    The cruel story of the bottom youth. Not very British, very British.

    The sudden death, when I was caught off guard, pinched my heart tightly. Swift is the most gentle character in it. He respects life and knows how to get in touch with horses. In contrast, Alba is not only stubborn, but also cruel. But a story full of allegory, in the end, it must be presented as a tragedy, so that the audience can feel the director’s intentions. Although the reality is extremely cruel, it still shows us the rare gentleness of Alba.

The Selfish Giant quotes

  • Policeman: This is a formal interview under caution. Do you understand that, Fenton? Hey, do you understand?

    Arbor: Yeah.

    Policeman: A witness saw two youths burning railway or communications cable.

    Michelle 'Shelly' Fenton: That's nowt to do with him.

    Policeman: Cable theft is a very serious crime, Mrs. Fenton. Trespass on the railway is £1,000 fine.

    Arbor: I ain't been on railway.

    Policeman: Vandalism, endangering lives, maximum penalty of life imprisonment.

    Michelle 'Shelly' Fenton: He's just a kid. He ain't nicked no cable. You're looking at wrong place.

    Policeman: He is, as you say, Mrs. Fenton, a minor. There's unscrupulous people out there getting kids to do their dirty work so they don't get into trouble with the police themselves.
