    British New Wave. The rebellion against the system seems to be a direct succession of foreign films, but it pays more attention to the depiction of objective reality and lacks romantic presentation. The difference from "The Prodigal Son" is that the image of "anti-hero" is more clearly expressed . If you want to beat them, you have to be one of them...

    Angry and directionless youth, there is probably no better time for cinema than the British New Wave. In fact, thinking of this ending, thinking that the protagonist will do this, because this game is not a microcosm of his life? All efforts, without exception, fall short, because no real success or hope is one's own. But even thinking about it, seeing such an ending is still extraordinarily lost and sad....

    The editing of the game part is very exciting, and the quick editing accurately describes the inner activities of the male protagonist. The rest is nothing too special. Besides, I don't know what's the point of his confrontation in this way, especially since he has always been quite submissive until he "woke up" after being accused by his friend after being...

    1. This is the first time you have seen a British "New Wave" movie, a movie made entirely from the consciousness of this young runner. For the character in the movie, no one really cares about him and communicates his thoughts with him. He talked and communicated with himself during running, and after completing his personal growth, he finally expressed his strong personal consciousness of not going to cross the line. 2. This work is based on the recommendation of DDL, the young man just died...

The Loneliness of the Long Distance Runner quotes

  • Brown, House Master: Well, you're a new boy in here, aren't you, Smith?

    Colin Smith: Yeah.

    Brown, House Master: Yeah. So am I. Two new boys in here, in a matter of speaking. Perhaps we can help one another.

  • [first lines]

    Colin Smith: Running was always a big thing in our family, specially running away from the police. It's hard to understand. All I know is that you've got to run, running without knowing why, through fields and woods. And the winning post's no end, even though the barmy crowds might be cheering themselves daft. That's what the loneliness of a long distance runner feels like.
