Memories of "Loneliness of long-distance runners" A teenager living in the British Juvenile Reformatory School committed a crime of theft and was jailed for theft. however, his talent in long-distance running made him highly valued and awarded a medal. However, during the long and lonely training, he often recalled the misfortunes he had encountered before he was imprisoned. Living in this contradiction, he is more and more dissatisfied with society and full of resistance. Tony Richardson, once an enthusiast of the British "Free Film Movement", explores the rebellious psychology of young people with the technique of stream of consciousness. Loneliness of long-distance runners can be regarded as one of the representative masterpieces of the British "angry school".
