I carnt believe my luck finding this movie! The first time I saw this I was on term break with my Mother and she took me to the movies to see this. At first I was angry because I was at a boarding school so similar, but as the story went along I was not only amazed at the acting but also the story. Aware of the privilege I received at the time but how would I be able to use that to help. The model was cast! To this day I still work in a health related industry, all because of a fantastic movie!

Just days after seeing this groundbreaking film in 1984, I walked into a news agents on the Kings Road in Chelsea and there before my eyes stood the utterly gorgeous Cary Elwes. I immediately blushed with attraction, whereby he unexpectedly yelled homophobic obscenities at me in front of everybody. I was so shocked and embarrassed by his verbal attack; I didn't say anything back to him. I went from being 5' 4" in height to feeling just 4" in that moment. I can still see how handsome he is or rather was back then, but in that attack, he forever burst the bubble of attraction I had for him.

He was young! Hopefully he wouldn't act that way today.

when I went to the theater to see the movie "Another Country" the first time, I fell really hard for Rupert E. Simply gorgeous. Gloops. I liked Colin Firth but he did not make the same impression on me, i was not crazy about his red hair, although I liked his acting skills. Above all, the story made such an impression in my brain. this was a period when stories of western world spies deserting to USSR started to come out in public. So much that for the first and only time in my life, I had the movie poster displayed at my place. I saw various movies with Rupert E after that; he was living in my country in France, but after a while, somehow, he changed, he was not the same any more. I also watched all the old movies with Colin Firth after that. But man, one day, came out Pride and Prejudice; every woman who had seen it knows what I am talking about " the famous wet shirt scene after the dive in the pound". This movie will be a masterpiece forever

Actually I have heard the fatuous expression "back in the day" before and my question was posed by way of provocation to underline how fatuous it is. Like many of these sloppy trendy expresions, it comes from the United States. . It is used by people who are incapable of writing exactly or unwilling to refer to a specific time. It is a lazy way of saying "some ill defined time in the past". The reason it strikes me as fatuous is that it refers to "the day" using the definite article,. However, what day is not specified, although a definite article denotes something specific. As your answer shows, "back in the day" may be interpreted in different ways: for you it is in this case when first shown in cinemas, for someone else it might be "when I was young" or "when I used to go and watch films" or a host of other possibilities. By the way, your use of the primary school level non word "duh" suggests that you are either American or under 15 years old or both..@@AnnabelleJARankin

I absolutely love this movie but the message about class, privilege and snobbery is bitter-sweet. See the scene at 10:41 - even the sherry comes in pecking-order sizes! The English class system ... if you're born into the right family you're set for life. You can't even buy into it (if you wanted to) because real old money won't give you the time of day if you don't have the correct ancestry, aunts and uncles. And our politicians all deny that they are out of touch with us but how can they be anything else when many of them came from this world.

Excellent film. Aside from its obvious themes, it showed British public schools having a training schedule for budding world leaders of the fascist kind. They start them off as youngsters who are terrified and hero worshipping. Later on they become slaves, they learn servility, subservience and submissiveness. When they get older, and they understand the system and what it can do for them, they become obsequious and practise sucking up while remaining “in their place” , learning the ropes. At the top of school they achieve greatness which, in the wrong hands (and they mostly are) allows them to pay back for all the taunts and fagging , and beating, they become bullies, tyrants, full of swagger, pomposity and entitlement. Even today, years after this was written , it aptly describes generations of Tory politicians.

In 2007 four firefighters were found £1000 each , suspended from work, for disturbing gay sex in public place. One of the firefighters was demoted as well. They were called out to a fire and after they had dealt with it, they heard some noises nearby, so they shone their torches on a bush, to find two men engaged in the act. If that were a heterosexual couple, the couple would have been charged with outraging public decency!!! Google this if you don't believe me.
