What I want to say most is actually the two leading actors in the film. Colin Firth and Rupert Everett are both British actors that I admire very much. Although Rupert was only in his early 20s, his acting skills should not be underestimated. In fact, before the movie, this story was first adapted into a stage play, which was also a great success starring Rupert and Colin. It is said that Daniel Day-Lewis (the winner of the 2nd Oscar for Best Actor) and them in the same city scene, was "beaten" by Rupert decently. Two years after the great success of the stage play, the play was adapted into the current film version, starring Rupert and Colin, and Rupert became famous for this and became popular in the British film industry. (Gossip, this gentleman is indeed speechless in this film!) Colin felt a bit inferior to Rupert in all aspects, but it can also be said that he has shown his new edge. Looking at this 1984 movie, and reminiscing about his exquisite performance in "Single Man" now, I think I have seen him step by step, serious, down-to-earth, and continuous training in the past two decades. , The process of achieving such an achievement today.
BTW: Every time I talk about this movie, I think of the British film "Maurice", which is based on the same era, same classic, and also semi-autobiographical novel, and also starred by a powerful actor that I admire very much. However, "Maurice" can be completely regarded as a movie about love. It is not as political as "Another Country", so I recommend it here.
