马铃薯剧情介绍

马铃薯是一部喜剧片，故事发生于1990年（黑人领袖Nelson Mandela坐监狱就快被释放），一个出生于普通家庭背景的小男孩叫John Milton（Troye Sivan饰）。他获得了奖学金，在南非一个精英私人学校读书。他要适应新学校与新家。他品行兼优，但却与这里的“问题学生”格格不入。但通过英语文学老师Guv（John Cleese饰）帮助下与一系列努力之后最后得到认可。

It's South Africa, 1990. Two major events are about to happen: The release of Nelson Mandela and, more importantly, it's Spud Milton's first year at an elite boys only private boarding school. John Milton is a boy from an ordinary background who wins a scholarship to a private school in Kwazulu-Natal, South Africa. Surrounded by boys with nicknames like Gecko, Rambo, Rain Man and Mad Dog, Spud has his hands full trying to adapt to his new home. Along the way Spud takes his first tentative steps along the path to manhood. (The path it seems could be a rather long road). Spud is an only child. He is cursed with parents from well beyond the lunatic fringe and a senile granny. His dad is a fervent anti-communist who is paranoid that the family domestic worker is running a shebeen from her room at the back of the family home. His mom is a free spirit and a teenager's worst nightmare, whether it's shopping for Spud's underwear in the local supermarket, or sneaking food into her handbag at school functions. Armed with only his wits and his diary, Spud takes us from illegal night swimming to the red-hot furnace of the cricket pitch, from ghostbusting to a catastrophic family vacation. He also invites us into the mind of a boy struggling to come to terms with a strange new world, a boy whose eyes are being opened to love, friendship and complete insanity.

一句话评论：南非的艺术作品总要表现种族问题。坏孩子:就是要和别人不一样。我爱戳希文的眼睛。关于成长。从Spud看南非文化。To all the new beginnings。
