This film tells the story of two freshmen at Oxford University, who are invited to join the exclusive club called The Riot Club.
I have to say this film surpasses every bit of my expectations. From the story, acting, sets and the messages behind the film, everything absorbs me and engrossed me. It shocks me deeply, and provokes much thought about the discrepancy between the world of the young elites and the general public's perception of them.
The story quickly builds towards trouble, and I already had a feeling that the dinner will end badly towards the middle of the film. Even though what the club members did was not socially acceptable, even after taking into account their state of intoxication. However, what shocks me isn't their mere irresponsible, disrespectful and even lawless behaviour. It doesn't shock me that they could get away with it because they have power and money. What shocked me is that they can have no remorse, and are still expected to have a superbly bright future. As they say, they aren't the sort of people who make mistakes. It's such a along chilling statement.
It pains me to see the bar owner having to take such a misfortune. He is shown to be honest, hardworking, and treats his guests with much respect. He can be likened to the commoners, having to take whatever misfortune the rich descends upon them.
"The Riot Club" is not just a film about drunken young adults. It is really about class struggle and societal oppression. It is a must watch. I'm still in a daze an hour after watching it, shocked by the events portrayed in it.
