    I'm ancient enough to remember the original B&W movies from the 1950s with Alastair Sim as Miss Fritton. I kept asking my mom if we could move to England so I could go to St Trinian's. She was horrified. These updated versions are wonderful and so true to the spirit of the school. And nothing lifts your spirits like singing the school song.

    You know these aren't the first and second St. Trinians' movies but the sixth and seventh St. Trinians' movies? They started in the 1950s starting with The Belles Of St. Trinians and there were FIVE films through the 50s, 60s and 70s! Including Blue Murder At St. Trinians, Pure Hell Of St. Trinians and Wild Cats Of St. Trinians! All inspired by the cartoons of Ronald Searle that started in the 1940s.

    It's an ethnic slur for Roma & other travelling people here in the UK.
    I think they're using it here as synonymous with 'chav' (which, interestingly, probably comes from a Romani word for a child, chavi), which is basically a derogatory term for working class youths in sportwear etc. All the stereotypes.

    • @agenttheater5
      @agenttheater5 4 місяці тому +1

      makes sense Annabelle would say that having come from Cheltenham's ladies college - taking into account what the Headmistress said of them and what we saw of them. Even though Annabelle was bullied there she probably absorbed some of the snobbishness, even if it was as an attempt to fit in so she wouldn't get bullied (which clearly didn't work).

    It aged badly with Russel Brand and Tallullah Riley's involvement, but it's still a fun time if you can look past that.
    However, if you're brave and want to see more of the same kind of thing, then this wasn't the first St. Trinian's film. There's a film series which ran from 1954 to 1966, and the first time they tried rebooting was in 1980. There's 5 films in total before the 2007 one. They're older, obviously, and are different in all the ways that implies, but they very definitely all have the same DNA.

    I saw the first movie when it came out in theatres with my mum and cousin. So much fun. There was a bunch of girls a few years older than me sitting in the front rows who were enjoying the movie as much as us and when it came to the scene at the end when Geoffrey was in Camilla’s bed they all started squealing when the actors leaned in to kiss, lol. (This was 2007 thus “gay” stuff was a bit more gross and cringey then.) The music really did fit the vibe - I use to find the songs on UA-cam, turn it up and pretend I went to the school too 😂😅 Ah, good times. Quickly bought it and still put it on regularly.
    I didn’t know about the sequel until years after it had come out and I watched it with mum on UA-cam with truly crappy quality. I didn’t like it as much but I still had fun. Loved David Tennant then as well and he was the main reason why I enjoyed the sequel.
