The film has a solid narrative, and is a masterpiece of thought depth and technical expressiveness. The classroom in this film mirrors the French modern society, that is, the classroom is the same as the society. Both of them are eager for order and balance under the premise of agreeing with the three principles. The ultimate goal is to protect the interests of all parties and achieve happiness and progress.
The film opened up another runway for a fascinating impromptu documentary feature film. It used real teachers and students through filming a school in Paris for more than a year, and focused the theme of the film on the teacher-student relationship. The film focuses closely on every action in this room, and does not deviate from the life of the students or the situation of the teacher outside the school. Even if it happens entirely in the classroom, it still provides a rich microcosm of the current multi-ethnic population phenomenon in France. Although the events in the film are based on real events, the film is still a fictional work rather than a documentary.
The film is not limited to the technical level, but shows how far contemporary realist films can go in terms of fluidity and thoughtfulness. The audience who can accept this film the most is probably the teachers. It is undoubtedly designed to portray that teaching is one of the most difficult professions.
The film feels like gurgling spring water, moisturizing things silently. Discuss the most controversial youth education issues in France: such as whether the teacher is the eternal authority, how to detect and avoid racial discrimination in schools, and how to educate students in the problematic neighborhoods with immigrants and high unemployment. These sharp social problems were resolved by the director with the warmth between teachers and students, and carefully dissected with the child's tone and perspective. The lead actor of the film is also a teacher in reality. As an actor, it is a challenge and an adventure to express his work in life, and he is a great success in the film.
The film is a very French film, and the themes it touches are the hot topics of the current French society, school education and doubts about the effectiveness of the existing education system. It discusses the significance and feasibility of French secondary education in an enhanced form. At the same time, the rebellion and doubt of adolescents are topics that are shared by the whole world. Therefore, this French film with a strong social and cultural background has a broader meaning than the purely closed French petty bourgeoisie film. In the film, the director did not compromise on the discipline and system that school education should have, and devoted a lot of understanding and care to teenagers with different life backgrounds.
