#WednesdayMovie# Issue 42 "Starting Line"
Recommended star: Samsung
Key words: anxiety; pain point; luck
Movies about education always seem fake. The angelic efforts of teachers and epiphany-like awakening of students are all very fake. While India originally liked mainstream movies that made movies very fake (mainly referring to dancing), there were several movies that talked deeply about education.
For example, this "Starting Line", although it is not profound, still talks about the issues of education and class very well, and the point of entry into the story is very interesting.
Two couples who have been very successful in their own class, they know that they have suffered too much and the environment around them is too deficient, so they want their children to jump this class and go to that respectable class.
Children are different from the children next to them since they were young. They are over-protected everywhere. Even if they go out to play, they should apply sunscreen, mosquito repellant, and wear a hard hat. The old mother should disinfect all the places they come into contact with and participate in outdoor activities. , wrapped like an astronaut.
Education and Anxiety
The education of children is the common anxiety of contemporary people. Everyone hopes that the next generation can receive better education, not only for the children's more comfortable life, but also to make up for their own past regrets.
Children should go to the best schools to receive the best education, that's what they really think. They have good capital and want to enter private schools by buying school district housing, but they find that private schools can no longer be entered only by money.
In addition to a lot of extra costs, diversified interviews, detailed household registration "inspection" of parents, grandparents, whether they can speak English, and whether they have any specialties have become an unbearable burden for ordinary families.
Pain and laughter
How to get into this school has become the biggest laughing point of this movie and the biggest pain point in our lives. Every parent who has been troubled by reading for their children can feel the taste of it.
Challenge 1: Buy a house. A good school has always been the best selling point for selling houses in various communities, and it may also be the hottest topic for speculators and renters, although the trend has been slightly better in the past two years.
However, in order to be able to study in a zone, many families still work hard and take out everything to buy a school zone room for their children. This is not very difficult for the parents in this film.
Challenge 2: Interview. After the first route failed, the two began to try the second route. As long as there are business opportunities, there must be a mature industry. Interview words, children's quick-shot, and related training have mushroomed, which is not difficult for parents with money and time.
Challenge 3: Grab a spot. After the fair and honest way failed, the two sought "crooked" ways, such as bribing the clerk through a peddler. But this time they encountered a little setback, and they failed again after playing tricks with money.
In reality, these three items have already wiped out 99% of ordinary families, and the most interesting is the fourth item.
luck and the world
Challenge 4: Pretend to be poor. It can be said that a lot of progress can be said to be able to touch the third point. This film is even more extraordinary. It satirizes the rich people in order to seize the places, but also the poor places reserved for education fairness. But the reality is that even if many people go in, they may not be able to stick to it.
Challenge five: rely on luck. In the end, it depends on luck, because the number of places is limited. After surviving ninety-nine-eighty-eighty difficulties, the last hurdle will also make people lose their efforts. Such is the uncertainty of the world, it seems that the rich are getting better and the poor are getting worse.
So is it really just luck? Many people always say that as long as someone does something, they can get rid of the current predicament. It is still the old saying that standing and talking will not hurt your back. Don't judge others by a single thing, it's really easy for our cognition to make mistakes.
start and farewell
Two starts, two farewells, let us go through heaven and hell with the protagonist's family, we can see many familiar problems, but find that it is really difficult to solve these problems.
Just like when the male protagonist is selling clothes, you must understand the customer before you show it to the customer, and you must really understand the problem to solve the problem. We talk about education endlessly, but we never really pay attention to what's wrong with children, what's wrong with real children, they are not abstract existences, they only exist according to our meaning, learn more about children!
