The main story is set in a British Military Intelligence Office in Whitehall during 1956, where a small group of foreign affairs analysts find their quiet existence disrupted by the Suez Crisis. Ewan McGregor plays Mick Hopper, who is doing his national service as an interpreter of Russian documents. Bored with his job, Hopper spends his days creating fantasy daydreams that involve his work colleagues breaking into contemporary hit songs. Louise Germaine plays Sylvia Berry, the blonde wife of the violent Corporal Pete Berry (Douglas Henshall). Sylvia is an object of desire for Mick's fellow clerk Private Francis Francis and a middle-aged pipe-organist named Harold Atterbow (Roy Hudd). Unlike the street-wise Hopper, Francis is a clumsy Welsh intellectual whose academic career has been interrupted by his army call up. The appearance of the bookish niece of a seconded American officer enables the two conscripts to pair off with suitable partners, after initial mismatching. Some of the side themes include the influence of American rock and roll on English society, the gulf between the senior analysts, who are regular army officers, and the conscripted other ranks, the work of Russian playwright Chekhov, and the appreciation of opulent theatre pipe organs. The unusual context — a military culture transplanted into a civil service style office environment — reflects Potter's own national service during the 1950s. While this piece has the form of a romantic comedy, unlike the less conventional works of Dennis Potter's middle period, it is not without graphic sex and violence, as well as Potter's characteristic flashes of dreamlike imagery. The centrepiece of this production is the surreal musical sequence set to the song In a Persian Market.
连续看了几部“高分推荐”的印度神片，发现都是套路。其中之一就是一定要反转，尤其喜欢结尾反转，而且还要反转再反转。#疲乏#。另外这片电影长度如果能缩减到90或者120分钟会更好。电影过长，要批判的内容又那么多，观众没这么多#耐心#。
一口气杂糅一堆社会现实，强行反转，印度演员表演上都用力过度
题材很讨喜，但问题在于似乎太过执着于情节上的设计导致整部电影并不是那么流畅。故事性上塞得太满，导演和编剧应该学会做减法。/问题真的不能忍，但多一星给法庭上的调度，and女老师发声那段真的太飒了
一个国家的尊严等同于它给女性的尊严。
印度电影真的是越来越好。几次反转让人眼前一亮，还有深一层对种姓，政治，媒体的抨击。
半小时弃。其实不怎么样，镜头、表演本身就乏善可陈，叙事更是没头没脑，从开头的抒情到校长的讲话再到受害者向学生发表的空洞务虚的说教，再到学生们发动抗议活动，来龙去脉、矛盾冲突何在，全都交代不清。
又一神片，呵呵。
5.最脏最黑的永远是政治家，最根源的腐败是种姓制度
配乐和节奏不大好。但主旨很棒。看到了很多相似的影子
btw,此片是没有歌舞表演的印度电影，只有几段烘托情感的歌曲。
对于糟糕的技术，我觉得7.5分是上线，最反感拖沓冗长，自说自话。
每次看这种题材的印度电影都只有一个感觉：印度这个国家还有救。
一个国家的尊严等于它给女性的尊严！！！
结论说的是唯有在这么棒棒哒的体质下，普通人才有机会干趴下手眼通天的大坏蛋，才能伸张正义，才有能力还人世间一个公道。
用了这么长的时长还讲不好故事不是烂片是什么？豆瓣对印度片真是一贯的宽容，只要题材好，拍成什么烂样子都要捧上天，问就是别人敢拍，那直接看新闻不好？
一开始以为又是一部女权，看到后面才知道升级到了对愚民政治的嘲讽，不过关键转折还是要靠副督察良心发现才能完成，实际可能性很低，看来任何体质都是一样黑暗的，学生永远都是最有革命热情，也最容易被鼓动的群体。
校园腐败，司法腐败，政府腐败，
不知我们何时可以有这种自信。
几次反转在翻新剧情的同时也带来了新的社会反思。原本以为庭前质问是思索程序正义与事实正义的区别，但或许是因为「可能的结果」抵不住群众「愤怒的情绪」，所以索性一下子写成事实。舆论操控、女性平权、教育腐败、被控制的愤怒，故事一步一步影射着更多的社会问题。两段式的结构使得观众前期被煽动的同情与愤怒在后期得知真相后得到了更进一步的爆发。希望这种情绪的铺垫能多带来一些观后的思考。
音乐加的天花乱坠 硬是凑出了一种史诗感 和律师在法庭上引证的那么多案例一样 想表达的太多了 后面律师的线太牵强了
