The scene is limited to a few indoor confined spaces, and there are still shadows of the stage play. However, the director cleverly uses the photography technology of the Steadicam lens to closely follow the action trajectory of the character and accurately capture the protagonist's facial state, thus fully breaking the character. The interdependent relationship with space expands the originally cramped spatial relationship to the relationship between characters and society. This skinhead youth is not much different from the image in the traditional theme: hot-tempered, arrogant, arrogant, the only difference is that he is not stupid. From his reading of job advertisements for job seekers at the job center, and his confrontation with the instructor in the confinement room, it can be seen that he is not lacking in education. His thinking is quick and clear, which is completely different from the image of the brainless angry youth that has been portrayed for a long time. The director obviously used this role to express a clear critical attitude towards the British government at that time, and vigorously criticized the behavior of ideological control and deprivation of personality. Although this extreme leftist ideological proposition is suspected of being too extreme, there are indeed many thought-provoking contents in the dialogue lines of the film. It seems that schools are not just places to learn knowledge, but are more likely to be used by the government to control the minds of young people; will it be possible to eliminate violent crime in society by blindly requiring young people who have misbehaved to return to school? Are people who have not gone to school and received an education necessarily destined to live in poverty, steal, and end up spending the rest of their lives in prison? It is not so much that the government instills a seemingly correct and beneficial concept in the youth, it is more that it is disguised to obliterate other ways of life, although this approach is absolutely correct in terms of stabilizing the social environment and moral considerations. Everyone can be educated to become obedient and obedient, but this kind and docile face is most likely the result of human manipulation/political factors. This is absolutely terrifying. I didn't expect a director to have this foresight as early as the 1980s.
