"Justice doesn't mean putting the bad guys in jail, it just means someone has to pay for the crime."
"The school is like the city, and the city is like a prison." The
film is dark from the start, and the tone is also dark Colorless, and after reading it, I feel again that this is just a story like spring breeze and rain. Mixed things up about human nature, social systems, racial violence.
Mr.L, a newly appointed teacher, is about to face a group of advocates of racial violence, a group of teenagers who do not expect to live past the age of 18, a group of desperate, numb human beings on their own. When she couldn't wait to say hello to the students with excitement, she was only met with ridicule and disdain. She gradually got to know this group of students and saw the society clearly. She kept trying to use her humble strength to wake up this group of people. The dark background of the society, the suppression and unsupported by the school leaders, the indifference of her husband, the economic Conditional restrictions, these are all not a problem for her. There is only love, only intention, and she actually influenced them, a group of lovely children.
Mr.L tamed them one by one with a copy of "Annie Diary". Each child seemed to have opened up a new world. They greedily read a Jewish story, as if they were for their racial disputes. A dead friend mourns the same. Then they alerted the entire school, the leaders of the entire educational institution. Finally, happy ending, all students and teachers will complete their studies together.
The film is a true story change, also known as Street Diary, which vividly reflects racial issues in America. This is just a movie, and in reality, this problem is not solved in a few months or a few years. Of course, we have also seen a lot of hope and a lot of moving points. The radiance of humanity and love shines in the eye-catching corner.
Movies seem to be designed to do just that. It's just that some are obvious at a glance, and some need to be discovered by you.
