Don’t talk about nobles, just say it’s a psychological drama

The aura of nobility puts a high hat on this film, and most of the viewers' eyes are attracted by it.
But when sam finally laughed, he realized that this is actually a lovely story about a scheming man.

He laughed because he achieved his goal.


In the opening movie, he said he wanted to go out of his own way instead of following in the footsteps of his family. It is conceivable how much hope of entering Oxford after such a good brother is pinned on him, but no matter how he performs better, it is impossible to beat his brother. The pride of the family, the legendary president of the club. At the beginning of the film, he refused his father's request to change a room for him because his father repeatedly emphasized that he was in this room, and so was his brother, but he was ashamed of this. He didn't want to be covered in the shadow of his brother anymore.

He entered the club and got acquainted with the so-called nobles. They are cute and have no scheming. The party is just for fun, because this is the last three years of free time before they are bound by social rules.
But sam doesn't think so, his goal is to walk a different but more gorgeous road from his brother.

He did it, he became a legend among the members, because he had punished everyone, and everyone would be grateful to him.
To this end, he also got the opportunity to work alongside parliamentarians, a secure future. He even saved the three years of studying in Oxford and got the position he dreamed of.

So in the end, he laughed. Because he got what he wanted.

    A decadent generation in elite schools. A few paragraphs on campus are wonderful. It got more and more confusing after that. Actors are pretty good.

    A glimpse of the comments below and someone's serious analysis. This film is "beautiful in the dark..." This is really covered with the British aristocrats.

The Riot Club quotes

  • Alistair Ryle: This bourgeois outrage when we do anything, say anything. Anything we ever build or achieve. Anything with the slightest whiff of magnificence. How did they get everywhere? How did they make everything so fucking second-rate? Them thinking they're better because there's more of them! That's not sweat on their palms, it's envy. It's resentment! And it stinks like a fucking drain! I'm sick to fucking death of poor people!

  • George Balfour: Back to the trenches boys.
