The first half is when the child finds a partner and a sense of belonging. A group of likely lads play in the wasteland of England, carefree happy time, think of old Burns songs, sunset, weeds, broken theaters, crumbling houses, desolate beaches, and they like it very much.
Gradually into the heavy, although many people expressed that they like the author's objective attitude, without moral presuppositions, they truly contact the thoughts and thoughts of skinhead and its extremists, and from their perspective, tell the source and result of racism. For some reason, I still feel a little preachy, especially the flag throwing in the last scene.
It doesn't matter if it's not heavy, there's always a tension around them, and the stronger the belief, the more tense swords are drawn in the air, engulfing friends and lovers. No matter how happy the moment is, someone dies the next second.
So in the last heavy scene, the scene where the little protagonist stares at the camera is very similar to Tarkovsky's little Ivan, the child who had to learn to kill in the war, leaving behind a heart-wrenching ferocity for future generations eyes. This is a tribute to the master.
Some people say that the achievement of this film can be compared with that of Trainspotting, and some say that it is okay, but it is almost as good as Trainspotting. Trainspotting is a masterpiece.
Very interesting, a matter of opinion. I think Bibi is also very interesting at the beginning and end of the film. There is a news clip at the beginning and end of the film. There are Princess Diana, Iron Lady Thatcher, and the war with Argentina is the main political and social background of the film. It feels like the tone is set quite high.
The beginning and end of Trainspotting is the classic monologue, which echoes the beginning and the end, and is quite flavorful. The opening line says: Choose a job, choose a career, Choose a life...I choose not to choose life. Putting on a suit to go to work seems to mean So I choose a job, choose a career, choose a life, choose to be like you.
I prefer Trainspotting, but both are good, British style.
