There are no special effects and no big names. This film is still the director's debut. It seems that the basic model of a successful commercial film does not exist, but this film has been the most classic British film and noir film from 1998 to the present, because the film has a Sophisticated plot.
Regardless of an investment strategy, a marketing idea, or even the successful launch of a movie or novel, it all depends on how to hit the customer's heart. And this film was produced at a time when the British government's status in the international environment declined, the Gulf War ended and Saddam's regime was suspected of developing a big killer. At the same time, the domestic political environment in the UK was also under unprecedented impact. The Conservative Party suffered a disastrous defeat in the May 1997 general election, winning only 165 of the 659 seats. The new situation in party politics in the UK mainly reflects voters' disgust with the traditional political model and their desire for reform, as well as their disappointment and tiredness with the British government.
This movie is a dark humorous story that reflects the little diaosi at the bottom of the society who want to make money, want to pick up girls, and want to become handsome and rich.
(Of course, what I have to say is the taste of British boys. Even male diaosi are handsome British diaosi. Tsk tsk!)
