not bad

I've been wanting to watch it for a long time and finally found the download. It is a film that sincerely and smoothly explores the gray area of ​​people's hearts, and EWAN's role is complex and meaningful. However, I personally feel that the film is not surprising to audiences like me who are consciously familiar with similar complexities, and the so-called gray audiences who are not familiar with it and have no interest in it. In fact, how much is it necessary to watch this film?

So it's bound to be a relatively niche movie.

I really like the tone of the film, the lens, the slightly sad scenery... The river with a sense of life is very impressive.


EWAN plays such a lustful role, which shows his natural male (stud?) temperament, and his facial features are inexplicably refined, making him look extremely handsome~~
EMILY's figure is really ecstasy. Not much drama but a strong sense of presence.
TILDA is very good, so good that it is inseparable from the character, how can the hair be any less stylish...

Young Adam quotes

  • Joe Taylor: I think she went to a bridge fully dressed and stood there breathing the warm night air. And she took off her jacket and folded it neatly on the ground. And then she unbuttoned her blouse and undid her brassiere and let it drop down on top of the other clothes. And she'd unbutton her skirt and let it slip down over her hips. And then she'd unroll her stockings and hold them out so that they blew in the breeze like penance before she let them float off into the night. And she'd shiver and ask herself if she really wanted to go through with this, and she'd answer that question by kicking her clothes into the river. And hurriedly now she'd take off her garter and her knickers. And there'd she be, standing in her petticoat, thinking about whatever it was that brought her to this. And then with her petticoat billowing around her she'd drop into the water like a rose, float there for a moment, and be gone.

    Les Gault: What kind of woman would do that?

    Joe Taylor: Just an ordinary woman.

  • Joe Taylor: [after having sex with Ella] Are you sorry?

    Ella Gault: Fat lot of good that would do me.
