At this time, the film has been very "industrialized" from the lens, the entire composition is a system, and the artistic conception and connotation to be expressed are very clear and mature. The background and characteristics are the same as other representative works of the British Free Film Movement. The realist images are representative, the stories all take place in an industrial city, and black and white film is deliberately selected. The protagonist is set very "decadent", which is contrary to the youth expected by society. He represented what was then called "angry youth". (That is, the "Beat Generation" in the United States, the New Wave in France) This "Saturday Night and Sunday Morning" probably reflects the "real" living conditions of the British and even European and American youths in that era. Young people work from Monday to Friday, go to bars on Saturdays and Sundays, dance parties and exhibitions to play and relax. (It seems to be similar to the current 996 to a certain extent.)
The hero Arthur can be said to be a "scumbag", he is morally wrong, messing with married women, and humiliating the fat neighbor, calling her a "fat cow". But he is not bad. He will give part of the money he earns in the factory to his parents every week. Although he has a patriarchal ideology, he does not want to get married, and thinks that it is easy to have children, etc. But being willing to listen to Brenda's thoughts and suggesting that it would help her is also really anxious. (I don't know why I have this idea, am I being puaed, and I think it's a miracle that a man doesn't run away without wearing a condom?)
But it's normal to get hit later. Walking along the river all the year round, how can there be no wet shoes? There are also obvious foreshadowing in the front.
It can only be said that it is a real image/miniature of the youth of that era. How should I look at this society when my parents have experienced wars and are in the stage of stable life and reflection, and how should I view this society?
Alas, this question, don't say that their generation does not know, they are very confused. This phenomenon seems to exist in any generation, who knows what to do? We are also growing in exploration. There is no time to figure it out. When we figure it out, we may have already married and have children and are no longer young. Time can't wait for us to summarize the rules!
The world keeps spinning and changing.
