regain pride

The era of free competition is actually an era of inferiority for the whole people, because no matter what, there is always something you cannot compare with others, even if you are a genius, even if you are a successful person. There are very few people who are proud, especially in high school. Everyone has the possibility to compare you. There are many people who are disappointed in life. In a society of free competition, people will involuntarily start to adapt, adapt to what they can and can not. , the power of the individual is always limited, gradually stop trying, only do a few things that you think you can do, and do nothing all your life in a trance, this is the kind of inferiority buried in the whole people.
What's even more frightening is that we don't think we are inferior as we actually are, but we are swaying in a state of self-deception, emphasizing personality development, thinking that we can be superior in some respects, just as the mainstream media promotes, fighting with passion. ,achive dreams. In fact, if you think about it carefully, what kind of dream can one person achieve with his hard work? That's just the slogan of "Super Girl, Fast Boy", right? If you think about it carefully, the obstacles that block your dreams in juvenile comics are all obvious opponents, which can be solved with bright real swords and guns, and there can be an entity that makes you throw your head and blood, but in reality, there are only possible There are dispensable obstacles and layers of obstruction, some are just illusory opponents and endless competitors, it's like being alone at sea, you know the road is difficult, but you can't even tell the direction, even the opponent. Can't see, let alone who to fight with. Reality is more fictional than games, and people without dreams are lonelier than those who are in the cold.
At this time "collective" is a good synonym for "dream".
When you're alone, you need more help than fight, but in a group it's different. The birth of a new collective is like a light in the dark night, and many teenagers who are accustomed to idleness seem to see the light and direction. We can see that this system attracts the most inferior, the frustrated, the marginalized in normal society, and in the wave, there is Tim the cowardly and timid, the one who shoots himself in the end, and the fat blond Niu, her friend is very good and has a handsome boyfriend. Their energy has been stimulated like never before. For the first time, they felt needed and needed, so they also had love, because it was for the collective, So a little bit of motivation is sublime, a little bit of dedication is also exciting, like an addiction, everyone experiences the sublime sense of uniformity, the strength of the collective, and the pride in the collective.
It is often said that our generation of young people has no collective consciousness, self-centeredness, and no lofty ideals such as serving the motherland. Then I think that first of all, because we do not feel needed, we are only struggling to live a little life, seeking a life from the society, not nothing. Giving without regrets, we ask for compensation, so we are very picky, there is no collective guarantee for us, everything is obtained by endless competition, and the result is that most of the people are below the average, the young people in this country often feel inferior, Inferiority is our main theme! If I talk about a little collective, a little ideal, and a little bit of pride here, I dare not say what the consequences will be.

    The script is excellent, but I still don't like Dennis Gansel's narration like boiled water...

    The plot progresses a bit strangely. Collectivism tends to attract young people who lack a sense of belonging because of their differences, and it makes sense that they can gain blood-thumping power in the neat step. But wearing a school uniform with a logo gesture goes viral? The mere form and lack of a provocative theoretical core makes the story unconvincing.
