"Between the Walls": No matter how old-fashioned the story is, it needs to touch the heart
A question that has puzzled me for a long time is why so many Chinese-language media must literally translate "Entre les murs" into "Between the Walls", when English-speaking countries call it "The Class", we still resolutely refuse to. Translating this suddenly brilliant French film into "Classroom", even that helps to understand the film's theme.
This stubborn persistence is admirable, although it's more unacceptable, like a French movie, like Between the Walls itself. In...

Talking about the disputes between teachers and students in a middle school, there are a lot of dialogues, and the camera is not clever. If you are not interested in the school theme, you may feel bored. I think it's quite new, because I haven't seen stories from the teacher's point of view, and I've seen too many teachers' flat images. The students' performances had no trace of acting, and the editing was tight and compelling. The issues of education are similar, but the unique feature is the...

"Teacher, I didn't learn anything."
"The Class" might have been set in any classroom in the Western world, and I believe most teachers would recognize it. It is about the power struggle between a teacher who wants to do good and students who disagree about what "good" is. The film is so fair that neither side is seen as right, and both seem trapped by futility.
The classroom in "High School Classroom" may be the classroom of any western country, and I believe many teachers feel the same way. This is a power struggle...

[Translation of the film review from Frederic Miguel: Editor-in-Chief of a well-known French film review website] Link to the original text: https://www.avoir-alire.com/entre-les-murs-la-critique
Director Kang Tai went deep into the "Problem Junior High School" in the "Education Priority Area [1]" in Paris and showed its problems one by one. Few films have been as realistically shot as this one. A classic.

10 points, I watched this movie ten years later. I watched it at the right time. If it were ten years ago, I would have concluded that I still did not have the ability to appreciate this movie. This is one of the rare films that has won the Palme d'Or at Cannes, and perhaps there will not be such a similar work for many years. It is unique and profound enough for the audience to reflect after the film. Based on the original novel "Between The Walls" by... The bad student who was judged as "no help" by the teacher

The painful two hours, the narrow space in the classroom, the overwhelmed dialogue between you and me, the hodgepodge of feminist racial immigration, the most important thing is how to choose between education and human nature, the screenwriter did not give an answer, only Leaving empty classrooms and an awkward order after getting out of...

When I saw this, not long after I went to work, I felt that I fully understood the teacher's confusion; now, I feel that it was his excessive tolerance that caused a series of contradictions. The classroom must maintain order, and the teacher is not a spiritual mentor to understand the hearts of the students. If the director can't maintain order, how can he mediate a group of children of non-professional actors to complete the...

François Marin: I didn't asked you what you liked in the class, I want to know what did you learned from it.
Esmeralda: [on Plato's book at the same time she provokes the teacher over a past incident between them] I guess that's not a tramp's book, huh?
François Marin: Khoumba, if we start choosing names to suit all your origins, it'll never end.
