If artists go back in their footsteps, they will not grow.
The kitchen sink is no longer a convenient symbol of social inequality and family stress in the UK.
In the 40 years since Obama took office, Britain has undergone irreversible changes.

Especially because actor Ray Winstone portrayed the brutal father image in these three characters).
There are traces of \"Lady, Lady\" and early Loach movies in \"magical land\" and \"under skin\", such as \"upward connection\" and \"family life \".

When we spoke at the Sundance Film Festival in January, winterbutton was reluctant to acknowledge the impact of specific realism on \"Wonderland\", which premiered in the United States.
\"I didn\'t consciously imitate the realism of the kitchen sink after 60,\" he said . \"
The film\'s core figure happened to be living in the parliament building in southern London, struggling financially.
I\'m more interested in exploring the emotional connection between people in a family that rarely meets, and while capturing the noise and excitement of London and trying to keep your head on the surface of the water, there are 7 million people around you who you don\'t know about their lives.
You sit next to the subway, live in an apartment next door to them and walk through them in the street, but you never thought there would be any connection with them.
On the surface, \"wonderland\" is like Mr. Loach\'s films --a \'\'Riff-

Said winterbutton.
\"But I don\'t think there is an objective way to say that one movie is real, and the other is not real.
Wonderland is a naturalist film in most respects.
One of the things I want to do in style is that there are moments in it where we not only look at the details, but also try to evoke how people feel about the inner life, desires and dreams of the characters.
That\'s why I use my time.

This is naked in their reality, but more than threedimensional.
\"I\'m trying to think about the emotional core of every shot,\" Ms. Li said.
Said Ramsey recently.
\"I want to get the details that trigger the memory.
A lot of people like James looking at Margaret Anne\'s scabs because it\'s sexy and reminds them of the time when they often have scabs on their knees.
Although \"ratcatcher\" looks and feels like real life, but any idea that it is a \"reality\" movie is made conscious and unconscious by the fact that it seems to run on two intersection planes of reality

It\'s not that his story about teenagers and young people who are emotionally or financially deprived does not apply universally. Mr.
