    Looking at it now, the criticism of the school's stereotyped education is undoubtedly a little weak, and it is not enjoyable to watch. Even if there is the last shot, it is always an illusion. However, the switching of black and white color and the flash of surrealism still give the film a lot of agility. And "A Clockwork Orange" is also...

    Revisit! Anderson constructs a sophisticated allegory of reality, a reflection on the turbulent student movement of 1968, the rigid hierarchy and outdated educational ideals in boarding schools that make the ideal of equality/freedom nowhere to be found, reflection on violent movements, smoking and drinking. Contrasted with stereotypes, Guevara Mao's portrait and old oil paintings, the casual black and white insertion creates a distorted irony effect, if war can really save the...

    8.8/10. ①Suppressed daily life and subsequent rebellious resistance of students in a rigid and rigid educational environment. ②The first part of the film creates a restrained and detached image through trivial narration, Brecht-like performances, irregularly switching black and white and color images, and chapter-by-chapter story structure with narrative jumps. This image combines the content of the story. Created a depressing atmosphere. ③ Through the contrast between the restrained...

    A continuation of the angry youth movie. What is the alienation effect? After watching this film, even if I can't say why, I can at least have an intuitive feeling. It feels like this style can make the audience feel...

    A good college-themed movie that ends with a school shooting. The director handles the music (the only theme song) and some of the psychedelic techniques of the plot very well. Malcolm once again interprets the rebellious youth very authentically after Clockwork...

    May Storm’s Rebellious Passion in 1968

    Around 1968, young people in many countries around the world were caught up in radical and rebellious fanatical movements: Prague Spring in the Czech Republic, the May Storm in Paris in France, the American Student Movement, etc. They went on strike and went to the streets to vent their resistance....

    "If...", a storm we have never seen before

    There is a book called "Revolution! "The Big Bang of the 1960s", in my opinion, the 1960s is indeed the most glorious 10 years in the history of film. Nearly half of my favorite films are in this decade.

           There are not many works by Lindsay Anderson, but he is very famous. "If..." took the...
