"Notice" is an American high school student movie that is very American high school student movie. It also carries the three elements of Jump-style hot-blooded Japanese comics: friendship, hard work, and victory. The protagonist encounters problems, solves them gradually, achieves great success in stages, encounters setbacks, overcomes setbacks, and reunites. Think about whether this movie and some other movies are quite right. But after all, it is a movie from more than ten years ago, and it is obviously wrong to judge it by the old standard. The reason why a pattern can become a pattern must have its logic.
The hero B is a high school graduate honored with the achievement of "Total Rejection": not admitted to any university. In order to deceive his parents, he ps a letter of admission from a non-existent school. B originally thought that this would be able to hide from the sky, but this lie is getting bigger and bigger. First the school website, then the address, and even found the uncle of a good friend to pretend to be the principal. In the end, 300 students really thought it was a university and really came to report with tuition, luggage and parental expectations.
B wanted to tell them it was just a lie, but looking at the expectant eyes of these students who were not recognized by traditional schools, he changed his mind.
This is a most special university. The students are the teachers, and the students make the curriculum. The students here are just like SHIT, the abbreviation of this school, and they are "shit students" in the eyes of other students. But "shit" also has its own passion, its own talent. They make sculptures, sing rock music, and invent dishes. By comparing the life of B's good friend who was admitted to a top school and the final judgment on whether the university can obtain a certificate, the screenwriter asks us a question: What is education?
Is it like the students at Harmon University who listen to courses that they may not be interested in every day and race against time to get a good diploma to be successful, or like the SHIT University, who ask students what they want to study and inspire them creativity and ideals?
The answer given by this show must be the latter. As if the entire education system is killing the souls of the students themselves, turning them all into "caffeine-drinking lunatics". But the sense of absurdity created by the director when B auditioned at Harmon School and the disdain for general university education expressed by the resigned professor in his words were very one-sided. It seems that no student at all really loves the subjects they study in college. Some people really like economics, and some people really like calculus. The broad curriculum of the university is actually the opportunity to bring many students to explore. Fraternity isn't all bullying either. Some people really get a lifelong friendship out of it.
The writers did not dig deep into the topic of education. ta put the whole new, different university in complete opposition to the traditional university. The whole movie is a spree of negativity. Without the university admitting me, I started a university of my own. This kind of scene is really very satisfying. But it sacrifices thinking and reflection. Too many screenwriters want to convey the values that are bluntly conveyed through the lines of the protagonist B and the old professor. The opposition of rebellion cannot bring us progress, it can only bring us a dream.
Of course, it's a movie that looks very happy and perfect for an idle afternoon. The plot is smooth, the rhythm is tight, the theme is clear, and the idea is complete. The characters are a little flatter, but innocuous. It's just that you still have to study hard, you can't take it seriously.
