The Loneliness of the Long-distance Runner

Memories that cannot be run away - "The Loneliness of the Long-Distance Runner" A young man living in a British juvenile reformatory was convicted of crime and was imprisoned for theft. However, his talent in long-distance running made him highly valued and he even won a medal. However, during the long and lonely training, he often recalled the misfortunes he encountered before being imprisoned. Living in this contradiction, he became increasingly dissatisfied with society and full of resistance. Tony Richardson, who was once an enthusiastic member of the British "Free Film Movement", used a stream of consciousness technique to explore the rebellious psychology of young people. "The Loneliness of the Long Distance Runner" can be regarded as one of the representative masterpieces of the British "angry faction".
