Arthur angrily threw stones at the rows of houses below the horizon, his girlfriend asked him why he did it, maybe there was a house there in the future, Arthur said I don't know, it won't be the last one I throw . After speaking, the two walked hand in hand to the distant horizon. In the future, they will live in one of the houses and not be so angry anymore.

However, at this time, the 1.5-hour video took the trouble to show Arthur's work, life, love, friendship, and entertainment in detail. There was no narrative core, no clear theme, and no closed causal plot chain. Angry Youth", an existential youth figure common in the New Wave images of the 1960s. He acts nonsense, is cynical, at a loss, gets along, has a strong free will, and despises law, morality, ethics, order, etiquette, and manners, but no matter how much he messes up, he can't always get relief, and he doesn't know who he is fighting against.

Everything was so beautiful, Arthur opened the curtains on the second floor, and saw his beautiful girlfriend walking slim, youth is without fear.

The British New Wave is much more friendly to the audience than the French New Wave. Although it is also a stream of life, it does not excessively pursue alienation, nor does it intersperse events that are very irrelevant to the theme. It always revolves around Arthur's subjective point of view Obscure.

Let me talk about a place related to the plot: this is the first time I saw someone cheating on someone so righteously, such a cowardly first match, who I didn’t know thought that the first match was sorry for Arthur, and the angry young man was confused and confused at the same time, did he also feel sorry for himself? A set too confident? So isn't what they advocate another kind of oppression? So, sometimes watching these kinds of youth films is a bit like watching a gangster film, which is to record how those irrational people grew up and acted in those days. They are also a piece of the puzzle of the times. , it does not involve any social significance, reality criticism and the like.
