crossroads of youth

Elouise 2022-03-26 08:01:01

Three young British townspeople born into working-class families are unsure about their future, unwilling to follow the path of their fathers. After a series of balabala ideological struggles, he finally decided to give up everything and set off to see the wider world from afar. A movie about youth like this will see its own shadow to some extent, a young and frivolous heart in a plain life.
Julie's dad hasn't said thank you to his wife for bringing him tea and water for nine years, and Freddie Jolie probably wouldn't have found out that his fiancé was reacting exactly like his dad's. This subtle action instantly strengthened the determination to escape with Freddie, even if he was old Zhuhuang in the future, he would not regret the courageous impulse to take the train with his lover to the distance.
In the carnival before the trip, Bruce "overdid it" again. Blues dancing with a black woman in a nightclub is skinny, with flared trousers and chunky belts that's the decadent beauty of the '70s. In the end, he punched the "racist" man "again" into the police station. Through the sheriff's "education", he regained the warmth of his father's love.
Freddie and Julie looked at the pictures on the wall that Julie's cousin had sent to landscapes around the world, and suddenly realized how big the world was. Recently, I have also been reading various travel essays. The real travel is not just to go to nearby places, but to aimlessly go to the distance to find that undiscovered self. Starting from the intersection of the cemetery and seeing the world, this is a starting point and an end point.

    It's not the kind of thorough joy, but it's also filled with a lot of awareness brought by the hard work of small people, and get to know the British town of the 1970s in a relaxed atmosphere.

    A film about friendship, growth, life and ideals. Plain but fun. Quite inspirational. The male protagonist's father and grandmother bickering is also very interesting.

Cemetery Junction quotes

  • Mr. Taylor: [to Freddie] You've got no respect, and I've told you about it a hundred times. I know why you're doing it now, because he wears a suit, he thinks he's better than his dad. Well, that don't mean nothin' mate, and one day he's gonna come down to work at the department and he's gonna realize he's just like the rest of us.

    Freddie's Gran: You listen to your father, he knows what he's talking about. You'll never amount to anything.

    Mr. Taylor: Exactly.

    Freddie's Gran: Because he never amounted to anything.

    Mr. Taylor: What'chu mean, I never amounted to anything?

    Freddie's Gran: You know what I mean.

    Mr. Taylor: I don't know what you mean, I've got two jobs.

  • Freddie Taylor: [about graffiti] You do the cocks, you do the tits, I'll do something with my life.
