The British director was 78 years old when he made this film. The director, who had already closed the mountain, was dissatisfied with the politics and re-entered the mountain. In his creative philosophy, the film must express political views, which is also the standard he practiced throughout his life.
The film focuses on the social dilemma faced by ordinary people in the middle and lower classes of the UK. When recruiting actors, Ken Loach paid great attention to the social class that the actors came from. He believed that the life experience of the actors could best restore the state of the small characters in the film. Actors are not told the script before the performance, so during the performance, the actors have strong randomness and spontaneity. This form of actor selection allows actors to maximize the effect of naturalness in the play.
The whole film uses natural lighting, no lighting and deliberate atmosphere rendering, and almost no music is used. The film presents the temperament of a documentary. Let the audience feel that they are observing life, not watching a play, fully substituting into the scene, and following the ups and downs of the characters' emotions. Restore the dramatic tension to the drama itself, rather than staying at the technical level.
