      Once Judd and forever Guy

      I have always felt that I have no backbone in my life and I have never been able to firmly insist
      on the "correctness"

      of something People will be particularly at a loss . From Judd, we can see countless miniatures of who we used to be. Guy said: "Are you a communist because you read Karl Marx?               NO! You read Karl Marx because you know you're a communist." In fact, it's not really. The obsession with an unknown thing stems from dissatisfaction with reality and desire...

      "Classmate Love"

      The two protagonists are hereinafter referred to as RE and CF!

         GUY played by RE is suave, born aristocratic, and has a charming appearance.

         CF's JUDD is a radical communist who hates the privileged class and hates British teaching. Love to learn, love to read, is an unscrupulous freak in the school.

         Before I watched it, I thought RE would have a little love song with CF, but after watching it, I found out that there is no way, RE this guy is actually...

      Western predecessors of the country clubs

      I agree with the analysis of the left-leaning trend of thought in the 1920s in other film critics and the mapping in this emotional film. I look at the reality of universities and politics in that era reflected in this emotional film from another perspective (the road to fortune for student leaders).

      When we were studying, we knew that the most disgusting groups in Chinese colleges and universities were the slogans and cadres at all levels and student unions, who were keen on the...

      The feelings of the past are always poems

      I came across the movie ANOTHER COUNTRY on a weekday night. After watching it, it was already eleven o'clock. I should have gone to bed, but I couldn't help but do two things: find the source to download, and find the relevant movie. various comments, etc.
             Movies often move people, and even we don't even know why we were moved at the beginning. After I watched the movie several times, I finally knew why I was moved by this movie, and it was not just for the handsome man in the...

      write a few words

      The way of flashbacks has a vague and sad feeling that the old days were not beautiful and full of suffering. The indiscernible bits and pieces of the music outline the young and handsome faces. The bagpipes blew sadly, and the melody of the piano spread out like water marks. The James in the memory is like in the painting, but the passion can never be found again. Time is a wonderful thing, and the listener of the story can never intervene. He is already an old man in a wheelchair, and history...

      The British style is slow and the rhythm is about a student union. The rotten boy's school will never change. Uncle Colin has a vicious and arrogant look. The way of speaking has not changed for decades. I really love RE. It's a pity that it has been delayed for nearly ten years for being handsome, tall and...

      The story has huge background knowledge, please find supplementary lessons by yourself. These public schools in the UK are so scary, it’s not easy to come out with a healthy mind (thinking of the lively and lovely Dolson and BC… with teary eyes), and everyone must not look down on the fat, bald and decadent uncles in the country, they may be young when they are young. They are all beautiful men who are so good-looking and...

    "Another Country" is the final fusion of two characters whose viewpoints are incompatible with each other, to illustrate the complementary relationship between homosexuality and politics.  . ( Comment by Zheng Yiyong )
    The actors’ performances are believable, and the school’s claustrophobic elitism is more convincing than American films like " Scent of a Woman ." In a social context where only Boy George is publicly released to the...
