Take note of some very subtle, valuable, and worthy points that I feel the film touches upon. 1. An objective, critical, and reconstructive attitude toward history, or an attitude of sympathy, comfort, and respect. Is the multivariate search for the cause of historical events all weakening the pain(?) it carries. (Due to Erwin and Hector discussing the Holocaust in class) And as Erwin said, we remember to forget. very funny. 2. Attitude towards poetry. Poetry has always been repelled by representatives of power, yet can it gain the reverence and love of its recipients, and can it find a utopia in which it is revered as king? Dead Poets Society's answer is yes, this film is no. 3. Love and morality and dignity. Hector's sexual harassment of students on his motorcycle can be described as a disgusting, ridiculous, and humble means of his pursuit of "love". This habit spoils the teacher's image of being lovable and innocent, making him appear less innocent and less reasonable. And his advice to Ervin is not to touch Daken, because he will laugh at you. And Erwin's hesitation and withdrawal also meant that he wanted to maintain his image. In the end, his performance was really sultry, and I frantically shouted in my heart, "Ah! Push him down", but unfortunately the movie stopped at the point of scratching people's hearts, but nothing happened.
4. Post's "staged" admiration for Dakken, he has been emphasizing that he is unwilling to let it disappear, which is probably a bit similar to the troubles of young Werther, the melancholy that he can't taste because of his love.
