The film is very detailed, which is the usual style of British films. Reading a lot of people's comments that BC is being held down by TH, I don't see it that way at all. TH's role was originally a rich and tense role, while BC played only a bystander recorder, or a restrained middle class. As long as two people appear at the same time, TH must be more eye-catching. But many of BC's little actions are very interesting and real, and it plays a young middle-class who is not deeply involved in the world in a very three-dimensional manner. From the beginning of going to charity just to earn some pocket money, to when TH went to his house, it was very real to imagine that TH might vacate his house during tea making and then rush to make tea and get burnt. My favorite is that he went to TH's house, first threw the sandwich under the bed, and then carefully licked the curry 'prisoner' with the tip of his tongue. By the way, the dark cuisine of the rot country is really. . . . . . Unforgettable.
Even the contemptuous demeanor that he pressed at the dinner table to ask TH why he was in prison for the first time is a very real middle-class attitude. You can give sympathy, you can make friends, you can help in the right situation, but you don't really care. And several times in the movie, BC said, TH came up with a very useful idea in solidarity with the two heads of the charity. BC played a young, inexperienced, a little passionate but inexperienced middle class very lively, not losing to TH at all.
There are a lot of places in the film worth thinking about. From several questions, what made Stuart what he is, what makes a man fall. There was one episode that really impressed me. BC asked TH, if you could change one thing, which one would you choose. TH's answer is that if he chooses, it means he puts all the blame on that, which doesn't make sense. But if he chooses, he wants it to be the day he discovers the violence. Several children bullied him, and his stepfather asked him to go out and get revenge, or beat him. He went out and discovered the benefits and power of violence ever since.
Then I remembered a story that I had read many times in magazines such as Reader or Youth Digest a long time ago, and it seemed to have appeared in the high school Chinese simulation questions. In America in the last century, where racism was rampant, a mother asked her black child to go out shopping at night, gave him a stick and said if anyone bullies you, hit back. In the article, it is told in a praised tone, that the child has learned courage and self-confidence.
But today, watching Stewart, I feel like this education is doing something wrong.
