Blake's poem "And did those feet in ancient time"(from Milton: A Poem)
And did those feet in ancient time,
Walk upon Englands mountains green:
And was the holy Lamb of God,
On Englands pleasant pastures seen !
And did the Countenance Divine,
Shine forth upon our clouded hills ?
And was Jerusalem builded here,
Among these dark Satanic Mills ?
Bring me my Bow of burning gold;
Bring me my Arrows of desire:
Bring me my Spear: O clouds unfold:
Bring me my Chariot of fire !
I will not cease from Mental Fight,
Nor shall my Sword sleep in my hand:
Till we have built Jerusalem,
In Englands green & pleasant Land.

"Now, at first glance, this seems much like the rebellion against authority that we've traced through stories like The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn (1885), One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest (1962) (Grade: A+), etc., but the differences are more instructive than the similarities. First of all, the authority here is legitimate and the youngster is a genuine evil doer. The authority is easily avoidable if he merely obeys the minimal rules that every society requires, but he makes no bones about having been a criminal nor of his intention to continue a life of crime when he gets out. Since we're the honest citizens that hoodlums of his ilk prey upon, we don't really ever want him to get out. "

"One of the key "angry young man" films which helped define the British "Kitchen Sink Drama" style of the late 1950's and early 60's, this story centers on Colin Smith (Tom Courtenay), a bitter young man from a working-class family. Uninterested in school and determined not to follow his father into factory work, Colin and his friend Mike (James Bolam) make their pocket money through petty crime, until they're arrested after the robbery of a baker's shop and sentenced to Borstal (British reform school). The Governor of the school (Michael Redgrave) takes a keen interest in Colin, but he cares less for his rehabilitation than his gifts as a broken-field runner; Colin finds himself torn between the need to please his captors and his determination not to play along with what he sees as a corrupt system. The Loneliness Of The Long Distance Runner was the first film for Courtenay, whose performance earned him the "Most Promising Newcomer" prize at the 1962 British Film Academy awards. "
