There is a prestigious school with a history of 500 years in Britain. The school is a boarding school, all attended by boys. It has always been an unwritten custom that lower grade students must serve higher grade students. Bring them food and tea, shave their beard and comb their hair. This is even regarded as a "good tradition." However, several "rebel" elements headed by Mike refused to submit. One day, while other classmates were...

Just as the shooting on the screen does not harm the audience, the shooting in the film is also from the imagination of the rebels. Lindsay Anderson borrowed the title "If..." from the famous poem of Ladiad Kipling. It is indeed very appropriate to use here. Although the word "if" shows that this ending is not true, if the powerful cling to the old system and do not think about reforms, then the string of black dots behind this "if..." will become a real bullet directed at them.

"If...", a storm we have never seen before
There is a book called "Revolution! "The Big Bang of the 1960s", in my opinion, the 1960s is indeed the most glorious 10 years in the history of film. Nearly half of my favorite films are in this decade.

(Spoiler) The ending of "If..." may be reminiscent of Githyunson's "The Elephant". The bullied student shoots at the campus with guns, which shows "If..." The forward-looking of director Lindsay Anderson. He also clearly stated that the film has a prophetic nature. What if the tension between students and the system continues? The fiery student movement in 1968 and the subsequent school shooting tragedies confirmed Anderson's predictions were sadly accurate.
But "If..." adopts a... -

The British New Wave, rebellious enough, emotional enough to tear, anti-establishment and anti-authoritarian, rebelling against all inequality, thoughtful and meaningful, foreplay is a bit boring, the ending shootout is very cool, the final if reversal is bright and blind, thinking Sex is better, but the greatest significance of this film is still in enlightenment! What happened when watching the film: I have been confused about the intersecting law of color and black and white, and finally...
