00:00You
00:06Statistics show that Olympic medalists follow three rules when preparing for their competitions
00:13Get enough sleep
00:18Meticulous preparation and avoid distractions at all costs
00:30I
00:53For centuries Nobel Prize winners heads of state writers and scientists have been educated here
00:58Soon I could be one of them
01:04My future awaits behind these walls. I've been waiting for this day for years. Finally it is here
01:16Hey
01:20This is Jude, Ruby. Hi
01:28I
01:32Don't fuck this up
01:34I
01:36Don't fuck this up. As if you could puke and Professor Muller's been and he's still begging you to come
01:40Didn't your mum have a class with him?
01:42Apparently you do actually have to put in some work to earn your place
01:46Hmm
01:48Yeah, won't be easy. Let's go
01:50Hey, Alistair
01:52Hey, Alistair, wait
01:54Prepared?
01:56Yeah
01:58We'll go in get our offers and then we're done. Easy as that
02:00For those I haven't met yet
02:02I am Jude. I'm a second year in St. Hilda's College here at Oxford and I'll accompany you through the entire application process
02:06In the first interview all the professors want to test your critical thinking and see how well you can develop a position on a topic
02:12In the second one they want to see how you work under stress and if you crumble then in the third and final interview it's all about you to see if you really fit in here
02:18Oxford
02:20Out of all three this is the big one the first round of interview starts in 45 minutes and we're gonna be able to do it
02:24For those I haven't met yet
02:26For those I haven't met yet. I am Jude
02:28I'm a second year in St. Hilda's College here at Oxford and I'll accompany you through the entire application process
02:32In the first interview all the professors want to test your critical thinking and see how well you can develop a position on a topic
02:36In the second one they want to see how you work under stress and if you crumble
02:40Then in the third and final interview it's all about you to see if you really fit in here at Oxford
02:44Out of all three this is the big one
02:46Interview starts in 45 minutes
02:48That means you have plenty of time to go through your notes
02:50Maybe have a bite to eat
02:51You're nervous but you've made it this far
02:53That means Oxford wants you
02:55The only thing you must make sure to do is stay out your own way
02:58I'll call your name
02:59All good?
03:16all good
03:17Hey to the public
03:18top 10
03:43Ruby Bell, St. Elders.
03:48Good luck.
04:18Hey. No need for nerves. You'll be fine.
04:35Were you not nervous? Nervous? About ten times more than you.
04:40And they accepted me anyway. I'll see you later.
05:09Miss Bell, so glad you accepted our invitation.
05:12Thank you. It's my pleasure.
05:14Super. Then let's carry on.
05:16For a couple of years now, the New York Times has published an opinion piece which claimed that the British monarchy was a wasteful anachronism.
05:24Can 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?
05:36I 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.
05:52Please do carry on.
05:54Please do carry on.
05:56The 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 tunnel.
06:07Thank you, Mr. Beaufort. The apple doesn't fall far from the tree.
06:12I remember your father was top of his class at Balliol. He was likely to head of everyone with his knowledge and ambition.
06:25How'd it go? You say first.
06:27I think it went pretty well. It was amazing having so many things to discuss. I mean, Plato came up and Moliere.
06:32At 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.
06:38I just couldn't stop looking at it. He must have been aware.
06:41No.
06:42Hey. How did the first round go? All good?
06:45Good. Yeah.
06:46I'd say you could both benefit from a little downtime. Tonight, eh? Oxford style?
06:51Yeah.
06:52I 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.
07:11There's some seats over there. Come on!
07:27Who do we have here? Looks like they're getting on well.
07:30And here it is. Speciality of the house and an absolute must for every Oxford visitor. Thanks. Cross keys.
07:47I got the same after today. Someone suggested I drank water instead. Here, try this one. Whiskey. It's 18 years old.
07:54What's up?
07:57I'm sorry.
08:07Here's something I've heard. The barkeepers are made to agree not to share anything they see when they start working here.
08:12Is that for real?
08:15First time I tried it, that's exactly the same face I made. And at the end of the evening, I ran back to campus, singing, falling over and all half-naked.
08:21Okay, I'll skip that experience if that's possible.
08:24And we'll save it for when your student hit full time. Cheers.
08:27This idea of theæ from London are playing Gilmore.
08:30Here he is.
08:32Oh my god!
08:36He froze because I...
08:46He was there.
08:48You're good since Jim rÐ―ŅО.
08:50Who knows?
08:51Yeah, he did rather.
08:52He Whisk by J belle, J belle
08:53I'm going to get some fresh air.
09:01Can I have my bag?
09:10Al.
09:11Hey, man.
09:12You've been too obvious.
09:18Look who's talking.
09:23Are you okay?
09:45I hope that's a rhetorical question.
09:53Are you nervous about the interviews?
09:57It doesn't matter about the interview result.
09:59There's no way I can go to Oxford now.
10:03What do you mean?
10:07You've beaten me this year for top marks in our class twice already.
10:15If you need something for your period...
10:16I don't have a period at the moment.
10:29Is it, um...
10:30I know, it's crazy to think about.
10:36I've never been in love with anyone like I am with him.
10:42With the baby, too.
10:43Got to love hormones.
10:48There's great programs for mothers at Oxford.
10:50I read about them when I was finding out about scholarships.
10:55Jacinda Arden became a mother while she was running a whole country.
11:03I know we don't know each other.
11:04But I saw you at school all the time.
11:08How you persevered whilst everything was going on.
11:14Lydia, if there is anybody I know who can do it, it's you.
11:30It's becoming clear why my brother can't get over you.
11:32You make it seem like everything is possible.
11:37No matter what a shitty illusion that is.
11:41What did he say to you?
11:45Tell me it's not obvious he's suffering.
11:50He was the one that left me.
11:53Sometimes the greatest testament to love is to let someone go.
11:55You escape, cause I aim to.
12:02This fear in my head is being there for too long.
12:08You call me cause I am too.
12:32I'm just trying to be brave.
12:33So cover your toes with a jacket and your bones with a blanket out.
12:42I'm trying.
12:44I'm just trying to be brave.
12:52Just trying to be brave.
12:55You're the one that's more you can do.
12:56Ooh.
12:56Ooh.
13:02There's somebody who ordered this place.
13:05I spent a dollar a middle.
13:09I'll be coming back.
13:10Ooh.
13:11Ooh.
13:12Ooh.
13:12Ooh.
13:12Ooh.
13:13Ooh.
13:13Ooh.
13:14Ooh.
13:14Ooh.
13:15Ooh.
13:16Ooh.
13:16Ooh.
13:16Ooh.
13:16Ooh.
13:17Ooh.
13:18Ooh.
13:18Ooh.
13:21Ooh.
13:21Ooh.
13:22Ooh.
13:22Ooh.
13:23Ooh.
13:24My Olympic score after one day in Oxford, sleep zero, distraction ten.
13:45Great score, Ruby Belle.
13:51You're perfect.
13:52There's nothing to worry about.
13:53You'll be superb.
14:09How many people are in this room?
14:15If we take direct perception as a discussion starting point, as in Gibson's model,
14:20I would say that I perceive two entities in the room other than myself.
14:26And so, the answer I would like to give is three.
14:30The error is normal.
14:32How many people are in this room?
14:35Try again.
14:35Hey.
14:49Are you okay?
14:56Are you okay?
14:56Are you okay?
14:56Uh, it seemed like you weren't okay.
15:01It's all good.
15:02I just wasn't in the mood to party.
15:04It's just all the stress.
15:06I'll be so relieved when it's all over.
15:08You know when we can pick up where we left off, hmm?
15:11Back at home and enjoy this last year of freedom.
15:14I guess we don't know how lucky we are at Maxton Hall.
15:18We're all just working our ourselves to get here.
15:20For what?
15:21We just sit around for more and learn and revise.
15:24What did you say?
15:36I was talking about being back home where everything's normal, at least for another year.
15:42What?
15:43Does change always have to be something bad?
15:48Probably depends on the change, I guess.
15:54How did the interview go today?
16:10I think I can safely say I blew it.
16:13I shouldn't have got so drunk yesterday.
16:19Did you know that freesia symbolized trust?
16:24You know that I...
16:26I thought with Keshe I'd do that.
16:29That whole backing off, then...
16:31He would have enough headspace to make his mind up and decide if he wanted it.
16:35Instead, he's trying to conform to the views of everyone else and especially his parents.
16:39Messing with Camille, I don't understand that.
16:41It's as if he has no idea how to treat others, let alone himself.
16:46And...
16:47And so all I can think is that I just should never have let him go.
16:50For fuck's sake, I just shouldn't have let him go.
16:57But I suppose you had no choice.
17:00Yeah, it's a simple fact.
17:03It's fight for something or give up.
17:05You always have a choice.
17:06I just don't get why people are so scared shitless of being their true selves.
17:10I'm going to hide in the last row and sleep off my hangover.
17:28Sorry, were you going to sit here?
17:50No, it's fine.
17:51Okay, welcome along to the students' question and answer session.
18:09I got some of my classmates to come here by lying to them about there being snacks and drinks involved.
18:14Most of them are now feeling incredibly hungry and terribly betrayed.
18:17But I hope they will still answer some of your questions.
18:20Let's go.
18:21How strenuous is the coursework here, really?
18:25Do you still have time for a personal life?
18:27Neela?
18:27Well, I would say that compared to other unis, it's certainly more intensive.
18:31So, yeah, there's still time for a personal life.
18:33Don't worry.
18:34But that bit's up to you.
18:38Any more questions?
18:40Do you have a lot of contact with the students in the other colleges in Oxford?
18:43Or is the day-to-day routine very separate?
18:45I just want to know if I have to say goodbye to the bestest friend I could hope to meet.
18:48It's true, the colleges are usually quite independent.
18:51So 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.
18:59Sure.
19:00Balliol is Oxford's elite college.
19:02Yeah, that's an example of what someone from Balliol would say.
19:05Many thanks.
19:06Anybody want to follow that?
19:07What's your average score?
19:09So what?
19:09I'm just asking to make sure you're competent to prepare us to study here at Oxford before I sign up.
19:14Let's hear from applicants better informed.
19:18They're the questions I want to hear instead of wasting time with your unqualified comments and unnecessary contributions.
19:23What's your problem?
19:23I just think how scary it is.
19:25How little time it's taken for you to sound like him.
19:27Like who?
19:27Your father.
19:27Okay, would you two like to...
19:32Just keep it shut, you clown.
19:34Leave him alone.
19:35What, am I ruining it until date you're having here?
19:36Why did you come here?
19:38Everyone knows you want to go to Oh So Fancy Balliol, but don't make out you made the choice.
19:42What?
19:42It's your strategy.
19:43You 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 who'd rather be a marionette for everybody instead of standing up for what you really want.
19:51Oh, my God.
20:21these last few weeks you've been ignoring me the best you can do it keep doing that forever
20:30and what if i say that you're right
20:34i'm living for others all the time i do unforgivable things lying and hiding what i
20:41really feel but you can't judge me for that because i do all of it for you i don't get you
20:46forgive me try just talking to me instead of all these stupid riddles you make me feel like i've
20:52lost it you've already made me lose it do you have any idea what it's doing to me how it feels

21:03of it

21:25what you don't know what you want from me or what you want from anybody because you know shit
21:30i know exactly what i want then put up a fight for it all my life nobody's been interested in what i
21:48want not true
21:52i'm more than interested in what you want
21:56oh
22:03oh
22:06oh
22:08oh
22:14oh
22:14oh
22:18oh
22:20oh
22:20oh
22:24oh
22:25Did you actually start to believe someone like me would be interested in a car like you?
22:52Ruby, what's the matter?
22:55I apologise.
23:10What for?
23:16What is all this?
23:19Mum and Dad both said I'd changed according to them because of you.
23:22My Dad saw you as a danger to his plans, and he was right.
23:29He'd sworn he'd been able to destroy you, he told me, made me promise to end it.
23:33I knew I couldn't protect you from him.
23:34You deserve to have someone protecting you.
23:36I should be able to.
23:37My family should welcome you with open arms, everyone else as well, but I can't offer you that.
23:41All I can offer are problems that I'm not even dealing with very well.
23:43So maybe you should have said that.
23:53It is not your job to decide what I can cope with.
23:56I just wanted to look after you.
23:58I'm not scared of him.
23:59What makes you say that?
24:17You don't know what he's capable of.
24:19I don't want...
24:23I won't be able to...
24:25James.
24:30Enough messing about.
24:33Enough lying.
24:35Do you promise?
24:35Do you promise?
24:35What are you doing?
24:54A thing couples do when they trust each other.
24:56Couples?
24:58Well, BFF isn't quite right.
25:00How can someone have such a high IQ and then use phrases like BFF, I wonder?
25:05Do you really think now is a good time to be rude again?
25:09I'll be anything you want.
25:11Friend, BFF, anything.
25:13Anything.
25:14Anything.
25:15I won't tear you from life, I want to pay your love too.
25:20I've stomped on the floodlights and your ferry high comes down.
25:25I want to be flooding you now.
25:30I won't tear you from the ride, I want to see your eyelids sink.
25:35I've stomped on my own silence.
25:39Your ferry high comes down.
25:41I'm kind of afraid of you now.
25:43Hey, you.
25:44Hey, you.
25:46Hey, you.
25:48Hey, you.
25:50Hey, you.
25:52Hey, you.
25:54Hey, you.
25:56Hey, you.
25:58Hey, you.
26:00Hey, you.
26:02Hey, you.
26:03I won't tear you from the place you want to be.
26:06Don't turn the lights on you.
26:08So stomp on my own silence.
26:11If every high comes down, don't want to be flooding you now.
26:19Are you?
26:21Are you?
26:23Hey, you.
26:25Are you?
26:27Are you?
26:29Are you?
26:31Are you?
26:32Let me share you your top together
27:02Is this James Beaufort, the waterbed breaker sex instructor?
27:28Remember I told you it wasn't a waterbed.
27:32I never want to leave.
27:41Not today, not tomorrow, or a month more.
27:44I thought you didn't want to go to Oxford.
27:46I'm not talking about Oxford University.
27:53I'm talking about being here.
27:57Sometime tomorrow the world will catch up with us.
28:02You have just as many opportunities as everyone else.
28:14You must take hold of them, James.
28:17You have just as many opportunities as everyone else.
28:22I don't know if you want to go to Oxford University.
28:26I don't know if you want to go to Oxford University.
28:31whenever i'm at a loss or unhappy i make lists it keeps me motivated and clears headspace
28:44you're making a list for me what would you have as your first point
28:49i'd put sport music
28:58there's nothing better than a war because the sun goes down when the sun comes up
29:03oh and anything that has chilies in it i'd be able to eat my way through everything in a bangkok
29:11like fried insects yeah exactly okay and to read more more reading

30:04miss bell can you explain to me please
30:22miss 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
30:52the fact that most people are capable of much more than they give themselves credit for
30:57but i'm beginning to realize that i've tied myself to my future
31:00and as a result i didn't give the attention to many moments in the here and now that they deserve
31:06james beaufort
31:07james beaufort
31:10i now know that it's the stops we make along the way that make up our actual lives
31:21our life in the here and now
31:25and sometimes these very moments draw new exciting visions of the future for us in the sand
31:32this is the voicemail of cordelia beaufort

32:05i miss you mum
32:10let's meet up
32:12we realize that we are no longer afraid of our future
32:30because it is in the present that we decide if our dreams will come true
32:35and if we will become the people we always wanted to be
32:38it takes courage to think beyond the present
33:02but sometimes it's another person's gaze that builds our future for us in a new light
33:08i feel like i've arrived for the first time in my life
33:21hello
33:22anybody here
33:23i don't want to fast forward or rewind

33:53like a river that runs to the sea
33:57You gotta run to me.
34:27Mr. Beaufort is waiting inside.
34:57I believe I said take a seat.
35:27Your mother has suffered a stroke.
35:43Where is she?
35:47Cordelia is dead.
35:57I'm afraid I came away yesterday when they told me there was nothing more they could do.
36:10I finally had to leave the hospital.
36:14You didn't even call.
36:15Cordelia was so proud of your invitations to Oxford.
36:18I didn't want to affect your interviews.
36:19I already told you that keeping the investors happy is our top priority right now.
36:28We can't allow the value to collapse.
36:32Yes, I know that.
36:33Damn it, Gordon.
36:35Meredith needs to send a draft.
36:37It has to go out there.
36:38James, don't.
36:39Yes, damn it, Gordon.
36:40I understand that.
36:41The position of artistic director will be filled as soon as the press releases out.
36:45James!
36:46You fucking asshole!
36:46Stop it!
36:50Leave each other alone!
36:53No one.
37:07Leave me alone!
37:08You sat in the car and you didn't have a single word to say!
37:20I'm so sorry, James.
37:22Every person deserves a world of possibilities.
37:44To dream their own dreams.
37:46To be who they want to be.
37:48And to love whoever they want.
37:51And to love whoever they want.
37:51And to love whoever they want.
38:18I see my future more clearly than ever before.
38:40Finally, all the puzzle pieces are in place.
38:42All doors are open to us.
38:44We just have to walk through them.
38:46We all have to find them.
38:49And to love whoever they want.
38:50Our family will be very wonderful.
38:51And to love whoever they want.
38:51And to love for you.
