The background of this film is based on Paris student movement. However, the story of film happened in
the UK by 1968. While, the early British boarding
system has been criticized
by this film in extent.
British boarder
system was criticized by this film, which introduced pretense, violence and
prejudice in English school. The students from higher grade with violence
bullied the young students from lower grade, while, young students resisted
hegemony and students from higher grade.
Although I do not
know much about British history, I can understand the reason from researching
with Internet. The film reflects an idea that people with background of bygone
era challenged to the authority. Reason of that is self-evident that this movie
director wanted to reflect the circumstances and make more people understand
the history.
The language of
camera, structure and color of screen were focused by me due to the fact that I
studied new media art when I was in the university in China. Fundamental of this film were darker, by which director
wanted to produce some complex emotion and humanity. However, some colorful pictures
crossed with the black and white picture from this film, which brought a sense
of oppressive.
Not only was development of plot very
compact, but also actors perform well. I think good editing is the soul of the
movie and I like this film of style.
