The Evil Boy Makes a Story

Lindsay. Anderson is one of the banner figures of the British "Free Film", this "If..." is his masterpiece of the year. At that time, it was a time when the world's student wave was violent, and Lindsay, who had always been keen on making troubles, was of course unwilling to be reconciled to future generations. The movie is full of epitome of the times, anarchist-style mischief, and other kinds of oil, salt, sauce and vinegar. With this face that Chinese rebellious youth almost knows, the movie is naturally beautiful.

In China’s various literary and artistic publications with undesirable tendencies, almost all have exhibited movie topics such as "25 movies that are most suitable for literary youth", "must-see movies for young rock and roll", and "Cruel Youth Movie Journey". Of course, most of the selection criteria are based on fame, so Kubrick's "A Clockwork Orange" has become one of the best cardiotonic agents for a generation of angry youths to quickly treat cultural anemia. This face appeared in the movie for a minute. Later, you will not forget. Mick. Jagger's ugliness, the evil glow of blue eyes, clumsy but dramatic body language, what is this actor's name? Sorry, I forgot. Even if he doesn’t engage in women and rock music, when he comes on stage with a hedgehog beard in "If...", you wouldn’t think of him as a good thing, so at the end of the movie he held a machine gun and went crazy to the leaders of the school. When shooting, you will also feel that this is a logical thing.

The school is a hell of good students and a paradise for bad children. Three nasty bad children entered a church school with strict management but full of absurdity and homosexuality. They became the devil with horns on their heads, taking pleasure in ravaging the teaching system all day long. I was so happy that I had entered the legendary Garden of Eden. As for the hypocrisy of education, there is no need to go into details. Ancient and modern China and the West are no different. Rebels are bound to be oppressed. Flogging and scolding will turn good boys into sheep, but they will anger the sleeping lion cubs. The three musketeers began to fight back. They brought girls and guns and ammunition. They shot at the school celebrations like terrorists. Their blue eyes filled with the happiness of the Avengers, just like the anger of the British "Angry Youth" genre. All are radiating towards the long history of the British Empire...

At that time, there were still many years before the punk movement, and McLaren was still messing around in the street, ready to squeeze out the acne on his face or mending his dirty pants. His wife who later became the Queen of Fashion is still working as a happy handyman, and Luton and Sid should still be bullied or bullied in middle school. The prelude of anger started from the movie, and with the help of the power of surrealism, it gave the fortress-like education system and the chaos of the whole world a clear and loud slap. Of course, Lindsay’s understanding of surrealism is far less than that of the great Bunuel, but he has his own irony and successfully used his IQ.

Have you seen the "cloud in pants"? I have seen it, but do you believe it? Everything exists if, if it is a good vocabulary of excuses. If France didn't have Hugo... If the Beatles didn't have Lennon... If North Korea didn't have nuclear weapons... If there was no me in this world...
