Blank film exposure
Clare 2022-04-23 07:05:36
All the high-scoring films I exposed today, please pay close attention! ! ! The director is Nicholas Hytner, the one from Mad King George and Center Stage. The story of this film is about a high school top class (it turns out that the UK also has this kind of stuff) preparing for the Oxbridge interview, discussing books and knowledge with the teacher every day, the method is more documentary, there are too many dialogues, basically like classroom documentary, most of the time to me I don't know what to say, I really don't know how anyone would want to shoot something like this? ? ?

Mrs. Lintott: [dryly] Now? I thought history was "then".
