Essayist Mu Xin said: Art is a fake pocket with real things. The movie is false, but the truth it reflects can be true. The author is a thinking person, so this article mainly intercepts two planes of the movie to do some extended discussions. In the first plane, Xiao Lin and her "client" were reported cheating by the male protagonist Bank, and they had a dispute with the principal in the office, and were disqualified from applying for an international scholarship. Later, Xiao Lin was taken home by her father. .
Father: "You want to make money, isn't it better to help your classmates with their homework [instead of helping them cheat]?"
Lin: "But the principal first lied [meaning that the school charges every student in addition to tuition" Sponsorship fee']."
Father: "What's a cheat? That's the money that Dad voluntarily paid!"
Lin: "[The students who paid me to help cheat] are also voluntary!"
Father: "So you came here . Don't you know you're wrong now?!"
This is a dialogue worth pondering. In essence, the school charges "sponsorship fees" in addition to tuition fees, while Xiaolin helps her classmates cheat, which is a violation of the public rules on the table, but Xiaolin will be punished, and for the school , the father's statement is "that's my voluntary" - the subtext "so the school didn't lie". Here, we will not discuss too much whether the voluntary principle will change the essence of fraudulent behavior. First of all, Xiaolin should be studying in a key high school, and the educational resources it provides are very rare. If Lin's father does not pay this extra fee, Xiaolin may not be able to go to school or be forced to go to a very high school. Bad high school. Therefore, Lin's father lost the right to choose and was forced to voluntarily under the reality of serious uneven distribution of educational resources. Secondly, it can be inferred that the local high-quality high schools all follow similar unspoken rules. Since everyone does this, Xiaolin's high school also does the same thing. What is there to question? It can be seen that the school has the same dishonest behavior as Xiao Lin, but because the school has more power, and the power is so great that when it becomes a system and makes ordinary people unable to resist, people will choose to accept and rationalize it. Xiaolin is just a tiny individual. If she violates the rules, she will face charges and punishment. Of course, this is not to excuse Xiaolin, but just to illustrate: people's standards for judging things are molded by appearance and power. There is a sentence in middle school textbooks called "seeing the essence through the phenomenon". Once upon a time, the author only used it as a cliché when answering a question. Now that I think about it, it is very difficult for us all living beings to achieve this state.
In the second plane, the male protagonist Bank is Xiaolin's favorite object. He is sunny and handsome, and he also has an honest image. Bank refused his classmate Xiaodong's request to help him cheat, and reported the fact that Xiaodong cheated in the exam room to the principal. Unexpectedly, the "shooter" Xiaolin was implicated. Xiaolin was therefore disqualified from applying for an international scholarship, and Bank, who was also a scholar, became the biggest winner unintentionally. Unexpectedly, Bank also missed the opportunity to apply for a scholarship in a later accident. At this time, in order to help the scumbags apply to top foreign universities, Xiaolin built a more ambitious cheating plan for her clients, and this plan needed Bank's help. Xiaolin found Bank, who was struggling financially, and began to persuade him to participate in the plan in Bank's contemptuous look. Soon, Xiaolin succeeded, Bank joined the team, and the two went to Australia to take the exam. During the exam, Bank was caught, permanently disqualified from the STIC exam, and expelled from high school. Xiaolin, after witnessing everything, thoroughly reflected on herself and "washed her hands in a golden pot". Bank, who dropped out of school, got his own reward and coerced Xiaolin to become his permanent partner, otherwise, Xiaolin's dark history would be made public. In the end, after experiencing the most intense conflict in the depths of her soul, Xiaolin chose to take the initiative to admit the truth to the STIC examination agency, and the "genius gunner" put down her "gun".
Many viewers thought Banker's "blackening" was too abrupt. In fact, the design of Banker's character is the highlight of this film. In the beginning, he reported his classmates and ridiculed Xiaolin, occupying the high point of morality, and implementing the morality in his mind as a dogma with a sense of judgment. After returning from Australia, he came to two conclusions: first, the cheating industry is very profitable; second, if you are caught cheating, you will not go to jail. Faced with such a high-profit and low-risk option, Bank's heart quickly disarmed and surrendered, and he naturally and unscrupulously became the type of person he had reported. In the author's opinion, Banker's change of temperament is reasonable, because moral dogmatists do not really understand and respect morality, they just use morality to kidnap others and find superiority for their own existence. When confronted with a real crisis or temptation, he will turn his face like flipping a book. In all fairness, Banker in the movie is still "kind", at least he can admit his true motives.
In the movie, Xiaolin and Bank's cleverness need not be repeated. Who are the stupid students who pay for cheating business? Pat is articulate, good at arousing collective emotions, and managing the operation of the cheating club; Grace is well-versed, proficient in computers, and in charge of cheating club technology; even the most dull-witted Xiaodong, who is slow to cheat, is in charge of the cheating club. When the plan changes and the people's hearts are unstable, he can comfort the hearts of the generals and give them a steady command. Therefore, intelligence and intelligence are not what the world lacks, but what is lacking in the world is only kindness and courage: the
so-called kindness is not about being arrogant or critical, but honestly facing one's own heart, not entrusting others or complaining about others. Xiaolin chose education as her major when she graduated from high school. She said, "I have done too many wrong things in the past." The so-called courage is not to be opportunistic, to be brave, but to do what you do calmly Take responsibility, do not double-headed, do not run away. Xiaolin went on to say: "But I will learn my lesson and warn others."
