In fact, this is a typical positive energy movie made in the United States. Some people criticize it for being a little old-fashioned in some parts and too idealistic. These are indisputable facts. American movies, even high-quality movies, often have a tendency to be templated and industrialized. This is a bad thing for directors, because they cannot better express what he wants to show to the audience. something, that is, the authorization of the film cannot be achieved. I also think this is one of the big flaws of American cinema, a lot of films have lost their power to move people because of too much work, but this one is different. Although it is somewhat idealized, and it goes a little bit into the stereotype of exaggerating the characters, it is still a touching masterpiece. It may also be because I personally (or the mainstream crowd) prefer this kind of discussion on the teacher-student relationship, awakening the softness of the problem students' hearts, and seeing people put down racial prejudice and grudges out of trust and love. It is not so cruel or even a little bit. Not so real work, so I gave it five stars without thinking about it knowing that the film is not a masterpiece. After the film ended, I also asked myself inwardly, in such a film, even though the teacher in the film has a great and noble personality, can the film itself really move those "problem students"? If it was just photographed for ordinary people who were born in a "non-war environment" in a "non-war environment", would they produce any deeper thoughts and actions besides being moved by it? I do not know.
Eileen, the female teacher played by Hilary Swank in the film, is undoubtedly a noble and respectable great teacher. Needless to say, Hilary's acting skills are enough to prove her performance in "Million Dollar Baby". What an excellent actress. But in reality, it is cruel and unrealistic for teachers to hold three jobs, stay in school until late, and even give up their married life for the sake of students. Therefore, this kind of story of teachers doing their best for students can only be an example, and it is difficult to generalize. It's amazing enough that she saved a class of students from injustice and racial hatred, but "they" will never be able to save all those students who live in dire straits, which is also the most embarrassing fact for us outside the show. . In addition to Erin, Amela Staunton, who played the mean but realistic grade leader, also contributed an excellent performance, although the role of the performance was not likable, but persuasive enough (who made her play the role of Ugly) What about Mrich w playing the annoying teacher is really easy to catch).
In addition to the teacher, the students are also very cute, like Ben, the only white boy in the class, who is a little stupid, the rebellious boy Tito who loves to wear caps and graffiti, and Andre, the black boy who is discriminated against and under pressure to survive, look. The beautiful girl Gloria with the temperament of Taimei, the smart African-American girl who hates stereotypes, the Cambodian girl with highlighted hair, and the straight-talking and stubborn Eva who is the focus of the film, and so on. Each student is unique and endearing, and although they all seem hopeless at the beginning of the film, that's the charm of this type of film, isn't it? Face some embarrassment and disaster, and see that no matter how difficult and bad places are, a flower can grow.
I have always believed that it is difficult for teachers and students to become real "friends", because there is always a wall between them, and it is difficult to cross their boundaries even if they are close. This also led me to reject being a teacher in the future, because I felt that it would be very sad if the sincerity of my efforts could not be responded to. But as I got older, I gradually realized that this kind of private relationship is very polite and decent. It ensures that the two sides do not fall into embarrassing situations. They have met too many good teachers and are in normal school. In the environment, it is difficult not to have a vision for the profession of teaching again. After all, how rewarding and seductive it is to teach students to be better people. But on the other hand, I also imagined that if I really became a teacher, I would be the kind of irresponsible guy who doesn’t want to offend people, just doing his job and giving up moral education, or being stern but not letting his students go The kind of teacher who goes with the flow...? Off topic, but what I want to say is that being able to provoke thinking while watching the movie is a no-brainer that I'm very immersed in this movie.
