16-year-old Claude is a wise boy who does not like to talk. The family had a disabled father who could not get out of bed, and his mother left him early. The misfortune of the family background brings the audience into a more receptive state of mind. The teacher, Gilman, discovered that he had a talent for writing essays, and that he was imaginative, which he did not have. Gilman wants to carry the dreams of his youth on his students, so he helps Claude as much as possible. At the same time, Claude also needs a teacher who appreciates him. With such a starting point, Claude started one of his classmates, Raphael, who chose one of his poor math students, and used the name of supplementary classes to spy on other people's lives.
Claude began to give a detailed description of the life of his classmates mainly in realism, and added some modifications of his own. But there is a gap between reality and novel creation, and reality does not have as many conflicts and roller coaster plots as novels. Teacher Gilman's comments on Claude's creations added some of his own ideas to Claude. So that the later creations have more and more imaginative elements in it, and at the same time, they are also mixed with many real scenes. This makes Claude unable to stop, and Gilman is also in the play, which makes him not very clear about which Claude is real and which is Claude's own imagination, but these can be said to come from Gilman giving Ke Lauder's suggestion.
Because of the difference of opinion between the two during the creative process, Claude deliberately said that he did not want to continue writing. He should know what Gilman expected of him, so that Gilman committed his life as a teacher to help students steal exam papers. Fail. At this time, Gilman was completely fascinated. Claude continued to work, ending his peeps on the Raphael family with a peaceful ending.
For the next creation, Claude then cast his eyes on Gilman's house, visited Gilman's wife, and determined with a certain tentative tone that Gilman and his wife did not want children because of his wife's infertility, and deliberately Said Gilman told him that it directly led to the departure of his wife, and even felt that her husband's sexual orientation had changed. After Gilman read the passage written by Claude about his wife, he was mad, and even thought that his wife had had a relationship with his student Claude, which further strengthened the idea of his wife leaving. All of this was painful for Gilman, but could be a treat for Claude. It reflects Claude's distorted thinking that he wants to see the family separated because of his childhood misfortune. This has been reflected in the fact that he wanted to put a tragic ending for the Raphael family. In order to find a helper who agrees with him, he abandoned his original idea and took the opportunity to "win over" Gilman.
At the end of the film, Gilman sat lonely on a park bench, and Claude walked over with a relaxed face, saying that they could enter the room together and continue to create. At this time, we suddenly realized that Claude has been looking for a helper who can help him continue to create, and Gilman is that person!
The director took us to experience the addiction of entering a room. During the process of watching, it was like being there, as if he was the bystander, watching all these things happen in an orderly manner! Like a dream, like a game. When it was time for the subtitles, the director patted us on the shoulder and said, eh! It's over, wake up!
