The hilarious scenes of "Withnail and I" run through the entire film, which is unforgettable
. Rebellious youth love it because this is the life they are experiencing; adult men love it because they can see themselves in this movie, whether through "me" or "long nails." Even female audiences like it, because there are no machismo values in this movie, and there are only two newspaper groups of unwilling young people to keep warm. But in the final analysis, "Withnail and I" is a memorial to youth
.
This British film has a special place for those who want to spend a certain lost afternoon drunk. Bruce Robinson's brilliant script makes the characters in the film incredibly attractive. Richard Grant Esterhuysen's fascinating performance is full of pain and frustration. The final scene is extremely sad, "I" finally got a job, long nails abandoned in the downpour, holding a wine bottle, reciting Hamlet aloud, comparing myself to a confused wolf in a cage. Such moving movie endings are not common
