This is a film whose concept is greater than its content and form, and it is difficult to discuss the good and bad of the film itself without values. This article also discusses the value theme of the film—the method and meaning of education.
Personally, I believe that the best education should be to provide choices, not to force them. The elite education that Dad completed by himself - freedom, equality, erudition, health, tenacity, these qualities are all right, but the problem is that they are not The result of children's choice after real practice and thinking is the continuation of the father's values. The father does not provide the opportunity to choose. They are allowed to like knives and fishing rods, but they do not have the opportunity to choose video games. The idea of liberty advocated by my father is the opposite. The open discussion seems to be equal, but how can a child have enough knowledge and logic to fight against an adult? This is obviously bullying, so the father seems to provide space for free dialogue, but the truth is Everyone has no choice.
In addition, I always doubt whether children can really understand the content of their citations. After all, those theories belong to the thinking and summary of the external world. Do a group of children who have only been exposed to patriarchal power really understand the meaning of human rights restricting power? Maybe it's because he doesn't understand that the son shouts: We don't understand the world at all, if they don't happen to be written in a certain book.
There is a similar dialogue in Good Will Hunting, where the psychologist played by Robin Williams says to the genius played by Matt Damon: "You're just a kid and you don't know what you're talking about. So ask your art, You might make superficial arguments in art books, you know a lot about Michelangelo, his political zeal, his relationship with the Pope, his sexuality, you know him well? But you don't even know the Sistine Chapel. You don't know the smell of women, do you? Have you ever tried standing there, looking up at the famous paintings on the ceiling? You must have never seen them, have you? If I ask about women, you can tell me a lot, and you may have been there a few times. bed, but you can't tell the real joy in waking up next to a woman. You're young and tough, and if I talked to you about war, you'd throw Shakespeare at me and recite "To the battlefield, my dear." friend of yours", but you've never been in battle, never tried to hold your best friend's head in your arms, watch him take his last breath, stare at you, ask you for help."
So, what is the problem? Books are not everything, neither is the forest, nor is it rock climbing and hunting. Dad's biggest problem is that he keeps the children away from the real world in a self-righteous way, but wants them to know the so-called truth. The result is that although the eldest son has received letters from several top universities, it is difficult to communicate with the girl normally.
Finally, let’s talk about movies. The setting of putting the family in the forest is very good. It uses spatial isolation to express the opposition of ideas. Straight to the point, Lao Tzu is anti-material, anti-business, and anti-pop culture. A group of "savages" in a civilized society, with the attitude that everyone in the world is drunk and awake alone. Both sides feel that the other is ignorant and ignorant. You see, there is no mutual understanding between civilizations.
