I went to the movie viewing & director meeting today. After the screening, the director said: 1. Everyone may be labeled, and this label may accompany a lifetime, but this may not be the case. For example, Meng Dan, a hopeless "bad boy" in the eyes of the principal, did not actually steal money, but was convicted of prejudice and taken away by the police. We don’t define our own life with labels, and we don’t rush to label others.
2. This movie isn't about teaching people how to be successful. The ending doesn't make the teacher go back to school and go on tour with the choir. The others don't all become singers, they don't make a lot of money, they don't pursue universal meaning. success, but to find one's own way of life, to be ordinary or extraordinary.
3. Meng Dan's smile when he was taken away is not to laugh at the teacher, but to show his confusion and helplessness about his fate and his understanding of the teacher
4. The fire that burned down the school was set by "Bad Boy" Mengdan on purpose, waiting for the teacher to take the children away. He burned the symbol that symbolized the old education system, and let the teacher lead the children to usher in a new humanization.
In this way, Mengdan is really a very important baritone~
All in all, it was a valuable experience.
