🐾 Arya's Approval
Right darlings, this is brilliant! Aldgate's analysis of British cinema's relationship with society is absolutely fascinating - watching how films like The Blue Lamp shaped public perception of police while The Loneliness of the Long Distance Runner captured working-class rebellion makes for gripping academic reading. His exploration of retro crime cinema shows how British filmmakers became obsessed with recreating historical scandals, creating this wonderful cycle of films examining the nation's darker moments. It's like having the ultimate guide to understanding British culture through its movies!
