with the difference idea would be that the film is set it Ladbrooke grove in Kensington, West London. This is a well off place in London and the film completely contridicts the area that it is set in.

you need to embed the video and then explain what the Neale quote means in your own words. I'm guessing this isn't finished - you need some detail on what is typical of the genre and what is different.
