British Hierarchy Thought by BJ's Diary of a Single

Alvina 2022-03-22 09:01:52

In BJ's Singles Diary 2, Darcy tells BJ that he wants his kids to go to EATEN instead of going to the school where the guys who sing about yellow submarines go. EATEN, translated as Eton College, is a private high school with a long history. It is the place where the British aristocrats studied in the early days, so its education quality is the best, but the price is also surprisingly expensive, and it is called a noble school. And "Yellow Submarine" is a Beatles record. The members of the Beatles were all working class. In particular, its core character, Lennon, was born in the British port city of Liverpool. He lost his father since childhood and was raised by his aunt. When he was a teenager, his mother died in a car accident. Although the Pioneers have always had the image of polite English gentlemen on stage, they actually represented the working class of humble origins. This is really ironic.

In fact, the United Kingdom has a strict hierarchical system, and this system has continued to this day. This hierarchy is deeply embedded in people's minds, and it is also reflected in various British-made films, music, and books.

    Not as good as the first...

    The director and screenwriter have changed. No wonder the temperament is different from the previous work, and the color music is not as good as that. The sequel exaggerates Bridge's laziness and unreasonableness, increasing the so-called drama conflict by weakening her IQ. Moreover, he sacrificed Mr. Darcy. Compared with the warm and charming of the first part, the second part is much more calm and restrained. At the beginning, he didn't even want to marry the hostess, which was almost chilling. Anyway, it sucks, don't watch

Bridget Jones: The Edge of Reason quotes

  • Bridget Jones: I read that you should never go out with someone if you can think of three reasons why you shouldn't.

    Mark Darcy: And can you think of three?

    Bridget Jones: Yes.

    Mark Darcy: Which are?

    Bridget Jones: First off, I embarrass you. I can't ski, I can't ride, I can't speak Latin , my legs only come up to here and yes I will always be just a little bit fat. And you, you fold your underpants before you go to bed!

    Mark Darcy: No, hang on! That-that can't be a reason.

    Bridget Jones: No, it's not a reason! But you're not perfect either! You look down your nose at absolutely everyone and you're incapable of doing anything spontaneous or potentially affectionate.

    [pause]

    Bridget Jones: It feels like you're waiting to find someone in the VIP room who's- who's so fantastic, just the way she is, that you don't need to fix her.

    Mark Darcy: Bridget, this is mad.

    Bridget Jones: And perhaps you thought you found her.

    [long pause]

    Bridget Jones: Do you *want* to marry me?

    [awkward silence]

    Mark Darcy: Look- I...

    Bridget Jones: You see, you can never muster the strength, to fight for me.

    [long silence. Mark opens his mouth and closes it again. Bridget walks out]

  • Bridget Jones: She's got legs up to here! My legs only come up to here!
