I have never experienced it, and I will never understand the pain of changing a class teacher

The movie is based on real events, and each child's story brings tears to the audience's eyes. At least I watched the whole movie with tears in my eyes, but the problem is the protagonist, because the whole movie is based on the publication "Street Diary", In this diary, there are only children's lives, and the details of the teacher's life are lacking, and under normal circumstances, the teacher will not have too many dramatic life experiences, which leads to the deviation of the entry point of the whole film, which makes the whole film Only the protagonist teacher is the most unreal character.

The junior high school I attended had a little shadow of the school in the movie. Although our junior high school did not discriminate against racism, but because it was compulsory education, many children whose parents were "scoundrels" also attended junior high school, and they were often assigned to the same class. This has led to the existence of "gangs" in classes and classes. In fact, this kind of situation has happened in many junior high schools, which is not uncommon, but my class is quite special. The students in our class often wander among "gangs", but they are not completely "gang" members, which leads to Classmates are often on the verge of fighting and being beaten. In the first year of junior high school, this phenomenon was more obvious, but it was well resolved by our class teacher.

She is a woman and she is not tall, but we all thought she was very tall at the time. Her Chinese class was very good. The funny thing is that I can't remember her class now. I only know that it was me. The best language class I've ever heard. How good she treated us to us, I can't remember now, all I know is that when she was in the class, no one of her classmates dared to "thorn", no one of her classmates dared to make her angry, even during the exam At that time, she was going to a meeting, let us not plagiarize, no one in the class dared to plagiarize (there may be plagiarism but I didn't see it...), in such a chaotic school, it happens almost every day Threats and intimidation, there will be group fights every once in a while, and every student in our class, especially those who wander between "gangs" can actually study with peace of mind, others may not imagine, but the whole group is " The feeling of "Going Up Every Day" is really great, especially in the environment of war and chaos, I feel as warm and comfortable as in a paradise until the day of the second day of junior high school.

Our head teacher suddenly told us that she wanted to have a child with her husband, but because she was the head teacher, she had no time to deal with related issues, so she had to stop all the work at hand and concentrate on giving birth to the child. We didn't understand it at the time, we just saw that the head teacher who scolded people without swearing, but used the spine of a book to beat people. Everyone was respectful and awe-inspiring crying in front of us. I can't remember how she cried now. , I can't remember what she said at the time, but that scene was always in my mind, circling like fragments, although we were very reluctant at that time, but no one had any way, and no one knew that what does it mean.

At the beginning of the third year of junior high, we changed the head teacher and the language teacher, and the whole class began to change. The students who wandered among the "gangs" started to cause trouble, and because they were not scumbags in the first place, it was impossible for them to cause trouble. The resistance caused many of my classmates to be beaten by people from several classes, and even several classes joined together to come to our class again to "kick the class". A classmate was pulled out by them and then beaten. No one moved, and neither did I. In that half term, two classmates were transferred to another school, and we also began to "give up on ourselves". Everyone in the English class talked. The English teacher found the principal, and the principal came to our class and said, "If you don't want to take English class, you can leave." , I'll find a place for you, don't delay other students." As a result, every time we take an English class, there are only 13 classes left in our class of more than 60 people. Although these 13 people include me, I don't like English either, I'm just too lazy move. They were filming small movies in the school conference room. Thinking about it now, if there was Douyin at that time, it is estimated that they would all be internet celebrities. In the end, the principal was unable to do anything, and finally deprived them of the right to leave the classroom. In this way, a class suddenly degenerates from a thriving class to a broken one, just because a class teacher has changed. If you haven't experienced it personally, who would dare to believe that this is true?

The screenwriter who wrote the movie listed all the difficulties of being a heroine (teacher), necklace, sex, husband's incomprehension, parents' disapproval, but none of them are true. If the screenwriter can have children as the only obstacle, the story will be more powerful, and the husband himself is not wrong in this matter (having children), and the two people who are not wrong can only face separation in the end. This should be in line with the facts, in line with the character curve, and withstanding the obstacles of scrutiny. The husband in the movie gives people a particularly disgusting feeling, very hypocritical. He has no good reason to divorce. He feels that he is simply jealous, which is obviously unreasonable. The paper-thin stone trips over, making the second half of the movie feel unreal.

In addition, the children's fear of being divided into classes is not reflected. Changing the head teacher means that they have to return to their old lives. This is also true. At least those of my classmates who were wandering between "gangs" returned to the gang. If this point can be reflected in the movie, and the protagonist can be embodied, I think this movie should be at the Oscar level, but unfortunately, it is just a little bit short, and now it seems that no one can have this kind of experience to make up for it. After all, it took the creator 6 years to complete such a film, and there is no such fool in the world anymore.
