In the film, director Lindsay Anderson cleverly and fully exposed the darkness and hypocrisy of the lodging system in the 1960s, fables whether as an individual he should obey or resist the unfair authoritarian authority imposed on him. At the same time, facing this acute problem, the director cleverly used fantasy plots to cast a mist of truth and falsity, thus avoiding some unnecessary political disputes
.
"If." is a very political film that is intertwined with facts and fantasy. That school is actually the epitome of the country. If the authorities take high-handed measures against the people and claim to inherit the fine traditions, then, even if most people dare to be angry but dare not speak, sooner or later there will always be people who are not afraid of death and will revolutionize. The shooting by Mike and others was a catharsis of the strong dissatisfaction of the people.
The actors in the film acted extremely sincerely and movingly. The whole photography process is also very original, some scenes are shot in color, and some scenes are changed to monochrome or black and white, forming a strong contrast in the shape.
