A group of young nerds with inarticulate faces...

Movies and image effects are naturally the first to bear the brunt. If a movie cannot be convincing in the first place, it is a failed movie. No matter how strong its ideology is, it cannot attract my attention. Art films are the hardest to make.
Just like this "History Boys", I discovered that the original campus drama youth film can also be made so gray. The scenery was gray and gray, making people a bit like entering the bathroom, only to find that the shower head was full, so they could only stand there and wait for an empty seat, the feeling of being sticky and super unpleasant. This isn't a horror movie, it's not a cruel movie, why choose an actor who looks so unworthy of the audience? Teachers and students quoted some high-sounding words, which seem to be more reasonable, and the connection is more natural, but it seems to be deliberately showing off, and the rambling personality of Western languages, coupled with translation mistakes, really makes people feel No compliments.
Of course, the whole plot and what he wants to express are still worthy of praise and consideration. There are passages and plot developments that make people laugh or move. I keep thinking why can't Westerners slow down their pace? I'm not complimenting the Japanese here, but they can totally separate the pace of work from the pace of life, albeit overly soothing at times. I still have the blood of the oriental tradition flowing in my bones, and I would rather calm down and take a leisurely look at the handsome guys and beauties in the blue sky and white clouds, and enjoy the quiet sweetness and sentimentality. In the future, this kind of images and language will be annoying and the western youth school film will never be watched again.
