      Cemetery Crossing: The Discreet Charm of the Bourgeoisie

      American movies make you dream, and British movies show you reality. American movies are the heroic dreams of ordinary people, while British movies are class differences. Dreaming too much is easy to indulge in it, and the cruelty of reality is always discouraging. The crow turned into a phoenix always feels too far from reality, but can class differences really determine a person's life?
      "Cemetery Crossing" is a typical British film. The story is very simple, but it is the favorite...

      The Radiance of the Rain Song


            A small British movie, a British blue-collar friendship, an industrial town-style story of aesthetic fatigue, simple love and the temptation to jump out of the patio, strong mods feelings, embellished with a little contempt for class and racial discrimination, the highlight of the whole article is near the end In order to prevent him from being abandoned by his mother, he would rather be misunderstood and neglected. Bruce walked home from the detention center, lowered his head and...

      After reading it, I created a Baidu Encyclopedia for Tom Hughes. Would I say something like this hahaha

      It's a very good little movie. It's flat, and I don't even feel any climax, but I can watch it and see it in my heart. I like this ending very much, all have found their own direction, and it doesn't matter that they can't leave. People on the tail of youth are even more embarrassed when they watch this movie. I hope that one day, I can also leave the intersection of my cemetery, or find a reason to stay at peace of mind. PS Tom Hughes deserves to be a model, he has a good figure, but this will...

      Cemetery Road

      2010.8.9
      I really didn't think it was a comedy! It's still a movie from the 70's! Generally speaking, young people are looking for their own ideals. Everyone wants different things, and they don't need to be the same as others to be good. The most important thing is to find the life you want most from the bottom of your heart. Who said that when you are 40 years old, living in a big house and driving a big sports car means success ?This is also a kind of success, a kind that most people pur

      The subject matter is not uncommon, and the techniques are not new. The sense of rhythm is not enhanced by the humorous lines and high school bridges. The emotional direction is also a little less convincing. Passing work, but not...

      Mr Kendrick: Frederick Taylor. Freddie Taylor. Welcome to Vigilant Life Assurance. I see you grew up in Cemetery Junction. Went to Stone Meade, the worst school in the south of England.

    • PC Renwick: [in his face] Can I help you?

      Bruce Pearson: Wow yeah, you can start by brushing your teeth. What have you been doing, sucking a toilet bar?

    • Mr. Taylor: [to Freddie] You've got no respect, and I've told you about it a hundred times. I know why you're doing it now, because he wears a suit, he thinks he's better than his dad. Well, that don't mean nothin' mate, and one day he's gonna come down to work at the department and he's gonna realize he's just like the rest of us.

      Freddie's Gran: You listen to your father, he knows what he's talking about. You'll never amount to anything.
