Misleading American Values

Samson 2022-04-22 07:01:32

A very touching little film, the story is very layered, and the relationship between the characters is also worth remembering. If you just look at it as a story, it is really good. There is family, friendship, commitment, persistence, and more companionship in the story. After reading this story, my heart is very turbulent. The ending of the story is very satisfactory. Everyone got what they wanted. I was moved by the relationship between the male protagonist and the niece, and also felt comforted that the male protagonist's mother got the equation proof. The image of the American team is really suitable for promoting the American spirit: integrity, sunshine, casualness and warmth, and the character of the little girl is also quite in line with American values: smart, confident, fighting injustice and delicate emotions. But I feel that the story itself is divorced from objective reality, and everywhere it preaches liberal democracy in the United States. You must know that the children under the elite education in the United States are not necessarily easier than the children who have been studying hard for ten years in China, and their spare time will also be spent in tuition and interest classes. The opportunity to enter the elite class is only for the sake of family, I don’t think it is realistic, and even if the uncle thinks about the girl’s future and entrusts her to the grandmother for training, it does not mean that you can’t meet, just to accompany and fulfill the promise to the elder sister. Children stay by their side and show warmth. This is the promotion of American values. If it is obviously inappropriate to transplant this value to our national conditions, do you want a future or freedom, do you want the company of your family or study hard under the best conditions. I watched a street interview a few days ago. The question was how to see the United States. Most young people are full of yearning. After reading it, I couldn't believe it. Under the background of the current Sino-US relations are so bad and China is being suppressed wildly, there are still so many young people who like the United States. I think that the export of American culture has definitely played a big role. Good stories like "Girls of Talents" are undoubtedly yearning for young people who don't understand the actual national conditions of the United States: where neighbors are harmonious, they treat their elders as brothers, freedom and equality, and one step to the sky. (Is it because Sister Feng also went to the United States with this idea in mind). Besides, the girl at the end of the story still went to an elite school, so is the previous lawsuit for custody rights a false proposition, because the cause of the lawsuit is that the uncle does not let the child enter the elite school. I hope that China can release some good films to promote Chinese culture and Chinese values ​​as soon as possible, so that our spirit can be spread to the world as soon as possible.
