I went to a boarding school - Clayesmore - where the head of Music used to spank the boys with a naked hand on their bare buttocks (the only teacher who would not use a slipper nor allow the boys to keep their trousers on while being spanked).
The thing I hate about you Rowntree is the way you give Coca-Cola to your scum and your best teddy bear to Oxfam, and expect us to lick your frigid fingers for the rest of your frigid life.
@GameOfYears You probably know that Oxfam is a charity organization...Travis means that Rowntree makes little token gestures toward respectability, yet gives favors to his little pets, after whom he lusts...and then expects the boys to see him as some pillar of respectability and moral uprightness. It's a comment on Rowntree's hypocrisy.
What, no responses for a year! Coming as I do to this post as the third of my name (apparently), I say this is surely the finest moment in any British film ever. I exaggerate, of course and no doubt, but can you name a finer? (And where are you, MichaelTravises1 and 2?)
@MichaelTravis3 I want to get ahold of this DVD but I don't think I can get it in Australia, sadly. The very few scenes I have watched, it fits under the heading of "classic".
One of the most memorable moments of 'If....' and which launches the film from a new pad. Those who haven't seen it will have to watch it from here on!

@sandybeaches15 He is very handsome (This is coming from a straight guy.). More importantly though he's a great actor, and is in my opinion, the coolest anti-hero ever in A Clockwork Orange.
It's about a british boy, Mick Travis (Malcolm McDowell) who lives at a private school in England. Eventually he and his friends get so tired of the people running it there, that they decide to get revenge.. (dun dun dun..XD)
I think that's all I can say without spoiling it, lol.

when I was at primary school a master denigrated me after I spent hours writing a beautiful page in italics. I was naturallyu scared of him at the time, being 10, however, I have not forgotten his effrontery.
Yeah, nothing like having the bubble of self-regard, built up by meaningless token acts of generosity, thoroughly pricked by an honest bit of truth-telling. I did just that to someone a few years ago, and the other guy burst his boiler so totally as a result, I thought for a second he was going to physically assault me.
Pleas post at least the beating scene in the gym and the finale. Oh an I love the part with the girl in the cafe as well (where they behave like tigers, you know?). I wish you could just post the whole movie *sigh*
At Boarding School. So much like this. fml
