00:00Statistics show that Olympic medalists follow three rules when preparing for their competitions.
00:08Get enough sleep
00:13Meticulous preparation and avoid distractions at all costs
00:30To centuries Nobel Prize winners heads of state writers and scientists have been educated here soon. I could be one of them
00:55My future awaits behind these walls. I've been waiting for this day for years. Finally, it is here
01:11Hey
01:13Hi
01:15Um, this is... Jude. Ruby. Hi
01:19Hi. Hi. Lynn, hi
01:25I'm sorry, but don't fudge this up. As if you could puke in Professor Muller's bin and he still beg you to come
01:49Didn't your mum have a class with him? Apparently you do actually have to put in some work to earn your place
01:54Yeah, won't be easy. Let's go
02:00Prepared? Yeah, we'll go in get our offers and then we're done easy as that
02:15For those I haven't met yet, I am Jude
02:17I'm a second year in St Hilda's College here at Oxford and I'll accompany you through the entire application process in the first interview all the professors want to test
02:25Your critical thinking and see how well you can develop a position on a topic in the second one
02:30They want to see how you work under stress and if you crumble then in the third and final interview
02:34It's all about you to see if you really fit in here Oxford out of all three
02:38This is the big one the first round of interview starts in 45 minutes. That means you have plenty of time to go through your notes
02:45Maybe have a bite to eat. You're nervous, but you've made it this far. That means Oxford wants you
02:50The only thing you must make sure to do is stay out your own way. I'll call your name all good
03:08Oh
03:38Ruby Bowne, St. Elders.
04:06Good luck.
04:09Hey. No need for nerves. You'll be fine.
04:30Were you not nervous?
04:32Nervous? About ten times more than you. And they accepted me anyway.
04:37I'll see you later.
04:44Miss Bell, so glad you accepted our invitation.
04:50Thank you. It's my pleasure.
04:52Miss Bell, so glad you accepted our invitation.
05:06Thank you. It's my pleasure.
05:08Super. Then let's carry on.
05:10For a couple of years now, the New York Times has published an opinion piece which claimed that the British monarchy was a wasteful anachronism.
05:18Can our system exist in its duality? Can the monarchy and parliamentary democracy continue side by side? Or do you think we should become a republic?
05:30I believe the question can be approached from either side. On the one hand, one could argue that the monarchy offers stability, at least symbolically. On the other hand, the amount of money spent financing this individual institution must be called into question. And bearing in mind that other countries worldwide are clearly striving without it.
05:48Please do carry on.
05:50The market is based on speculation. On the fact that the future is not very reliable, as we know. We wish it were. So profit is generated in the here and now. And a business with a successful model makes use of this to improve turnover.
06:02Thank you, Mr. Beaufort. The apple doesn't fall far from the tree.
06:07I remember your father was top of his class at Balliol. He was lighted ahead of everyone with his knowledge and ambition.
06:20How did it go? You say first.
06:22I think it went pretty well. It was amazing having so many things to discuss. Plato came up and Moliere.
06:27At least they didn't give you mean stares. The professor in my interview had such a bushy monobrow that he spent the whole time looking like an angry Mr. Beau.
06:33I just couldn't stop looking at it. He must have been aware.
06:36No.
06:37Hey. How did the first round go? All good?
06:40Good. Yeah.
06:41I'd say you could both benefit from a little downtime. Tonight, eh? Oxford style?
06:46Yeah.
06:47I present to you the world famous Turf Tavern. A pub frequented among others by the lovely Liz, Oscar and the Iron Lady who became the UK's Prime Minister.
07:06There's some seats over there. Come on.
07:22Who do we have here? Looks like they're getting on well.
07:25I can't hear you all. It's back up to mine, up to mine. I can't hear you, man. It's back up to mine, up to mine.
07:32And here it is. Speciality of the house and an absolute must for every Oxford visitor. Thanks.
07:39Cross keys.
07:41I've got the same after today. Someone suggested I drank water instead.
07:45Here. Try this one. Whisky. It's 18 years old.
07:51What's up?
07:52I'm sorry.
08:02Here's something like that. The barkeepers are made to agree not to share anything they see when they start working here.
08:07Is that for real?
08:10First time I tried it, that's exactly the same face I made.
08:12And at the end of the evening, I ran back to campus, singing, falling over, and all half-naked.
08:16Okay, I'll skip that experience if that's possible.
08:18And we'll save it for when you're a student here full-time.
08:20Cheers.
08:44Well?
08:46Yeah, but good.
08:50I'm going to get some fresh air. Can I have my bag?
09:05Ow.
09:06Hey, man. You've been too obvious.
09:08Look who's talking.
09:13Look who's talking.
09:14Are you okay?
09:15I hope that's a rhetorical question.
09:31Are you okay?
09:40I hope that's a rhetorical question.
09:49Are you nervous about the interviews?
09:52Doesn't matter about the interview result.
09:54There's nowhere I can go to Oxford now.
09:58What do you mean?
10:02You've beaten me this year for top marks in our class twice already.
10:09If you need something for your period...
10:11I don't have a period at the moment.
10:24Is it, um...
10:25I know, it's crazy to think about.
10:26I've never been in love with anyone like I am with him.
10:37With the baby too.
10:40Got to love hormones.
10:41There's great programs for mothers at Oxford.
10:45I read about them when I was finding out about scholarships.
10:50Jacinda Arden became a mother while she was running a whole country.
10:52I know we don't know each other.
11:01But I saw you at school all the time.
11:03How you persevered whilst everything was going on.
11:08Lydia, if there is anybody I know who can do it, it's you.
11:11It's you.
11:11It's becoming clear why my brother can't get over you.
11:29You make it seem like everything is possible.
11:31No matter what a shitty illusion that is.
11:35What did he say to you?
11:40Tell me it's not obvious he's suffering.
11:45He was the one that left me.
11:48Sometimes the greatest testament to love is to let someone go.
11:50You're scared, because I am too.
11:58Fear in my head is being there for too long.
12:03Fear in my head is being there for too long.
12:33Fear in my head is being there for too long.
12:34Fear in my head is being there for too long.
12:35Fear in my head is being there for too long.
12:36Fear in my head is being there for too long.
12:37Fear in my head is being there for too long.
12:38Fear in my head is being there for too long.
12:39Fear in my head is being there for too long.
12:40Fear in my head is being there for too long.
12:41Fear in my head is being there for too long.
12:42Fear in my head is being there for too long.
12:43Fear in my head is being there for too long.
12:44Fear in my head is being there for too long.
12:45Fear in my head is being there for too long.
12:46Fear in my head is being there for too long.
12:47Fear in my head is being there for too long.
12:48Fear in my head is being there for too long.
12:49Fear in my head is being there for too long.
12:50Ooh
12:56There's somebody who wore to this place I spent out the middle
13:03I'll be coming back
13:07I'll be coming back
13:33My Olympic score after one day in Oxford
13:36Sleep, zero
13:38Distraction, ten
13:39Great score, Ruby Bell
13:46You're perfect, there's nothing to worry about
13:48You'll be superb
13:49How many people are in this room?
14:05How many people are in this room?
14:10If we take direct perception as a discussion starting point, as in Gibson's model, I would say that I perceive two entities in the room other than myself. And so, the answer I would like to give is three.
14:25The error is normal. How many people are in this room? Try again.
14:30Hey!
14:34Are you okay?
14:37Hey.
14:50You okay?
14:53Uh, it seemed like you weren't okay.
14:56It's all good.
14:57I just wasn't in the mood to party.
14:59It's just all the stress.
15:01I'll be so relieved when it's all over.
15:03You know, when we can pick up where we left off, hmm?
15:06Back at home?
15:07And enjoy this last year of freedom.
15:09I guess we don't know how lucky we are at Maxon Hall.
15:13We're all just working ourselves to get here for what?
15:15Just sit around for more and learn.
15:19Why is it just a morning?
15:21Let's do it.
15:24Hey, dear.
15:28What did you say?
15:30I was talking about being back home where everything's normal.
15:34At least for another year.
15:36What?
15:38Does change always have to be something bad?
15:43Probably depends on the change, I guess.
15:44How did the interview go today?
16:05I think I can safely say I blew it.
16:08I shouldn't have got so drunk yesterday.
16:10Did you know that freesia symbolized trust?
16:20You know that I...
16:21I thought with Keshe I'd do that.
16:24That whole backing off then.
16:26He would have enough headspace to make his mind up and decide if he wanted it.
16:30Instead, he's trying to conform to the views of everyone else and especially his parents.
16:34Messing with Camille.
16:35Bill, I don't understand that.
16:36It's as if he has no idea how to treat others, let alone himself.
16:41And...
16:42And so all I can think is that I just should never have let him go.
16:48For fuck's sake, I just shouldn't have let him go.
16:52But I suppose you had no choice.
16:54Yeah, it's a simple fact.
16:58It's fight for something or give up.
17:00You always have a choice.
17:01I just don't get why people are so scared shitless of being their true selves.
17:05I'm going to hide in the last row and sleep off my hangover.
17:23I'm going to hide in the last row and sleep off my hangover.
17:27Sorry, were you going to sit in?
17:45No, it's fine.
17:46Okay, welcome along to the students' question and answer session.
18:04I got some of my classmates to come here by lying to them about there being snacks and drinks involved.
18:09Most of them are now feeling incredibly hungry and terribly betrayed.
18:11But I hope they will still answer some of your questions.
18:15Let's go.
18:16How strenuous is the coursework here, really?
18:20Do you still have time for a personal life?
18:22Neela?
18:22Well, I would say that compared to other unis, it's certainly more intensive.
18:26So, yeah, there's still time for a personal life.
18:28Don't worry.
18:29But that bit's up to you.
18:33Any more questions?
18:34Do you have a lot of contact with the students in the other colleges in Oxford?
18:38Or is the day-to-day routine very separate?
18:40I just want to know if I have to say goodbye to the bestest friend I could hope to meet.
18:43It's true.
18:44So, the colleges are usually quite independent.
18:47So, if you've got two students, but one is at Balliol, for example, and the other one is here at St. Hilda's studying, they might not interact that often.
18:54Sure.
18:55Balliol is Oxford's elite college.
18:56Yeah, that's an example of what someone from Balliol would say.
19:00Many thanks.
19:01Anybody want to follow that?
19:02What's your average score?
19:04So what?
19:04I'm just asking to make sure you're competent to prepare us to study here at Oxford before I sign up.
19:09Let's hear from applicants better informed.
19:13They're the questions I want to hear instead of wasting time with your unqualified comments and unnecessary contributions.
19:17What's your problem?
19:18I just think how scary it is.
19:20How little time it's taken for you to sound like him.
19:21Like who?
19:22Your father.
19:26Okay, would you two like to...
19:27Just keep it shut, you clown.
19:29Leave him alone.
19:30What? Am I ruining it all day?
19:31You're having him.
19:31Why did you come here?
19:33Everyone knows you want to go to Oh So Fancy Balliol.
19:35But don't make out you made the choice.
19:36What?
19:37It's your strategy.
19:38You have to push everyone to the edge to elevate yourself.
19:41To pretend you're superior so that no one notices that you're a coward.
19:43Who'd rather be a marionette for everybody instead of standing up for what you really want.
20:03Oh.
20:04Oh.
20:05Oh.
20:05Oh.
20:05Oh.
20:05Oh.
20:05Oh.
20:06Oh.
20:06Oh.
20:06Oh.
20:07Oh.
20:07Oh.
20:08Oh.
20:18Ruby!
20:21These last few weeks you've been ignoring me.
20:22The best you can do it.
20:24Keep doing that forever.
20:28And what if I say that you're right?
20:32I'm living for others all the time.
20:34I do unforgivable things.
20:35Lying and hiding what I really feel.
20:37But you can't judge me for that.
20:38Because I do all of it for you.
20:40I don't get you.
20:42Forgive me.
20:44Try just talking to me instead of all these stupid riddles.
20:46You make me feel like I've lost it.
20:47You've already made me lose it.
20:49Do you have any idea what it's doing to me?
20:50How it feels to sit near to you?
20:51To keep hearing your voice every day.
20:53Do you?
20:53Such a fantasist.
20:54You can't just embarrass me in front of all of your friends.
20:57Blow me out and then say that I have no comprehension of it.
20:59I can't do it, Ruby.
21:14Forgive me.
21:15Okay?
21:16Explain why you've come here.
21:18Why are you bothering with me?
21:19Because I...
21:20What?
21:21You don't know what you want from me.
21:22All that you want from anybody.
21:24Because you know shit.
21:35I know exactly what I want.
21:37Then put up a fight for it.
21:39All my life, nobody's been interested in what I want.
21:46Not true.
21:50I'm more than interested in what you want.
22:09Did you actually start to believe someone like me would be interested in a car like you?
22:31Ruby?
22:48What's the matter?
22:49What's the matter?
23:01I apologize.
23:05What for?
23:11What is all this?
23:14Mum and Dad both said I changed according to them because of you.
23:20My dad saw you as a danger to his plans.
23:23And he was right.
23:24He'd sworn he'd been able to destroy you, he told me.
23:27Made me promise to end it.
23:27I knew I couldn't protect you from him.
23:29You deserve to have someone protecting you.
23:31I should be able to.
23:32My family should welcome you with open arms.
23:34Everyone else as well.
23:35But I can't offer you that.
23:36All I can offer are problems that I'm not even dealing with very well.
23:40So maybe you should have said that.
23:48It is not your job to decide what I can cope with.
23:50I just wanted to look after you.
23:53I'm not scared of him.
24:01What makes you say that?
24:12You don't know what he's capable of.
24:16I don't want...
24:17I won't be able to...
24:20James.
24:25Enough messing about.
24:28Enough lying.
24:29Do you promise?
24:30Do you promise?
24:30What are you doing?
24:49The thing couples do when they trust each other.
24:51Couples?
24:53Well, BFF isn't quite right.
24:54How can someone have such a high IQ and then use phrases like BFF, I wonder?
25:00Do you really think now is a good time to be rude again?
25:04I'll be anything you want.
25:06Friend.
25:07BFF.
25:08Anything.
25:08Anything.
25:09Anything.
25:09I won't tell you from life.
25:12I want to pay your love, too.
25:15I've stomped on the floodlights and...
25:17If every heart comes down, I want to be flooding you now.
25:22I won't tell you from the right.
25:28I don't want to see your eyelids sink.
25:31I stomped on my own silence.
25:34If every heart comes down, I'm kind of afraid of you now.
25:38Hey you.
25:40Hey you.
25:42Hey you.
25:44Hey you.
25:46Hey you.
25:48Hey you.
25:50Hey you.
25:51I won't take you from the place you want to be in the lights on you.
26:03So stomp on my own silence.
26:06If every heart comes down, don't want to be flooding you now.
26:14Hey you.
26:16Hey you.
26:18Hey you.
26:19Hey you.
26:21Let me share your talk together
26:51Let me share your talk
27:21I never want to leave
27:36Not today, not tomorrow
27:38Or a month more
27:40I thought you didn't want to go to Oxford
27:41I'm not talking about Oxford University
27:43I'm talking about being here
27:51Sometime tomorrow the world will catch up with us
27:55You have just as many opportunities as everyone else
28:08You must take hold of them, James
28:10Whenever I'm at a loss or unhappy, I make lists
28:37It keeps me motivated and clears headspace
28:41You're making a list for me
28:43What would you have as your first point?
28:49I'd put sport, music
28:53There's nothing better than a war
28:55Because the sun goes down
28:56When the sun comes up
28:58Oh, and anything that has chillies in it
29:04I'd be able to eat my way through everything in a Bangkok football
29:07Like fried insects, you know?
29:08Yeah, exactly
29:09And to read more
29:11More reading
29:12Come on, let's go
29:15Come on, let's go
29:16These are not life goals
29:18Dreams are for everyone
29:22I'm content when drawing
29:29Make a wish
29:31Make a wish
29:33Make a wish
29:45You forgot the most important thing
29:47Make a wish
29:49Now
29:51Let's go
29:53I'll eat
30:24Miss Bell, can you explain to me, please?
30:28Why come to Oxford?
30:36Can I ask if you're familiar with the elephant metaphor?
30:43Generally, the metaphor is used to describe a self-limiting set of beliefs.
30:48The fact that most people are capable of much more than they give themselves credit for.
30:51But I'm beginning to realize that I've tied myself to my future.
30:56And as a result, I didn't give the attention to many moments in the here and now that they deserve.
31:01James Beaufort?
31:03James Beaufort?
31:05Early on.
31:11I now know that it's the stops we make along the way that make up our actual lives.
31:18Our life in the here and now.
31:21And sometimes these very moments draw new, exciting visions of the future for us in this end.
31:30Run, run like a river.
31:33Run, run like a river.
31:36Run, run like a river.
31:38Run.
31:41Run, run like a river.
31:43Run, run like a river.
31:45This is the voicemail of Cordelia Beaufort.
31:48Please leave a message after the tone.
31:50Hi, Mum.
31:52Hope you're doing well.
31:54I have something important to tell you.
31:57Don't worry, though.
31:59It's good news.
32:04I miss you, Mum.
32:06Let's meet up.
32:07Run, run like a river.
32:13Run, run like a river.
32:16Run, run like a river.
32:18Run.
32:21Run, run like a river.
32:23We realize that we are no longer afraid of our future.
32:26Because it is in the present that we decide if our dreams will come true.
32:30And if we will become the people we always wanted to be.
32:33Run, run, run.
32:40Run, run.
32:41Run, run.
32:45Run, run.
32:46Run, run.
32:48Run, run.
32:49Run, run.
32:50Run, run.
32:51Run, run.
32:52Run, run.
32:53Run, run.
32:53Run, run.
32:54It takes courage to think beyond the present.
32:58But sometimes it's another person's gaze that builds our future for us in a new light.
33:03I feel like I've arrived for the first time in my life.
33:16Hello?
33:18Anybody here?
33:19I don't want to fast forward or rewind.
33:22I want to be right here, right now.
33:24I don't want to be right here, right now.
33:54Talk to me.
34:24Mr. Beaufort is waiting inside.
34:54Sit down.
35:02I believe I said take a seat.
35:24Your mother has suffered a stroke.
35:36Where is she?
35:42Cordelia is dead.
35:45I'm afraid I came away yesterday when they told me there was nothing more they could do.
36:04I finally had to leave the hospital.
36:09You didn't even call.
36:10Cordelia was so proud of your invitations to Oxford.
36:13I didn't want to affect your interviews.
36:18I already told you that keeping the investors happy is our top priority right now.
36:22We can't have a value to collapse.
36:25Yes.
36:26I know that.
36:27Damn it, Gordon.
36:28Meredith needs to send a draft.
36:31It has to go out there.
36:32James, don't.
36:33Yes.
36:34Damn it, Gordon.
