Turn over the serf to sing

The style of the film is still not as good as American. It is similar to the current level of animation in China. The plot of the film, as well as the pacing, feels a little bit off. Is it because of too much American culture input? With that in mind, I watched the whole movie. The last part where the two girls dance awkwardly is the best, and I finally found the taste of a commercial blockbuster.

Now let me talk about the issues of social equity and justice that I have been thinking about most. The heroine stole someone else's admission notice and went to school under her name. Such a story has already happened in real society in China. There is a unanimous condemnation of imposters for encroaching on the learning opportunities of others. I thought that the three views of the French and Canadians were different. Later, it was quite mainstream. It was wrong to steal other people's opportunities, but the heroine's performance was really good, and she brushed it to the end with her strength. The teacher also gave the girl who had stolen the name a chance to participate. The strength of the girl whose name was stolen is not bad. The difference between the two is that one really loves them, and the other is forced by their mother to study. In fact, there is absolutely no need for the film to vilify the rich girl's mother to enhance the status of the lame girl and the heroine in the hearts of the audience. If the rich girl also really loves it, the heroine may not be able to get the opportunity. The heroine can be recognized, but it must be said that the setting of this film does not block the opportunity for promotion of the lower classes. This film even whitewashes the dark history of the heroine getting a chance to a certain extent, which is an unimaginable three-pointed view of pursuing fairness and justice. However, it can be seen that if the original class behavior model is maintained, the bottom layer has no chance to turn over at all. If the law is a tool for the ruling class to protect its rights and interests, then a certain degree of illegality can be said to be the only way for serfs to turn over. In the end, it seems that the story is that, go after what you want! Even if you have to lie and deceive the world.

    [Odette leaves. Regine looks down at Felicie coldly. A visibly frightened Felicie resumes cleaning the stairs]

    Regine: It's not clean.
