Try not to be spoiled. There is only one sentence in the center of the play: ——if the glove don't fit, you're all full of shit! I watched this film at least 4 times, and then I determined that this sentence from the Legal Society is the center of the play. The protagonist went to high school for 7 years. 7 years. Not because he couldn't graduate, but because he didn't know how to face life after high school. Many comments expressed that they did not understand. In fact, as long as the high school in Beijing is replaced by a university in our country, I believe many people will immediately feel the protagonist’s resistance to society-there are also many "rejections" in our country who have finished university and graduate school, and graduated with a doctoral degree. "Integrate into society". The male protagonist refused to integrate into the society, one is because his father, the rich man Mr. Wilder, is busy with work and has always ignored the family relationship, which aroused the rebellious psychology of young Wilder; the other is because the male protagonist who lacks family care regards the school as a home: here are some All his friends, all the people he cares about, the relationship between them is campus life, and the male protagonist is unwilling to leave them behind just because he needs to graduate. In order to highlight the contradiction, a negative role is also set up in the play, a high-achieving student from a medical family, and a rival of the protagonist. Everything the villain does is to prepare for an excellent integration into society. In order to intensify the contradiction between the two, a dog-blood love triangle is also interspersed in the play. In the end, the protagonist was framed and violated the school rules and was to be expelled according to the regulations. At this time, the protagonist’s popularity in the school played a role: everyone was helping him find a way to win the appeal. And the strategy given by the legal society at this time is: ——if the glove don't fit, you' shit! The extension to this sentence is: "When the law is not practical, it is just nonsense!" At first, I looked at the appeal process, but I didn’t give up, but I read it several times and finally understood it: First of all , He did not emphasize that he was framed, because it may be meaningless to prove it-maybe he can pull the other party into the water, but he can't get rid of the crime. Therefore, in his final statement, he frankly admitted his mistake and expressed his willingness to accept punishment. This is critical. This is to show respect for school rules. In a fair society, as long as you show respect for the other party, the other party should respond with equal respect. So the next step will be able to demonstrate the significance of this approach. Then, the protagonist expresses his willingness to accept punishment and leave school. However, he didn't want to leave the school like this. He stayed in this school for 7 years. He knows people who care about all the people here. He wants to leave this place he loves with honor. He asked-take the graduation exam and leave as a graduate. As we mentioned earlier, he asked to be treated with respect by the school. There is another background: in European history, when criminals believe that the law is unfair, they can ask for a duel instead of trial. We have seen this in "Game of Thrones". The little devil asked the Red Viper to take his place in the duel against the Devil Mountain, and let the gods judge whether he was innocent or not. When the protagonist appealed, it was not a few days before the graduation exam, and the protagonist always repeats the grade because he fails the exam. Therefore, his request is tantamount to proposing to use graduation exams instead of school rules to judge himself. We can see the discrepancies between the implementation of the school regulations and the actual situation-the school regulations are set up for the school to have a good environment, and the purpose is to eliminate the black sheep in the school; the reason why the school regulations have to expel the black sheep is to not affect other students Normal life and studies; then what they are facing now is a young man who loves the school and wants to take the graduation exam, and the students around them all expressed their support for this young man. So at this time the implementation of school regulations conflicts with the spirit of the school regulations itself, so the school regulations have become nonsense. The subsequent voting also reflects this: some people represent the rigid implementation of the school regulations, while other people are more willing to embody the spirit of the school regulations. It was not a few days before the graduation exam, and the protagonist would still be expelled if he could not pass the graduation exam. Therefore, more people decide to give him a chance to fight with themselves, and use this method to respect each other. The legal spirit of the United States was inherited from the European Middle Ages, but it has not changed much to this day. As for whether the protagonist can win the duel, it’s not Spoiler. Through these experiences, the protagonist found that he was no longer suitable for campus life, and decided to step out of school and stop being a strange repeater. I like American campus movies better than Hollywood blockbusters. Because it is so different from the domestic youth growth environment, it is far greater than the difference between the adults of the two countries. The campus film is made for young people, and the ideological difference in it is even more straightforward. Blockbuster movies will obscure cultural characteristics because of the pursuit of universal values. Some people say that this film is about the decadence and hedonism of American teenagers, but they disagree. Although the protagonist has avoided facing the society for a while, he is not avoiding himself, but facing his own confusion. Only in this way can he walk out of the school without any doubts. From then on, facing any problem is only an external problem.
I think this is the true juvenile spirit that modern campuses should nurture.
