This is too damn interesting. This group of people who never read, drink and cause troubles everywhere, even Mona Lisa thought it was someone new to the bitch next door, and was attracted by the simple explanatory text. Especially for our protagonist Robbie, this is the strongest fragrance ever smelled in life. This young man who was almost sentenced to jail for hurting others with malicious intent has just become a father recently. He is determined not to go on desperately in the back streets and alleys. He is troubled when there is only a promise and no direction for action. The whiskey of "What shit" made him discover that he has a sharp nose. Not only can I identify the vintage and type of wine after a little training, but I can also smell the spacious road that changes the gloomy future.
Starting from the Brighton School advocating the creation of real life fragments in open-air scenes, British cinema has laid a solid foundation for realism. John Grierson and Humphrey Jennings further consolidated this tradition through the "British Documentary Film School" before and after World War II. In the post-war "British Free Film Movement" period, Lindsay Anderson and Tony Richardson integrated strong drama into realist themes, bringing an extremely intense and beautiful scenery. In the past two to thirty years, the baton of poetry aesthetics and social responsibility is firmly held in the hands of Ken Roach and Mike Lee. Ken Roach has been nominated for the Cannes Film Festival 11 times and won 3 times ("Fatal The Archives’ 1990 Jury Award, “Stone Rain” 1993 Jury Award, and “Wind Blowing Rice and Waves” 2006 Palme d’Or Award) have undisputedly become the first contemporary spokesperson of the British realism tradition.
In Ken Roach’s new film "An Angel’s One", you can see a series of community faces and unemployment realities reflected in the old man’s aforementioned works. "Just last year, the total number of unemployed youth in the UK exceeded an unprecedented 100. Wan, I want to tell a story about this generation of young people. Many of them cannot see their future. They are convinced that they cannot find a stable and lasting job. What makes them in this situation? , And how do they view themselves?"
For this reason, he singled out four of the unemployed army, drunks, thieves, thugs, and gangsters. They were the kind of thugs who would definitely go to beat and smash during the London riots (sorry, only bookstores were spared at that time. Because no one reads books), but at the same time, they are also talented and straightforward young people with good potential. The director has to let them produce good-looking stories, so that the society pays attention to them. Therefore, he adopted the genre elements in the theft romantic adventure film and let a barrel of whiskey set a world record at an auction price of 1.15 million pounds to develop a wonderful story about growth. And the story of change. For the mob in the riots, whiskey is the devil; but for young people who are eager to fight, whiskey has become "an angel's part". A great promotional video for Scotch whisky culture, isn't it?
