      i have a poem

      Is it possible for children to prematurely accept the influence of what modern people call "art"? If children do have talents that are beyond the reach of ordinary people, will their future growth be greatly affected by this, and they will not fit in with the world, or will the world have no place for him? Other children continue to follow this society amid unknown problems, and will there be a huge black hole in his future? While watching the film, I thought about this...

      Far from the poem, to the poem, for the poem

      Lisa, the kindergarten teacher, is apparently considered tragic.

      When she knew that the poem was written for the teaching-assistant Megan, she broke into cry.

      It is so sad, but so natural. Megan is young, active and beautiful, she is so beloved by some alult poet. That's the same for the kid poet. Lisa is old, she is charming in some way, but can't enlighten the sparkle of poetry notion.

      we can consider the movie as a love story or an educational critics.

      Every...

      Poetry requires free will

      From a philosophical point of view, thinking about the nature of things is an instinct, and poetry is also a kind of thinking trajectory. Pursue happiness, sing praises for happiness, think about ways of happiness, and explain confused life. However, most humans do not care about the impact of poetry or philosophy on Human influence, for them to change the world, is it not science, but economics? Yes, so the poetic world is rare and rare, and the verses full of doubts are incomprehensible,...

      Should talent be buried?

      I spent most of the movie in WTF. The original intention of teachers must be good, hoping that gifted children can be valued and their talents will not be wiped out. But she chose all the wrong ways. Say the little boy's poems as his own, and take the little boy to various places without the consent of the little boy's parents. In the end, she must not want to really harm the little boy. It's just that, for her unfulfilled dreams, she imposed the hope of her own life on the little...

      fading poetry

      When it comes to poetry, it has always existed since ancient times. In the eyes of many people, they are just a kind of emotionless emotion, a form of artificiality, which is gradually ignored, forgotten, and less and less valued, which is different from life. It is related to the busyness and the barrenness of the spirit.

      Poetry is actually just an external expression of poetry. The poetry in the heart is invisible. Everyone has it. Some are hidden deep, and some are superficial....

      The most three-dimensional and complex character I have seen recently, all contradictions are integrated into one. She is not a genius but advocates genius. She is like a poet but lives in the worst reality. There are always such people in this world, right? Just like you and me. Maybe she was a genius too, but poets are not born to live in real life. Maggie Gyllenhaal is an actress I love very much. The years are not forgiving, but she is still in great shape. By the way, I want to revisit...

      The heroine's performance is very good, the music is beautiful, and the performance of the child makes people a bit dramatic. I don't think this is a genius, and I don't know what the heroine fell in love with him. Maybe it's just the fantasy art of the heroine falling into her own. in life. Maybe she felt that she had discovered a genius, but she felt that she didn't find anything special about the child, so she just read the poem for no reason, and finally, a little bit inexplicably called...

      The movie was too dull. And why do I feel that the female teacher has been doing it all the time. It's not to say that women who are literate are not literate, and the necessary bottom line is not fulfilled, and something will happen in the end. Children are the most calm and terrifying...

    Evaluation action

    Filled with psychological complexity and eerie humor, the film is a rich and twisted close-up of the characters  . (The Hollywood Reporter Review) Possibly the only movie about poetry with a strong ending like a thriller  . ("Guardian" review)
    Although the film is only 96 minutes long, the film has a rich and complex meaning. The triple tragedy unfolds slowly in a neat and delicate narrative. The fragile genius, the ordinary people who...

    Movie quotes

    • Jimmy Roy: The gold rusts, The warmth breaks And the light comes at morning, The police start their way to the dining hall, And the sound of World War Three is out there. Dust is out. And pray God, The wedding is coming. And the reciting poem is here.

    • Lisa Spinelli: Mesmerize Me, Butterfly. Forcing wings open-shut Thrust with purpose not known to me Not expert, in your grasses. In poison Mushrooms camouflage deliverance Today the garden teems with wood sprites Flashing blue Now white At the edge of seeing.

    • Simon: A home transformed by the lightning, The balanced alcoves smother This insatiable earth of a planet, Earth. They attacked it with their mechanical horns because they love you.
