Starter for Ten is translated into Chinese for love credits, which is a story related to love or credits. This time, it is straightforward to disassemble. If you don't understand the theme of the movie, it won't work. In fact, after watching this film, I have another feeling, like pushing open the doors and windows of the goddess of love, but entering an unmythical ivory pagoda by mistake.
It is inevitable for this kind of shadowy reminiscence film to tell a compelling story, but murmurs or impassioned arguments cannot be ignored. Standing in the speaker's corner in Hyde Park, you can pose and sigh like a god, or bomb the eardrums of the listener like a crazy typewriter. It doesn't matter to the audience, the important thing is probably that kind of experience. The director of the film, Tom Vaughan, can call the shots by himself and release the youthful story in his mind from his brain. Even if he borrows someone else’s diary, this process is wonderful.
In 1985, the University of Bristol welcomed new students. A boy named Brian became a part of this place. His arrival might not make this century-old school stand out differently, but there was a beautiful silhouette in his life that could not take away a cloud of Bristol. We also started the film’s 85 nostalgic journey from here.
Perhaps in order to extend the vitality of the movie, director Tom Vaughan has always refused to admit that the film’s strong nostalgia can change the costumes and set the scenes at will, but some stories do only have star-like brilliance in that era.
The televised college student intelligence challenge, popular music from the cure, Black, etc. in the 1980s, uneasy living conditions caused by the unstable economic development in the later period of Thatcher's administration, college students opposed to apartheid, various rallies seeking to resolve class contradictions, etc. , These may be familiar and long-lasting pictures for the British who have experienced that era.
No matter how brisk British cinema is, there is always a glimpse of solemn color inadvertently. Whether it's black humor or nonsense, this drama, as a simple youth romance drama, also achieves such an effect. A little attention will realize that painstaking effort. The cornerstone of the film's structure-opposing racial discrimination, advocating solidarity and mutual assistance, is clearly exposed in the memory of youth.
Decipher the four members of this team. The Asian girl who majored in medicine is rigid and focused. The beautiful Alice should represent a class of people who are handsome and ambitious but not smart enough. The last captain of Loser was called Patrick, the name has a typical Irish flavor, and James McAvoy's Scottish ancestry seems to show something.
If the above is just an unintentional coincidence, the various characters who are prepared to compete for the campus life outside of the competition can not help but say that it is a clever arrangement.
Rebecca, a thoughtful and humane Jewish girl, as the number one female, she is like an angel in the film, traveling through parades and assemblies calling for equality, peace, and love. Her invisible words taught Brian how to love and how Stick to yourself, how to choose your own life path. It is not that Jews like to be strong in life, they seem to have to choose a sturdy lifestyle.
And Bryan’s two roommates, one black and the other white, cross-dressing, drinking, lingering in the chaotic party of the game life, are like living props, moved to the camera, and then removed from the camera, telling the audience that they have also come. pass. There is also the inadvertent mention of the Indian custom of not using paper after defecation, which also reveals a message intentionally or unintentionally. The whole world is like this.
Although some are ridiculously wrong and ridiculously dumb, they are real. Even if people don't know the outside world, in another corner of the earth, there must be different nations living happily in their own way, and discrimination is meaningless.
Let go of these overly sensitive thoughts, enjoy the British humor of the film, and then turn your head and close your eyes to recollect, I believe that none of the characters remaining in your mind are unlovable. Regardless of class, skin color, or race.
