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
03:08You
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, man. It's back up from mine, up from mine. I can't hear you, man. It's back up from mine, up from mine. I can't hear you, man. It's back up from mine, up from mine. I can't hear you, man. It's back up from mine, up from mine. I can't hear you, man.
07:32And here it is. Speciality of the house and an absolute must for every Oxford visitor. Thanks. Cross keys.
07:42I've got the same after today. Someone suggested I drank water instead. Here. Try this one. Whiskey that's 18 years old.
07:48I'm 18 years old.
07:52What's up?
07:54I'm sorry.
08:02Here's something like that.
08:04The barkeepers are made to agree not to share anything they see when they start working here.
08:08Is that for real?
08:10The first time I tried it, that's exactly the same face I made.
08:13And at the end of the evening, I ran back to campus,
08:15singing, fooling over, and all half-naked.
08:17Okay, I'll skip that experience if that's possible.
08:19And we'll save it for when you're a student here full time.
08:21Cheers.
08:44Well?
08:45I'm going to get some fresh air. Can I have my bag?
08:47I'm going to get some fresh air. Can I have my bag?
08:51I'm going to get some fresh air. Can I have my bag?
08:53I'm going to get some fresh air. Can I have my bag?
08:55I'm going to get some fresh air. Can I have my bag?
09:05Al.
09:06Hey, man. You're being too obvious.
09:13Look who's talking.
09:15Are you okay?
09:37I hope that's a rhetorical question.
09:45Are you nervous about the interviews?
09:51It doesn't matter about the interview result.
09:55There'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.
10:10If you need something for your period, I don't have a period at the moment.
10:15Is it, um...
10:16I know, it's crazy to think about.
10:22I've never been in love with anyone like I am with him.
10:32With the baby too.
10:33Got to love hormones.
10:34There's great programs for mothers at Oxford.
10:35I read about them when I was finding out about scholarships.
10:39Jacinda Arden became a mother while she was running a whole country.
10:40I know we don't know each other.
10:46But I saw you at school all the time.
10:47How you persevered while everything was going on.
10:48Lydia, if there is anybody I know who can do it, it's you.
10:53I know we don't know each other.
10:54But I saw you at school all the time.
10:55How you persevered while everything was going on.
10:56Lydia, if there is anybody I know who can do it, it's you.
11:00It's becoming clear why my brother can't get over you.
11:04You make it seem like everything is possible.
11:05No matter what a shitty illusion that is.
11:11What did he say to you?
11:12Tell me it's not obvious.
11:13It's becoming clear why my brother can't get over you.
11:27You make it seem like everything is possible.
11:31No matter what a shitty illusion that is.
11:34What did he say to you?
11:39Tell me it's not obvious he's suffering.
11:44He was the one that left me.
11:47Sometimes the greatest testament to love is to let someone go.
12:09You call me cause I am too.
12:14So cover your toes with a jacket in your bones, with a blanket out.
12:20I won't try it.
12:21I'm just trying to be brave.
12:22I'm just trying to be brave.
12:27I'm just trying to be brave.
12:28I'm just trying to be brave.
12:32I'm just trying to be brave.
12:33I'm just trying to be brave.
12:39I'm just trying to be brave.
12:40I'm just trying to be brave.
12:41I'm just trying to be brave.
12:46I'm just trying to be brave.
12:47I'm just trying to be brave.
12:48I'm just trying to be brave.
12:53I miss somebody who's here to this place.
12:55I spent down a middle.
12:57Body water that splits us when you're down the middle
13:02I'll be coming back
13:05I'll be coming back
13:27My Olympic score after one day in Oxford
13:36Sleep zero
13:38Distraction ten
13:39Great score, Ruby Bell
13:41You're perfect, there's nothing to worry about
13:48You'll be superb
13:57How many people are in this room?
14:10If we take direct perception as a discussion starting point, as in Gibson's model
14:15I would say that I perceive two entities in the room other than myself
14:19And so, the answer I would like to give is three
14:24The error is normal
14:27How many people are in this room?
14:30Try again
14:30Hey
14:48You okay?
14:53It seemed like you weren't okay
14:55It's all good
14:57I just wasn't in the mood to party
14:59It's just all the stress
15:00I'll be so relieved when it's all over
15:03You know, when we can pick up where we left off
15:05And back at home
15:07And enjoy this last year of freedom
15:09I guess we don't know how lucky we are at Maxim Hall
15:12We're all just working ourselves to get here for what?
15:15Just sit around for more
15:17and learn
15:18and write
15:19and write
15:20andドライ
15:21and just
15:21and take a nap
15:23fest
15:38Does change always have to be something bad?
15:43Probably depends on the change, I guess.
16:03How did the interview go today?
16:05I think I can safely say I blew it.
16:08I shouldn't have got so drunk yesterday.
16:14Did you know that freesia symbolized trust?
16:20You know that I...
16:22I thought with Keshe I'd do that.
16:23That whole backing off then.
16:25He would have enough head space to make his mind up and decide if he wanted it.
16:29Instead he's trying to conform to the views of everyone else and especially his parents.
16:33Messing with Camille, I don't understand that.
16:35It'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.
16:45For fuck's sake, I just shouldn't have let him go.
16:51But I suppose you had no choice.
16:54Yeah, it's a simple fact.
16:57It's fight for something or give up, you always have a choice.
17:00I just don't get why people are so scared shitless of being their true selves.
17:04I'm going to hide in the last row and sleep off my hangover.
17:06I'm going to hide in the last row and sleep off my hangover.
17:10I'm going to hide in the last row and sleep off my hangover.
17:22I'm going to hide in the last row and sleep off my hangover.
17:26I'm going to hide in the last row and sleep off my hangover.
17:45Sorry... were you going to sit in?
17:46No, it's fine.
17:48Okay, welcome along to the student's 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, but I hope they will still answer some of your questions.
18:15Let's go.
18:15How strenuous is the coursework here, really? Do 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, don't worry, but 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, or 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, the colleges are usually quite independent, so 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. Balliol is Oxford's elite college.
18:56Yeah, that's an example of what someone from Balliol would say. Many thanks. Anybody 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.
19:12They'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. How 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 you're having here?
19:31Why did you come here?
19:33Everyone knows you want to go to Oh So Fancy Balliol, but don't make out you made the choice.
19:36What?
19:37It's your strategy.
19:39You have to push everyone to the edge to elevate yourself, to 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.
20:13Ruby!
20:21These last few weeks you've been ignoring me. The best you can do it. Keep 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, lying and hiding what I really feel, but you can't judge me for that because I do all of it for you.
20:40I don't get you.
20:42Forgive.
20:44Try just talking to me instead of all these stupid riddles. You make me feel like I've lost it.
20:47You've already made me lose it. Do you have any idea what it's doing to me, how it feels to sit near to you, to keep hearing your voice every day, do you?
20:53Such a fantasist. You can't just embarrass me in front of all of your friends, blow me out and then say that I have no comprehension of it.
21:11I can't do it, Ruby.
21:11I can't do it, Ruby.
21:13I can't do it, Ruby.
21:14I can't do it, Ruby.
21:14Forgive me, okay?
21:16Hey, explain why you've come here. Why are you bothering with me?
21:19Because I...
21:20What?
21:21You don't know what you want from me, or what you want from anybody, because you know shit!
21:25I 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.
21:51Oh, yeah.
22:04Oh, yeah.
22:07Oh, yeah.
22:08Did you actually start to believe someone like me would be interested in a girl like you?
22:38Ruby?
22:48What's the matter?
22:50I apologize.
23:04What for?
23:06What is all this?
23:14Mum and Dad both said I'd changed according to them because of you.
23:21My Dad saw you as a danger to his plans.
23:23And he was right.
23:25He'd sworn he'd been able to destroy you, he told me.
23:27Made me promise to end it.
23:28I knew I couldn't protect you from him.
23:30You deserve to have someone protecting you.
23:32I should be able to.
23:33My family should welcome you with open arms, everyone else as well, but I can't offer you that.
23:36All I can offer are problems that I'm not even dealing with very well.
23:39So 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.
23:55What makes you say that?
24:08You don't know what he's capable of.
24:12I don't want...
24:17I won't be able to...
24:19James.
24:21Enough messing about.
24:27Enough lying.
24:29Do you promise?
24:30What are you doing?
24:47A thing couples do when they trust each other.
24:51Couples?
24:52Well, BFF isn't quite right.
24:54How can someone have such a high IQ and then use phrases like BFF, I wonder?
24:59Do you really think now is a good time to be rude again?
25:03I'll be anything you want.
25:05Friend.
25:06BFF.
25:07Anything.
25:08Anything.
25:09I know.
25:10I won't tell you.
25:11From life I want to pay your love too.
25:15I've stomped on the floodlights and...
25:18If every heart comes down, I wanna be flooding you now.
25:26I won't tell you.
25:27From the right I want to see your eyelids sink.
25:31I've stomped on my own silence.
25:34If every heart comes down, I'm kind of afraid of you now.
25:38I won't take you from a place you want to beam the lights on you
26:02so stomp on my own silence if every high comes down don't want to be flooding you now
26:13let me share your top together
26:32now
26:44There's nothing I feel in the rush
27:03Is this James Beaufort, the waterbed breaker sex instructor?
27:23Remember I told you it wasn't a waterbed
27:33I never want to leave
27:36Not today, not tomorrow, or 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
27:49Sometime tomorrow the world will catch up with us
28:03You have just as many opportunities as everyone else
28:08You must take hold of them, James
28:33Whenever I'm at a loss or unhappy, I make lists
28:37It keeps me motivated and clears headspace
28:39You're making a list for me?
28:43What would you have as your first point?
28:50I'd put sport, music
28:53There's nothing better than a war
28:55Because the sun goes down
28:56And the sun comes up
28:58That's also great
28:59Oh, and anything that's good
29:03It has chillies in it
29:04I'd be able to eat my way through everything in a Bangkok food hall
29:07Like fried insects, do you think?
29:08Yeah, exactly
29:09Okay
29:10And to read more
29:10More reading
29:12Come on, let's go and sip on a good one
29:16These are not life goals
29:18Dreams are for everyone
29:22I'm content when drawing
29:33Make a wish
29:34Make a wish
29:34Make a wish
29:40You forgot the most important thing
29:46I'm doing it right
29:58I'm doing it right
30:00Doing it right
30:04Miss Bell, can you explain to me please, why come to Oxford?
30:34Can 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.
30:53But 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
31:00deserve.
31:01James Beaufort, James Beaufort, Laleon.
31:12I now know that it's the stops we make along the way that make up our actual lives.
31:19Our life in the here and now.
31:22And sometimes these very moments draw new, exciting visions of the future for us in this end.
31:29This is the voicemail of Cordelia Beaufort.
31:35Can you leave a message after the tone?
31:40Hi mum, hope 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.
32:06I miss you mum.
32:19I miss you mum.
32:24It means that we are no longer afraid of our future.
32:27Because 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.
32:34It takes courage to think beyond the present.
32:59But sometimes it's another person's gaze that builds our future for us in a new light.
33:13I feel like I've arrived for the first time in my life.
33:16Hello?
33:17Anybody here?
33:18I don't want to fast forward or rewind.
33:21I want to be right here, right now.
33:34Hey!
33:35Run, run like a river.
33:39Run, run like a river.
33:41Run, run like a river.
33:43Run!
33:44Run!
33:46Run, run like a river.
33:48Like a river that runs to the sea.
33:52You gotta run to me.
34:05Mr. Beaufort is waiting inside.
34:35Sit down.
35:03I believe I said take a seat.
35:33Your mother has suffered a stroke.
35:38Where is she?
35:41Cordelia is dead.
35:48I'm afraid I came away yesterday when they told me there was nothing more they could do.
36:05I finally had to leave the hospital.
36:09You didn't even call.
36:10Cordelia was so proud of your invitations to Oxford. I didn't want to affect your interviews.
36:17I've already told you that keeping the investors happy is our top priority right now. We cannot have a value to collapse. Yes, I know that. Damn it, Gordon. Meredith needs to send the draft. It has to go out there.
36:32James, don't. Yes, damn it, Gordon. I understand that. The position of artistic director will be filled as soon as the press release is out.
36:39James, don't!
36:40You fucking asshole!
36:41Stop it and leave each other alone!
36:48Leave me alone!
36:56Leave me alone!
37:10You sat in the car and you didn't have a single word to say.
37:15I'm so sorry, James.
37:26Every person deserves a world of possibilities.
37:39To dream their own dreams.
37:41To be who they want to be.
37:44And to love whoever they want.
37:56To be who they want to be.
38:26I see my future more clearly than ever before.
38:35Finally, all the puzzle pieces are in place.
38:37All doors are open to us.
38:39We just have to walk through them.
