i just read the posts about british boarding school for the elite. do you think any films came out of the experience these kids had there? just curious.

absolutely! though surprisingly little, as far as i know. makes sense i guess for the conformity of it all. i've tried to collect some that go into the abusive and forced conformist situations and aren't just nostalgia:

the most famous and damning is probably if.... from 1968, screenplay by david sherwin and john howlett who both went to tonbridge school. i thought it has its lengths but is overall a really great watch...

another country is firmly the same, corporal punishment, elite, room and board... writer julian mitchell went to winchester college, plus it's based on the cambridge five anyway

the history boys was adapted for the screen and though it's about a grammar school without boarding and past the age of corporal punishment being legal, it's very much in that spirit— some people find the nostalgic, forgiving light it shines on sexual harrasser teacher hector very very distasteful but i honestly think it's damningly par for the course for that genre; if you read the whole article you'll know it's practically mandatory for tory public school boys to stay friends with their abusers later in life lol

the rainbow (ken russell's adaptation of the d.h. lawrence novel) is one of the only examples of something like this i can think of with girls (not a boarding school either), i really really like this movie but i think most other people don't 😭 it has some really bad acting in it and the tone is crazy but i love it...

the other example i have is jane eyre's early years, i think susanna white's bbc miniseries adaptation from 2006 is great

i asked my friend cate who has encyclopedic knowledge of uk cinema and she also suggested good and bad at games (1983) which sounds exactly right and i'm excited to see it, as well as the military academy-set soveireign's company which was alan clarke's first big shocker. merry christmas mr lawrence also has a pivotal flashback scene to public school abuse.

those are all i can think of that kind of fit into the category i wanted to list here but there's a super rich vein of satire or drama very directly about the british upper class that evoke all this as an implied background; the ruling class, lawrence of arabia, my favie tv show bbc the hour, the tv adaptation of the line of beauty which i'm currently reading 😚, nothing but the best 1964 ("isnt set in public school but has denholm elliot schooling alan bates in its ways for crime and subliminal bisexuality" - cate), maurice, even brideshead revisited and decline and fall lol

Need help finding a post

Hello, all! I’d really appreciate some help in finding a particular piece of art that I can’t seem to find anymore. It was a piece done in the style of that one JoJo’s Bizarre Adventure meme (see above), and it was depicting Jon and Peter in the lonely in MAG 159.

Any ideas? Thanks for any help in advance :)
