      British people's English is so good

      This movie is a bit difficult to understand, although it is a classic of comedy and student movies. Behind its endlessly complex rhetoric and incisive dialogue, I am ashamed of my superficial level of English, so I can only feel a loyal youthful indulgence, persistence, neuroticism, and a dilemma about reality. "When you slowly ascend with a hot air balloon, you are faced with a very difficult question: do you let go before it is too late, or follow it to rise to endless heights (high, also...

      Hamlet, Act II, scene 2

      I have of late, but wherefore I know not, lost all my mirth.
      And indeed it goes so heavily with my disposition that this goodly frame the earth seems to me a sterile promontory.
      It's a most excellent canopy, the air.
      Look you, this brave, o'er hanging firmament.
      This majestical roof fretted with golden fire.
      Why, it appeareth nothing to me
      but a foul and pestilent congregation of vapors.
       
      What a piece of work is a man, how noble in reason, how infinite in...

      Finally watched it!! As wonderful as I thought, it even surprised me!

      It's time to admire this movie. I saw the posters and stills before I watched it. The decadent and gorgeous British style, quite the feeling of NEW WAVE in the 80s, I fell in love with the two live treasure male protagonists at first sight,,,,

      but, I didn't expect it to surprise me! I thought that the jokes in this age-old film would not impress me, but after watching it for 5 minutes, I decided that this was the British black humor I wanted. Laughing from start to finish, at the end...

      "If there is a God in the world, why can my butt be so high that I get kicked?"

      In 1964, Bruce Robinson, who was studying at the Central Academy of Drama, met his new classmate Vivian. This is a handsome young man. Everyone says that he looks like Marlon Brando, and he will become a master in time. He is very talented, his performance is extraordinary, and his writing is flexible enough, but Vivian's genius is not here. Vivian's genius lies in that he is Vivian, and he uses his life to interpret this character called Vivian. From 1966 to 1976, Bruce Robinson wrote a diary...

      I will live my life tomorrow

      withnail,
      nervousness lovely
      sensitive heart, anger and pride weak
      love complaining (really nice British accent),
      that wearing a long trench coat umbrella loud like
      the proud Angels long a long, thin face speak English always slightly pride and resentment
      I decisively thought of Mr. Mad Hatter... the neurotic paranoia


      "I" the
      same neurotic
      cowardly and helpless compromise, low
      eyebrows, pleasing to the eye, and small-feeling...

      Rewatching, it just so happens to capture the absurdity, shock, brutality and beauty of the 1960s. We can live a short bohemian life and one day cut our long hair to play adult roles. The hilarity and laughter also ended in silence, saying goodbye again and again to Peter Pan Withnail, who would never grow up and...

      Let me say what, do those who think it's good really understand this British humor? ...... As a student studying film in the UK, I deeply feel the unique realm of British films to a certain extent... Most British filmmakers despise Hollywood... But Just like I like Lao Feng: pretend to be vulgar, you are really stylish, pretend to force you to be...

    Behind the scenes gags

    The film was produced by Handmade Films Ltd. (Handmade Films Ltd.) in the United Kingdom , because the company’s owner George Harrison liked Bruce Robinson’s script very much. But the other executives of "Handmade Pictures" didn't like this movie. They wanted a nonsense movie in the style of "Moncler Theatre".
    "Handmade Films" paid Bruce Robinson a £1 screenwriting fee and £80,000 director fee, but £30,000 of which has never been in...

    Evaluation action

    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....

    Movie quotes

    • Withnail: [seeing a road sign reading "ACCIDENT BLACK SPOT. DRIVE WITH EXTREME CARE"] Look at that, accident black spot! These aren't accidents! They're throwing themselves into the road gladly! Throwing themselves into the road to escape all this hideousness!

      [shouts out of the car window at a man standing on the pavement]

      Withnail: Throw yourself into the road, darling! You haven't got a chance!

    • [after coming out of a field, Withnail hasn't closed the gate properly, and a bull walks through it. Withnail hands Marwood the bag of shopping and jumps over the wall to safety. Marwood stands there, petrified]

      Withnail: [calmly] Grab its ring. Keep your bag up. Outvie him.

      Isaac Parkin: Hey, show no fear! Just run at it!

      Marwood: Well, that can't be sensible, can it? The bastard's about to run at me!

      Isaac Parkin: Well, it's randy!

      Marwood: Yes, yeah, I know he is!

      Withnail: [casually lighting a cigarette] He wants to get down there and have sex with those cows.

      Marwood: Shut up, Withnail!

      [the bull is scraping the ground with its front hoof, snorting]

      Isaac Parkin: Run at it, shouting!

      Withnail: Do as he says. Start shouting. He won't gore you.

      Marwood: A coward you are, Withnail, an expert on bulls you are not! *Aaaaarggghhhh*!

      [he throws the shopping the air and it scatters in the mud. Screaming like a madman he moves towards the bull, which turns around and runs back through the gate. He slams it shut and slumps against it, shaken]

      Isaac Parkin: Shut that gate and keep it shut!

      Withnail: [cheerfully hopping back over the wall] I think an evening at The Crow.

    • Withnail: Monty used to act.

      Monty: Well, I'd hardly say that. It's true, I crept the boards in my youth. But I never really had it in my blood, and that's what's so essential, isn't it, theatrical zeal in the veins. Alas I have little more than vintage wine and memories. It is the most shattering experience of a young man's life when one morning he awakes and quite reasonably says to himself "I will never play the Dane." When that moment comes, one's ambition ceases. Don't you agree?

      Withnail: It's a part I intend to play, Uncle.

      Monty: And you'd be marvellous. "It's gone. We do it wrong, being so majestical. To offer it the show of violence..."

      [as Monty continues to recite the line from Hamlet, Marwood gets up and whispers in Withnail's ear]

      Marwood: Please, let's go. He's a madman. Any minute now he's going to rush out and get into his tights.
