Seeing the second half of the story, it is impossible to tell what is true from what is false. Did Claude have a private meeting with Esther? If so, why was Mr. Germain present at the time to comment? If not, after meeting with Esther several times, is Esther's reaction true or false? Is it true or false that the Rafa family is moving to China? Did Rafa kiss Claude again? From the reaction of Rafa when the first three took a shower in the locker room of the gym, it can be seen that he likes Claude, so if they really kiss, it can make sense, but why Germain asked Claude, "Do you think he Would be interested in the kiss of two teenagers", Claude said that he misunderstood, and then changed what happened that night to watching Rafa's parents have sex? That is to say, he thought that Germain's interests were him and Rafa before, but after finding out that was not the case, he projected his own desires in the story on Rafa's mother Jeanne. In this way, the identity of the manipulator has been transferred from the teacher Germain to Claude - from another scene that is more obvious, that is, the teacher in the classroom gives the student a diagram on the blackboard to the student who turns to the teacher on the blackboard. Diagram showing the transition of the controller.
But I feel that the manipulator of this story is Claude from beginning to end: when he handed in the composition for the second time, Claude handed over the composition of due on Monday to the teacher before school on Friday, regardless of the teacher's "use of the weekend to Polishing and polishing” suggested that he would study mathematics on the weekends, put the composition in the hands of the teacher and left without looking back. At this time, the characteristics of his controller appeared, and the teacher could no longer refuse his story, nor could he control the trend of the situation, and was restrained by the students. Later, he stole the math test paper for Claude, picked up the story that Claude threw in the trash can in the classroom, and was dragged by Claude into a place of nowhere.
That is to say, not from the middle, such as the classroom scene, but from the beginning, from the beginning to the end, the students are the controllers, and the teachers and us off-screen are the ones who are manipulated. The first time the teacher gave a suggestion, the student immediately revised the scene of "Father Rafa walks into the room", that is to say, the story written by Claude has always been just a story. The real one is the teacher, it is us. So after reading the composition, the teacher who thought that Rafa really committed suicide and hurriedly called to confirm, the teacher who thought Claude slept with his wife's anger and lost control, and the us who were confused and couldn't tell the truth outside the story, They are all but expected to be manipulated under Claude's control.
Writing these is just a little bit of clarifying a question in my heart, so the relationship between the story and the truth, the reader and the author is not so intertwined and complicated, the level of the film is blurred in the middle, but in the beginning and the end The explanation may imply that the story is the simplicity of the story. Maybe Claude and Rafa are just staying on the level of good friends, maybe Claude has never been alone with Rafa's mother. He went deep into Rafa's house step by step in the "imagination" that was constantly awakening, and wrote a story of entering the house. But in reality, he has never had close contact with Rafa's mother or Germain's wife. From beginning to end, he was just sitting on the bench with Mr. Germain in the last scene and watching the building in front of him. There, use your imagination to construct a story that is enough to influence and control the lives of others.
