    A masterpiece of the British New Left, without the over-romanticisation of working-class life. The male protagonist seems to be rebellious by nature, questioning all state apparatuses and their ideologies (juvenile reformatory schools, TV education, etc.), but can only helplessly mock or resist. It also revealed the huge gulf between the New Left and the working class in British academies in the...

    The montage at the end is very powerful. The director did not believe that the social reforms that existed at the time were very clear in terms of class position, but they also showed the same sense of powerlessness as the...

    Truffaut drew nourishment from Jean Viggo's "Practice Zero" and Buñuel's "The Forgotten People", and finally combined his autobiography to shoot "The Four Hundred Strikes", which opened the door to the "New Wave". ", and just a few years later, the United Kingdom, which is close to France, put this variation on the screen again, and it finally became a representative work of the "Free Film Movement". The bird's-eye view of the reformatory, and the distant view of the seaside. The use of...

    It's hard to get out of the past. It's hard to use long-distance running. It corresponds to a hopeless life. Boys and girls escape from the town and still have no hope of life at the beach. Finally, a friend is jailed and away from him. Kim's mother said 'you are the same as daddy' and it finally burned 3 Stacy's escape was already tamed but the arrival of smith gave him the courage to destroy it was also a form of...

    8/10. Is the anger of long-distance runners inner confusion or social injustice? In fact, the visibility can be stronger. The actor's acting skills are good, his skills are very advanced, the editing and photography are very thoughtful, and the long-range processing is very good.

  • Stacy, Drake House Leader: And always remember, they've got the whip hand.

    Colin Smith: Do you know what I'd do if I had the whip hand? I'd get all the coppers, governers, posh whores, army officers and members of parliament and I'd stick them up against this wall and let them have it 'cause that's what they'd like to do to blokes like us.

    Stacy, Drake House Leader: You'll learn.

    Colin Smith: We'll see.

  • Brown, House Master: Now when you broke into this, um, what was it...

    Colin Smith: Bakery

    Brown, House Master: Bakery, yup... what were you thinking about at the time?
