Homework requested by the boss

I finished watching the movie "Freelance Writer" recommended by the trainer at 2 in the morning. I'm glad that I didn't waste two hours. I don't care if it will affect others' rest. I immediately pushed it to a few good friends on WeChat. Movies with various values, "Freelance Writer" shocked me a lot at the end of July.
1. Newcomer vs old man
When Irene told his father that she was going to be a teacher, her father's response was refusal. As a father, he wants his daughter to have a better career than this, and he also believes that his daughter will not last long.
The first time she was a teacher in high school, Mrs. Irene was obviously "naive", "pretentious" and even "fake" among a group of gangster children. No one paid any attention to her in a noisy classroom. She was like a failed clown. I tried my best to arouse the interest of my students but still got no response. She is just a new teacher, and her students are old people who have experienced various dark sides of society.
As a newcomer to the workplace, Irene soon found that the support she needed was not met by her superiors, so she turned to her superiors. Unfortunately, her request was rejected because each process and rules were The experience of the previous generation handed down for ten years cannot be changed because of her request.
2. Newcomers adapt to the environment
In order to let her students disarm her, Irene changed the way of class, let the students play games, and let the students realize that they should be ashamed of their previous bad habits in the game. She bought some notebooks herself, and let the children write their own stories in them, anything can be done. She denounced the racism with the painting mocking the Jews, and inadvertently discovered that the students were interested in the Holocaust. The salary was not enough, and her superiors could not meet her requirements. She went to the shopping mall for a part-time job and used the money to buy one copy of "Annie Diary" for each child, so that they could develop the habit of reading. She went to the hotel part-time to let the students come into contact with the unexpected world of Changti. Using her identity as a hotel staff, she invited the children to high places, and let the environment restrain their behavior. At the same time, she invited several people from the Holocaust. The survivors told the students about the scene of the massacre at that time, the old man spoke quietly, and the students listened quietly. Obviously, she is not that new compared to the newcomers who have just joined the job before, and she has gradually gained a little position among the students.
3. Old people VS newcomers
Through the diary, Irene learned about the living conditions of her students. When a boy shared his diary in front of the class at the beginning of his second year of high school, many students were touched, including Teacher Erin. At that time, she was able to basically master the class. Because of her influence, his student threw away the pistol, because of her influence, her student testified against her brother in court, and because of her influence, her student's grades improved step by step. She made it! But that's just the basics, and in the end, she asks the kids to write letters to the lady who takes in the protagonist in Anne's diary, and to meet the lady, the students run a fundraiser together. These are things they haven't done before, and everyone enjoys them. This is what children of that age should do, not fight, divide gangs into areas, and run away from bullets. By that point in the movie, the teacher has become an old man, and her child is just beginning a new path as a student.

In the end, the students graduated successfully, and many went to university, starting a different life. However, the husband's departure is a little regretful. Perhaps at the time of Teacher Irene, the happiness brought by taking that class was far more than the family. In my opinion, marriage is a matter of high investment and low income. If two people have different ideas, then it is better to get together and break up. It does not need too much retention and does not need to tear their faces, because it will be easy to meet in the future.
You are special. This is what Erin's dad said about her in the second half of the movie, and there's one more word, amazing. As a newcomer, Erin not only won the respect of the students, but also won the trust of her family and the recognition of the society.

This is a positive movie. The soundtrack is also great. Not overly provocative. He was saying one thing, when you reopen a new field, you will encounter all kinds of obstacles, from family members to the outside world, there are many and mixed voices. If you want to do well, then you have to pay. While paying, you need to find ways and innovate. Many times, old experience does not mean that it applies to anyone and everything. Never give up, others can give up on you, your lover can leave you, but you can't give up on yourself. To quote coach Anxi: "Once you give up, the game will end early." I
hope we can still say thank you to ourselves when we look back on today's day in the future.
