The Riot Club, what a movie. During so many moments it was disgusting and annoying for so many reasons. The main one: knowing that a part of the English culture, which I generally love and admire, it is like that. Elitist and classist. It is common knowledge that the current prime minister, and most of the people around him, attended the same college and were members of this kind of clubs – maybe not that hardcore things happened, but the spirit was the same.
But I don’t need to go that far to find situations that make me feel like this. Just around me I can already find young colleagues that decide to spend their money getting wasted and destroying others properties just because they can. They might not be that classy or rich, but they still show that lack of respect for other’s effort, for public property, and they think that money can buy or fix just anything.
It makes me sad because I am a young student as well, and I love to go partying and have fun. But I also have this sense of respect towards my parents giving me this chance, and I feel I have to use this opportunity responsibly. I am also aware that I am a lucky person, because I did nothing special to deserve this freedom of studying out from my hometown or having a comfortable economical situation, and this precisely makes me work harder, be grateful and showing huuuuge respect for those ones who weren’t that lucky as I am and are still doing great.
This being said, it is a great movin that I totally recommend because precisely rises awareness against classisim.
