The film brings me more resonance than depression.
A group of hopeless children
Liu Yuling's remarks really happened when I was in school: the teacher was so angry that the students in the class were crying and trembling and said something like that - giving up on yourself from now on will only make life worse in the future. If you don't know how to live and don't work hard, you will only become the bottom person in the future. Up to now, those students who used to make trouble and truant from school or even gave up on themselves to be independent, some were working on the assembly line, doing jobs that could be replaced by machines at any time, some driving a large truck for a long distance and died unexpectedly in their early 20s. People who took a car loan and a mortgage loan and went to gamble to borrow money... People who think that even if they don't need to be educated in school, they will definitely have a way to make money when they grow up, when they really grow up, they have already been left behind in life.
Those numb and indifferent adults
The learning environment during middle school allowed me to see two other types of teachers besides the teachers who teach and educate people. One is to treat students as learning machines. For students who are unable to learn easily, they often talk about all kinds of completely negative or even filthy insults and say them by name in the class. The other type is mediocre numbness, with no management, no guidance, and no responsibility. Teaching becomes a task. No matter how disruptive the students are, they still recite the scriptures on their own. The students are really numb and callous, and any sense of responsibility and enthusiasm is gone. In such an environment, either children without ideas become slaves to learning, or children with ideas are suppressed by nature. It is precisely because of these experiences that I do not have much affection for the education industry or even for some teachers.
After work, there are some friends who are engaged in the medical industry. Whenever they talk about the details of their promotion, the operation of manufacturers, internal conflicts and other problems, they have the same chills as the education industry.
Sometimes we will say that it is obviously two industries with the meaning of "saving", why do we see more numbness and indifference after peeling off that layer of skin?
persistent painful childhood memories
In the movie, the protagonist's childhood painful experiences flashed from time to time, which affected his character and concept when he grew up. Reminds me of a workshop I once participated in. The organizer asked everyone to recall their childhood experiences or feelings. When each of us said it, we suddenly realized that even the smallest thing that happened in our childhood actually determined us. Current character and destiny: A colleague failed the exam because he made a mistake when he was a child, so now he has to re-examine everything before he dares to make a decision, which has even affected his normal work and rest and mental state; a colleague because of his parents The repressive education method made her feel inferior and still has a pessimistic attitude towards herself and the future...
However, these problem films have been brought out with you, but the solution has not been found, which is what makes this film different from the chicken soup films like the spring of the cattle class.
You see, the reality is like this, and everything is not getting better, you can't get out of these shackles at all. Human loneliness is always there, the spirit is still the body, the education is still the future, the teacher is still the student, everyone is a lonely and powerless existence. If you can't heal yourself, you can't rescue others. It is so difficult to establish a spiritual connection with others.
It's what I've been thinking about lately, it's not that you warmly greet or rely on it, it's the connection, just like the fat girl in the movie who wants Henry's hug and can't, because the connection is two-way, and everyone is inside. It is an isolated island, with its own stubborn existence, the soul is imprisoned in an empty shell, and others can't get in and don't want to let others in. Without establishing contact with others, the sense of loneliness will be even worse, until the soul becomes a trapped beast under the numbness and indifference. Week by week.
