      I hope that people in China with this kind of disease can also have the right to enjoy life

      Finished watching it last night. It’s okay, I felt pretty good when I watched it last night, but when I woke up and wrote this this morning, after thinking about it, I still felt that this movie was a little bit worse, and what was wrong, I can’t really say it, I just thought it was a little bit worse. The thing that impresses me is that, after a long, long time, I can also inadvertently think of this movie. (For example, "The Elegance of the Hedgehog", "Millennium Actress",...

      Be friendly with your own shortcomings and be tolerant of your children and loved ones

      I watched a movie "I am No. 1". This movie tells the story of a little boy who behaved strangely and grew into an adult. When the little boy was young, he made strange sounds involuntarily. He was disliked by the teacher, laughed at by the classmates, was even kicked out of the class by the teacher, and was asked by the principal to change schools. I don't know how many schools this little protagonist has changed. In the end, he was lucky to meet a very tolerant headmaster. The...

      warrior, education, optimism

      2021.11.30 The movie that the teacher of the basic education in the university classroom showed us on Tuesday afternoon? As soon as I got back to the dormitory, I couldn’t help but write down my thoughts. The first sentence that comes to my mind after the movie is "The real warrior dares to face the bleak life" The hero is a real warrior. In pursuit of his dream, he has suffered so many scorns, strange eyes from others, his father's incomprehension, and his family relationship. Harmony,...

      Everyone has an "invisible Tourouttes" in their hearts

      A movie with a misleading name! At first, when I saw little Brad making strange noises while riding a bicycle, I thought it was a cliché story about a naughty child being educated and motivated to become the "No. 1", but as the plot progressed and the narration gradually realized that this strange sound was not The behavior is compounded by the taunting parents of the scorned classmates of the controlled and unacceptable teachers. At this point, the tears started to fall...

      Even James Walker's healing smile can't hide the flaws in this TV movie. Probably in the same series as "Deep in the Podium", a stereotyped and boring inspirational template, it would be great if the reality was like...

    • Brad Cohen: Maybe we should talk about the elephant.

      Recruiter: Elephant?

      Recruiter: No. The Americans with Disabilities Act doesn't allow me to ask you...

      Brad Cohen: I know, but I'd like to tell you just like I tell the kids in my classes. See, I explain to them that it's a brain thing that causes me to make strange noises, they're like sneezes, irrepressible. When you have to, you have to.

      Recruiter: How do they react?

      Brad Cohen: Once they understand, they're fine with it. It's never caused any problems in a classroom.

    • Brad Cohen: I was running out of time and money... and hope.
