00:00Music
00:14Sorry, but don't fudge this up.
00:15As if. You could puke at Professor Muller's bin and he still beg you to come.
00:19Didn't your mum have a class with him?
00:21Apparently you do actually have to put in some work to earn your place.
00:24Yeah, won't be easy. Let's go.
00:30Prepared?
00:32Yeah. We'll go in, get our offers, and then we're done. Easy as that.
00:45For those I haven't met yet, I am Jude.
00:48I'm a second year in St. Hilda's College here at Oxford
00:50and I'll accompany you through the entire application process.
00:52In the first interview, all the professors want to test your critical thinking
00:56and see how well you can develop a position on a topic.
00:59In the second one, they want to see how you work under stress and if you crumble.
01:02Then, in the third and final interview, it's all about you
01:05to see if you really fit in here at Oxford.
01:07Out of all three, this is the big one.
01:09The first round of interviews starts in 45 minutes.
01:12That means you have plenty of time to go through your notes,
01:14maybe have a bite to eat.
01:16You're nervous, but you've made it this far.
01:18That means Oxford wants you.
01:20The only thing you must make sure to do is stay out your own way.
01:23I'll call your name. All good?
01:25I'll call your name. All good?
01:26Yeah.
01:27It's all good.
01:28Good.
01:29Good.
02:00Ruby Bell, St. Elders.
02:30Ruby Bell, St. Elders.
03:00Were you not nervous?
03:03Nervous? About ten times more than you.
03:06And they accepted me anyway.
03:08I'll see you later.
03:14I'll see you later.
03:22Miss Bell, so glad you accepted our invitation.
03:37Thank you. It's my pleasure.
03:39Super. Then let's carry on.
03:41For a couple of years now, the New York Times has published an opinion piece which claimed that the British monarchy was a wasteful anachronism.
03:49Can our system exist in its duality?
03:53Can the monarchy and parliamentary democracy continue side by side?
03:57Or do you think we should become a republic?
03:58I believe the question can be approached from either side.
04:03On the one hand, one could argue that the monarchy offers stability, at least symbolically.
04:08On the other hand, the amount of money spent financing this individual institution must be called into question.
04:13And bearing in mind that other countries worldwide are clearly striving without it.
04:18Please do carry on.
04:20The market is based on speculation.
04:23On the fact that the future is not very reliable, as we know.
04:26We wish it were.
04:27So profit is generated in the here and now.
04:29And a business with a successful model makes use of this to improve tunnel.
04:33Thank you, Mr. Beaufort.
04:35The apple doesn't fall far from the tree.
04:37I remember your father was top of his class at Balliol.
04:41He was lighted ahead of everyone with his knowledge and ambition.
04:50How did it go?
04:51You say first.
04:52Uh, I think it went pretty well.
04:54It was amazing having so many things to discuss.
04:56I mean, Plato came up and Moliere.
04:58At least they didn't give you mean stares.
04:59The professor in my interview had such a bushy monobrow that he spent the whole time looking like an angry Mr. Beau.
05:04I just couldn't stop looking at it.
05:06He must have been aware.
05:07No.
05:07Hey.
05:09How did the first round go?
05:10All good?
05:10Good, yeah.
05:11I'd say you could both benefit from a little downtime.
05:14Tonight, eh?
05:15Oxford style?
05:17Yeah.
05:20I 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.
05:43There's some seats over there.
05:46Come on, please.
05:46What the hell is what I need to reach you.
05:50Who do we have here?
05:54Looks like they're getting on well.
06:03And here it is.
06:05Speciality of the house and an absolute must for every Oxford visitor.
06:08Thanks.
06:09Cross keys.
06:12I've got the same answer today.
06:13Someone suggested I drink water instead.
06:16Here, try this one.
06:17Whiskey.
06:18It's 18 years old.
06:22What's up?
06:24Sorry.
06:33Here's something I've heard.
06:34The barkeepers are made to agree not to share anything they see when they start working here.
06:38Is that for real?
06:41First time I tried it, that's exactly the same face I made.
06:43And at the end of the evening, I run back to campus, singing, falling over, and all half-naked.
06:47Okay, I'll skip that experience if that's possible.
06:49And we'll save it for when you're a student here full-time.
06:52Cheers.
06:52Welcome back.
07:09Oh my God.
07:13Welcome back.
07:16I'm going to get some fresh air. Can I have my bag?
07:35Alf.
07:36Hey, man. You've been too obvious.
07:43Look who's talking.
07:46Are you okay?
08:07I hope that's a rhetorical question.
08:11Are you nervous about the interviews?
08:21It doesn't matter about the interview result. There's nowhere I can go to Oxford now.
08:25What do you mean?
08:28You've beaten me this year for top marks in our class twice already.
08:35If you need something for your period, I don't have a period at the moment.
08:41Is it, um...
08:53Is it, um...
08:54I know, it's crazy to think about.
09:01I've never been in love with anyone like I am with him.
09:03With a baby, too.
09:07Got to love hormones.
09:11There's great programs for mothers at Oxford. I read about them when I was finding out about scholarships.
09:19Jacinda Arden became a mother while she was running a whole country.
09:23I know we don't know each other.
09:28I know we don't know each other.
09:31But I saw you at school all the time.
09:33How you persevered whilst everything was going on.
09:38Lydia, if there is anybody I know who can do it, it's you.
09:41It's becoming clear why my brother can't get over you.
09:58You make it seem like everything is possible.
10:01No matter what a shitty illusion that is.
10:05What did he say to you?
10:06Tell me it's not obvious he's suffering.
10:15He was the one that left me.
10:17Sometimes the greatest testament to love is to let someone go.
10:21You're scared, cause I am so...
10:27This fear in my head is being there for too long.
10:36For pretty bad.
10:37I do absolutely love at life.
10:38clips in the 100th century,
10:39They're crazy, very tough for me.
10:49Videos in the background is being there for me, probably.
10:51And our Phi.
10:52I remember as my hero.
10:53You know.
10:54One of the other things music –
10:59Can you just make it this way?
11:01Ain't no more, you think your amazingP
11:03I'm trying, I'm just trying to be brave
11:12Just trying to be brave
11:20There's somebody who ordered this place
11:29That's right down the middle
11:32Yeah, I'll be coming back
11:35Yeah, I'll be coming back
11:51My Olympic score after one day in Oxford
12:06Sleep zero, distraction ten
12:09Great score, Ruby Bell
12:11You're perfect, there's nothing to worry about
12:18You'll be superb
12:19How many people are in this room?
12:36If we take direct perception as a discussion starting point, as in Gibson's model, I would
12:46say that I perceive two entities in the room other than myself
12:49And so the answer I would like to give is three
12:54The error is normal
12:57How many people are in this room?
13:01Try again
13:03Hey
13:18You okay?
13:21You seem like you weren't okay
13:25It's all good
13:27I just wasn't in the mood to party
13:29It's just all the stress
13:30I'll be so relieved when it's all over
13:33You know?
13:34You know when we can pick up where we left off, hmm?
13:36Back at home
13:37And enjoy this last year of freedom
13:39I guess we don't know how lucky we are at Maxson Hall
13:42We're all just working ourselves to get here for what?
13:45And just sit around for more
13:47And learn, and write, and write
13:50Good morning
13:51Good morning
13:53Good morning
13:54Good morning
13:55What did you say?
13:59I was talking about being back home where everything's normal
14:03At least for another year
14:05What?
14:07Does change always have to be something bad?
14:10Probably depends on the change, I guess
14:14How did the interview go today?
14:34I think I can safely say I blew it
14:36I shouldn't have got so drunk yesterday
14:39Did you know that Freesia symbolized trust?
14:50You know that I...
14:51I thought with Keshe I'd do that
14:53That whole backing off then
14:55He would have enough head space to make his mind up and decide if he wanted it
14:58Instead he's trying to conform to the views of everyone else and especially his parents
15:03Messing with Camille, I don't understand that
15:05It's as if he has no idea how to treat others let alone himself
15:08And...
15:10And so all I can think is that I just should never have let him go
15:15For fuck's sake I just shouldn't have let him go
15:20But I suppose you had no choice
15:23Yeah, it's a simple fact
15:26It's fight for something or give up
15:29You always have a choice
15:30I just don't get why people are so scared shitless of being their true selves
15:35Are you going to hide in the last row and sleep off my hangover?
15:53Sorry, were you going to sit there?
15:54No, it's fine
15:55Sorry, were you going to sit there?
15:56No, it's fine
15:57Sorry, were you going to sit there?
15:58No, it's fine
15:59No, it's fine
16:00Yeah, we're good
16:01Okay, sorry, just wait for you to sit there
16:02Sorry, were you going to sit there?
16:03No, it's fine
16:04Sorry, were you going to sit there?
16:05No, it's fine
16:06No, it's fine
16:07Sorry, just wait for you to sit there
16:12Sorry, were you going to sit there?
16:15No, it's fine
16:17Okay, welcome along to the student's question and answer session
16:22Okay, welcome along to the students' question and answer session.
16:34I got some of my classmates to come here by lying to them about there being snacks and drinks involved.
16:39Most of them are now feeling incredibly hungry and terribly betrayed,
16:42but I hope they will still answer some of your questions.
16:45Let's go.
16:47How strenuous is the coursework here, really?
16:50Do you still have time for a personal life?
16:51Nila?
16:52Well, I would say that compared to other unis, it's certainly more intensive.
16:56So, yeah, there's still time for a personal life, don't worry.
16:59But that bit's up to you.
17:03Any more questions?
17:04Do you have a lot of contact with the students in the other colleges in Oxford,
17:08or is the day-to-day routine very separate?
17:10I just want to know if I have to say goodbye to the bestest friend I could hope to meet.
17:13It's true, the colleges are usually quite independent,
17:16so if you've got two students, but one is at Balliol, for example,
17:19and the other one is here at St. Hilda's studying,
17:22they might not interact that often.
17:24Sure.
17:25Balliol is Oxford's elite college.
17:26Yeah, that's an example of what someone from Balliol would say.
17:30Many thanks.
17:31Anybody want to follow that?
17:32What's your average score?
17:34So what?
17:34I'm just asking to make sure you're competent to prepare us to study here at Oxford before I sign up.
17:39Let's hear from applicants better informed.
17:42They're the questions I want to hear instead of wasting time with your unqualified comments and unnecessary contributions.
17:47What's your problem?
17:48I just think how scary it is.
17:50How little time it's taken for you to sound like him.
17:51Like who?
17:52Your father.
17:56Okay, would you two like to...
17:57Just keep it shut, you clown.
17:59Leave him alone.
18:00What, am I ruining a little date you're having here?
18:01Why did you come here?
18:03Everyone knows you want to go to Oh So Fancy Balliol,
18:05but don't make out you made the choice.
18:06What?
18:07It's your strategy.
18:08You have to push everyone to the edge to elevate yourself,
18:11to pretend you're superior so that no one notices that you're a coward
18:13who'd rather be a marionette for everybody instead of standing up for what you really want.
18:22Oh, my God.
18:52If you've been ignoring me, the best you can do it.
18:54Keep doing that forever.
18:58And what if I say that you're right?
19:02I'm living for others all the time.
19:04I do unforgivable things, lying and hiding what I really feel,
19:07but you can't judge me for that because I do all of it for you.
19:10I don't get you.
19:12Forget it.
19:14Try just talking to me instead of all these stupid riddles.
19:16You make me feel like I've lost it.
19:17You've already made me lose it.
19:19Do you have any idea what it's doing to me,
19:20how it feels to sit near to you, to keep hearing your voice every day, do you?
19:23Such a fantasist.
19:25You can't just embarrass me in front of all of your friends,
19:27blow me out and then say that I have no comprehension of it.
19:29I can't do it, Ruby.
19:44Forgive me, okay?
19:46Explain why you've come here.
19:48Why are you bothering with me?
19:49Because I...
19:50You don't know what you want from me or what you want from anybody
19:54because you know shit.
20:05I know exactly what I want.
20:07Then put up a fight for it.
20:11All my life nobody's been interested in what I want.
20:13Not true.
20:20I'm more than interested in what you want.
20:21I'm more than interested in what you want.
20:21How does he do it?
20:36I'm more than interested in what you want.
20:41Oh, yeah.
20:43I'm more than interested in it.
20:49Who씩 time away?
20:50Did you actually start to believe someone like me would be interested in a car like you?
21:17Ruby? What's the matter?
21:20I apologise.
21:35What for?
21:41What is all this?
21:44Mum and Dad both said I'd changed according to them because of you.
21:47My dad saw you as a danger to his plans and he was right. He'd sworn he'd been able to destroy you he told me. Made me promise to end it. I knew I couldn't protect you from him.
21:59You deserve to have someone protecting you. I should be able to. My family should welcome you with open arms. Everyone else as well. But I can't offer you that. All I can offer are problems that I'm not even dealing with very well.
22:10So maybe you should have said that.
22:18It is not your job to decide what I can cope with.
22:20I just wanted to look after you.
22:22I'm not scared of him.
22:24What makes you say that?
22:38You don't know what he's capable of.
22:44I don't want... I won't be able to...
22:49James...
22:51Enough messing about.
22:56Enough lying.
22:58Do you promise?
23:16What are you doing?
23:18A thing couples do when they trust each other.
23:20Couples?
23:22Well BFF isn't quite right.
23:25How can someone have such a high IQ and then use phrases like BFF, I wonder?
23:30Do you really think now is a good time to be rude again?
23:33I'll be anything you want.
23:35Friend.
23:36BFF.
23:37Anything.
23:38Anything.
23:39Anything.
23:40Anything.
23:51Anything.
24:12Anything.
24:13Are you, are you, are you, are you, are you, are you, are you, are you, are you, I won't take you from a place you want to beam the lights on you
24:32So stomp on my own silence, if every high comes down, don't want to be flooding you now
24:40Let me share you, let's hope together
25:10There's nothing I feel in the rush
25:32Is this James Beaufort, the waterbed breaker sex instructor?
25:53Remember I told you it wasn't a waterbed
25:54I never want to leave
26:06Not today, not tomorrow, or a month more
26:10I thought you didn't want to go to Oxford
26:11I'm not talking about Oxford University
26:13I'm talking about being here
26:19Sometime tomorrow the world will catch up with us
26:25You have just as many opportunities as everyone else
26:38You must take hold of them, James
26:41Whenever I'm at a loss or unhappy, I make lists
27:07It keeps me motivated and clears headspace
27:09You're making a list for me
27:12What would you have as your first point?
27:20I'd put sport, music
27:23There's nothing better than a war because the sun goes down
27:26When the sun comes up, that's also good
27:29Oh, and anything that has chillies in it
27:34I'd be able to eat my way through everything in a Bangkok food hall
27:37Like fried insects, if you don't
27:38Yeah, exactly
27:39Okay
27:40And to read more
27:40More reading
27:42Come on, let's go and sit on a good one
27:46These are not life goals
27:48Dreams are for everyone
27:52I'm content when drawing
27:59Make a wish
28:04You forgot the most important thing
28:16You're not
28:18Doing it right
28:19Doing it right
28:21Doing it
28:21I'm doing it right, I'm doing it right
28:27I'm doing it right, I'm doing it right
28:51Miss Bell, can you explain to me please, why come to Oxford?
29:06Can I ask if you're familiar with the elephant metaphor?
29:13Generally the metaphor is used to describe a self-limiting set of beliefs
29:17The fact that most people are capable of much more than they give themselves credit for
29:22But I'm beginning to realize that I've tied myself to my future
29:25And as a result, I didn't give the attention to many moments in the here and now that they deserve
29:31James Beaufort?
29:33James Beaufort?
29:35Valio?
29:41I now know that it's the stops we make along the way that make up our actual lives
29:45Our life in the here and now
29:50And sometimes these very moments draw new, exciting visions of the future for us in the sand
29:57This is the voicemail of Cordelia Beaufort
30:18Please leave a message after the tone
30:20Hi mum
30:22Hope you're doing well
30:23I have something important to tell you
30:26Don't worry though
30:28It's good news
30:30I miss you mum
30:35Let's meet up
30:37We realize that we are no longer afraid of our future
30:55Because it is in the present that we decide if our dreams will come true
31:00And if we will become the people we always wanted to be
31:03It takes courage to dig beyond the present
31:26but sometimes it's another person's gaze that builds our future for us in a new light
31:33i feel like i've arrived for the first time in my life hello anybody here i don't want
31:49to fast forward or rewind i want to be right here right now

35:25Leave me alone!
35:39You sat in the car and you didn't have a single word to say.
35:45I'm so sorry, James.
35:55Every person deserves a world of possibilities.
36:09To dream their own dreams.
36:11To be who they want to be.
36:14And to love whoever they want.
36:25To be who they want to be.
36:55I see my future more clearly than ever before.
37:05Finally, all the puzzle pieces are in place.
37:07All doors are open to us.
37:09We just have to walk through them.
