True. That's what makes it so frustrating - that you know the people deciding the way forward for our country were part of a similar group

Exactly. There are too many idiots slagging off this movie which makes me think that they're part of the elite themselves or idiot working/middle class Tories who don't realise that this selfish, ideological government is acting against their interests by punishing people who work but don't earn enough to make ends meet.

A fictional film that has a very strong and very obvious link to reality. The film may as well have been called 'The Renamed Bullingdon Club' since I doubt anyone with even a passing knowledge of the (thankfully no longer) Tory elite wouldn't see the similarities.

Fun fact: apparently Max Irons, Sam Caflin and Douglas Booth met with young men of this ilk when they were preparing for the film and were told that the situations in the film weren't far off from the kind of things that really go on at these club dinners. And ever since PigGate and the whole burning-£50-notes-in-front-of-homeless-people thing... Yeah, maybe people should have chosen to vote based on this film.

Someday I'm gonna make a movie then laugh watching people over-analyse it
