Facing the Cracks in Your Heart

When I read the introduction, I hoped that it was not the subject of school bullying. After reading the part, I felt that although there was bullying, the theme was about facing oneself, jealousy and fear.

When G sneaked into the office to look through the students' files, the old school teacher Miss Niven pointed to the photo on the wall and said to her, "You have been here long enough..." I realized that G has never An old student who left school and became a teacher after graduation, she spent almost all her time on this island. Her various quotations and rhetoric about passion and desire and courage are nothing but grandstanding and narcissism. How she longed to go out and see the outside world, how long she longed to have the adventure stories in the books she read, but when Fiamma was driven away by her roommates, she went to the ferry to look for it. The boatman asked her if she was on the boat, she said to herself Say "I don't like wide seas". She wanted to run away, she never really went out, she hoped that she was special, she kept performing the perfect and brave self in her own fantasy, the girls in the diving team were inspired by her, and the girls longed to become G .

The arrival of Fiamma, who has seen the world, her beauty, calm and noble temperament makes G jealous and curious, she is the only one who dares to tell the truth and dare to look forward to it, she said that she does not belong here She is leaving her father will To pick her up, even if she came here because of a family scandal, she dared to face the cracks in her heart. When she was dared to go out by a group of Di, she also took the opportunity to call to pursue her expectations, even if she was rejected countless times. G peeked at her file and secretly put away her postcards and cookies, all of which were later discovered by Fiamma, but she did not expose her face to face. She was kind and did not have a high opinion of her roommate. She was bullied many times without revenge or lowering her attitude. , and also gave his perfume to each other. A true aristocrat is so brave and independent, neither humble nor arrogant, not easily piercing others and not going with the flow. G, who is full of gorgeous language, is curious about Fiamma to want to control and possess, even forcibly. She relies on fantasies and pretense to create a maverick, mysterious and rebellious image for her boring and cowardly self. In fact, the school's senior female teachers and intelligent nobleman Fiamma know what's going on. G didn't dare to face her shallow and unfulfilled lies, she used all her courage to stop Fiamma from telling the truth.

I happened to be watching "I am not your nigger" tonight, and the narrator said something roughly like this, can't recall the exact words, presumably, it's not about racism anymore, white people face themselves Do things, kill people of color, even if it's your own children, your own children, your lover, black slaves and non-black slaves... but whether you can face what you do and whether you can treat yourself responsible for life....... You hang the niggers, and you give me a favor, I can look into your eyes, and you can't you can't look into mine..."

I think it applies to this movie as well. Who you are is defined by what you do. You are afraid of male gazes, you have never left school, your diving training is nothing but a farce screaming and hoping to boost everyone's morale, you have never led a team to any competition, you have no courage to tell the truth and no courage Leaving, you turned your desire for the outside world into a lie, your cowardice and fear made you fascinated, and you suddenly had the courage to kill people, you are what you did, and how many gorgeous stories you make up like this, you are also a coward . Throughout her life, G did not dare to go out, but her student Di bravely took this step. As long as there is no second girl who has seen some market and is really brave, G will continue to travel and explore in her own weaving daydreams and control her students in real life.

A sad woman who can't face her true self.... Poor Fiamma was buried in this women's only school... It's true that I don't share my children in boys' or girls' schools , society is composed of people of different genders and ages, and the school is a small society that needs diversity.

It takes more courage to face yourself and your inner fissure than to go on an adventure.
