Looking forward to seeing the original drama.

It can be regarded as another surprise and harvest from watching movies of this type recently.

I personally find this movie very interesting, but a little confusing. It is different from the "learning as the main line and the basic emotion as the secondary line" mentioned by some people. I am thinking about whether learning history penetrates the basic emotion, or the basic emotion permeates the study of history? Or do the two penetrate each other and help each other? I admit that I don’t quite understand what the film mainly expresses. Since I heard that it is based on an excellent drama, I think the space of the film is too small, not enough to hold too much essence, and not enough time to tell the story clearly.

I love the strong characters in it, everyone is cute because of their unique personalities, and I love all kinds of subtle and subtle conveyances that heat up (or become passionate) the base while also making it more... , romantic, a form of intimacy interaction that makes people fascinated (a more advanced flirtation).

It is said that distance produces beauty, this is the case, especially the psychological distance, everyone does not pierce that layer of paper, and it is easy to be on the edge of the sincere meeting, which can be called ambiguous. In this situation, everything becomes natural, there is no unnecessary worry, there is no dilemma, only everyone's tacit understanding. I have to say that this group of history boys has an open-minded and casual attitude. Maybe when people come into contact with a larger concept (need to understand history, the thoughts, events, etc.), they need to enhance their ability to accept, In this way, he will have more space to accept more new things, and then he will have a more macro perspective on the things that happen around him, and he will treat things more objectively. Mr. Hector is a good teacher who knows how to be far-sighted. Through learning, students can make better plans for their future lives.

The relationship between teachers and students is simply: give and receive. In the film, the opposite is preferred. Irwin receives the information sent by Dakin, but does not give feedback due to the constraints of the frame. There should be more than so much interaction between them, there should be more exciting bridges, to be honest, I found a lot of bright spots from the film alone, and I realized that there should be more that have not yet been shown. I really look forward to it. See the play version with more punchlines.

I always feel that for a movie, there are too many parts that are too much to talk about, and there are too many points that can be talked about at length. However, limited to the form of expression, they are all covered in one stroke. For example, Hector said, "The transmission of knowledge itself is a kind of pornographic behavior. ', what perceptive words! Once upon a time, I had the feeling that the classroom was full of various disguised obscenities. In addition, the principal mentioned that Hector once touched the boy's shoes on a fast-moving motorcycle. Generally, I would think of the concept of speed and passion. Speed ​​will make people full of humanity. Isn't it the right time to reach out? ! (I’m evil again) There is another point that also made me feel a little bit. The teacher who taught art history read the picture album of two classmates holding some artists, and said meaningfully "well, i suppose.", Little Fatty I realized the meaning of the teacher's words, and pointed out that the works of the two masters in hand conveyed what information, they are good friends, huh, the female images in the paintings are just a kind of decoration, in fact, "with deformed tits". man". Two meanings can be received: two questions about the tendency of classmates, and some artists are actually men in the closet. Expressing their suppressed and distorted erotic desire through art .

I didn't want to say more, but I thought about it and I came up with more. Teacher Dorothy complained that there was no place for women in history. I thought of drama, and what I heard in my mind was that the male and female roles in Shakespeare's stage plays were all played by men. Because women didn't even have the right to perform on stage at that time, it is conceivable that there was a lot of love at that time. Even if the famous Broadway is mentioned now, I am afraid that it is the world of gay friends (information obtained from "Queer Duck The Movie").

I thought about that again, what is the purpose of Hector's teaching? In the end it came up that love is the only lesson worth learning. He once mentioned that he didn't want to train students to be people who regret not expressing their love for literature and poetry in time. He wanted them to have a full and rich life, what a noble person. We should also be like his students, to understand and tolerate his shortcomings. After all, it is human nature, and the one who can understand him the most is the Jewish boy. There is nowhere to release emotions, and no one is willing to respond. poor guy.

There are so many things that make people sigh and feel deeply. Hector teaches people to love, to accept it, to feel it, to pass it on, and to make life full and rich.


PS: The little Jewish Posner sings really nicely (the songs are also very nice), and the Christian Scripps is very handsome (people who have seen Snoopy should pay attention, is he super like Snoopy's children: little yellow bird, kawaii! (¯﹃¯), especially the eyes o(≧v≦)o ), the straightforwardness of the little "stupid" child Rudge is quite cute. Not ashamed to say, I think Rudge & Scripps are the best candidates to roll the sheets, o(≧v≦)o~~.

ps.ps. I like that this kind of subtle and subtle hint is limited to the appreciation of film and television works. I don’t like to be involved with any
ridiculous and meaningless ambiguity in my personal life. If I like it, I will say it. I don't want to fall into the whirlpool of unintentional mistakes again. Of course, I will say what I feel, not afraid that others will follow suit, and I don't want to pay attention to what will happen next.


Finally again: I really want to see the drama version!
