Feelings that can't be written down

I saw a recommendation for this video in a post.. So I searched for it. It feels to me like a sex-turned version of Dead Poets Society, but with a completely different dilemma for boys and girls. Boys need to choose between bread and ideals, while girls receive a rigorous education with the ultimate goal of baking bread for their husbands? The teacher said, I want to develop people who can lead the world, not the wives of these people. I just felt terrified when I heard it. There are still people who see being a housewife as a voluntary ambition in life, but is that really the case? Did they make a choice, or did the era and society in which they live force them to make a choice and make them mistakenly believe that everything is rational and willing? I was still thinking, and I thought of President Zhang Guimei. As for the film itself, as I was watching Dead Poets Society at the time, I couldn't tell the difference between everyone and their names (except for Goodwin, who impressed me too much with her deadly woman), and many scenes went unanswered. But in the end, the girls riding the bikes are so beautiful. I can't forget wishing every daughter a bigger dream. Instead of putting a burden that is not a vocation on your shoulders, silently supporting the realization of another man's dream. I hope every girl in the film can see a brighter light, and so do we in reality.

Mona Lisa Smile quotes

  • [about Vincent van Gogh]

    Katherine Watson: He painted what he felt, not what he saw. People didn't understand, to them it seemed childlike and crude. It took years for them to recognize his actual technique. To see the way his brush strokes seemed to make the night sky move. Yet, he never sold a painting in his lifetime. This is his self-portrait. There's no camouflage, no romance. Honesty. Now, sixty years later, where is he?

    Giselle Levy: Famous.

    Katherine Watson: So famous, in fact, that everybody has a reproduction. There are post cards...

    Connie Baker: We have the calendar.

    Katherine Watson: you go. With the ability to reproduce art, it is available to the masses. No one needs to own a van Gogh original, they can paint their own. Van Gogh in a box, ladies! The newest form of mass-distributed art; paint by numbers.

    Connie Baker: [reading from the box] "Now everyone can be van Gogh. It's so easy. Just follow the simple instructions and in minutes, you're on your way to being an artist."

    Giselle Levy: Van Gogh by numbers?

    Katherine Watson: Ironic, isn't it? Look at what we have done to the man who refused to conform his ideals to popular taste. Who refused to compromise his integrity. We have put him in a tiny box and asked you to copy him.

  • Betty Warren: You don't believe in withholding, do you?

    Katherine Watson: No. I do, however, believe in good manners. But for you, I'll make an exception.
