I heard that the movie "Genius Gunner" is very good. I was dealing with an exam a few days ago. I went to watch the movie with my friends who were preparing for the exam. When I came back, I didn't say a word, sighing: "I'm so disappointed, I just don't want to take the exam after watching it. "..." I was so scared that I didn't even dare to look at it. After the exam, I feel that there are only four words——
At first, I thought the movie was just like the title, and it was probably written about a group of super school tyrants in the campus working with ordinary school scumbags. One of them was a shooter, while the other copied the answers. The whole class fought against the corrupt education system in cheerful cheating In the process of transferring to the campus, the nature was released, the power was defeated, and the harmony of freedom and personality was realized. Maybe it was a very exciting youth campus film like "High School Musical".
I didn't expect it, I didn't expect that it is not so much a school tyrant and a scumbag teaming up to cheat, it is better to say that a rich scumbag hires a poor student tyrant to cheat, not just a simple relationship with classmates, but a naked relationship of capital interests. Where is this writing about campus and youth, it is clearly writing about capital, class, power and humanity. Knowing that Thailand's film and television industry is developed, I didn't expect that there is such a big gap between us and others. Looking at our school drama, it is about to become a trilogy of cheating, sadomasochism and abortion. It is really hard to look up.
This Thai film tells the story of how two poor school tyrants in an aristocratic high school became gunmen for the rich second generation step by step.
This is Xueba Lin. She lives with her single father and her family is poor. Her father sent her to an aristocratic high school and secretly paid expensive sponsorship fees without her knowledge. During school, Lin became friends with a student scumbag Bai Fumei. At Bai Fumei's request, she helped her cheat for the first time. After that, Xueba was introduced to the rich second-generation circle. For a girl who tried her best to get a tuition waiver in front of her teacher, the money for cheating was not just an abstract number of Thai baht, but a variety of specific school expenses, a high-level self-help reward for herself, and a new shirt for her father. ...Lin embarked on an adventurous road to sell her genius brain.
This is the school tyrant Bank, the same genius as Lin, who is also the same single parent and poor. His tuition is earned by his mother doing laundry for each person. Unlike Lin's dexterity and flexibility, Bank was a simple and righteous boy from the beginning, until he not only refused to bribe and cheated by his rich second-generation classmates, but also reported to the invigilator in the examination room that the rich second-generation was copying Lin's answer. Little did she know that Lin had already collected money to help the rich second generation cheat, and the invigilator was obviously turning one eye and closing one eye. Bank is simply a good and kind unknower.
Seeing that the report was invalid, Bank, who had a strong sense of justice, then reported to the dean of education, but he did not want to cause Lin to be deprived of the scholarship to study abroad. But Bank was also miserable. After a series of incidents, he was reduced to the same situation as Lin-no money to study abroad.
For them, the only way out is to study abroad. In order to earn the cost of studying abroad, they promised to help the rich second generation pass the STIC exam, so they teamed up to stage a thrilling collective cheating.
Along the way, the notion that cheating is an untouchable minefield is deeply rooted in the hearts of the people. But seeing Lin and Bank cheating in the exam room, it was originally a wrong thing, but doing something wrong makes people feel that there is nothing wrong. I even pray that they will never be caught. I can't bear to mention anything at all. Integrity and morality, do not have the heart to criticize anything. Because this mistake is not optional to a certain extent, if a mistake seems reasonable, there must be a bigger mistake behind this mistake, and there is something more worthy of criticism.
What drove the two geniuses down the path of cheating?
1. You all cheat, why can't I?
How did Lin start helping Bai Fumei cheat? Not just out of sympathy and friendship, but when she discovered that the invigilator who clamored for cheating the most in her life actually set up a private tutoring class, and she could get the original exam questions in advance after paying the money. The teacher who was righteous was the one who cheated. It was the teacher who took the lead in cheating who gave her the courage to commit the first foul. There is also the dean, who keeps saying that the school is a place for teaching and educating people, while trying to squeeze money from the students, using model students as a tool for school promotion, and even when dealing with cheating incidents, the rich second generation who copied Lin's answers was fine. , but because of Lin's "disobedience", she was arbitrarily deprived of her eligibility for a study abroad scholarship.
They are the biggest cheaters when the entire education system talks about fairness and morality while doing all kinds of illegal things.
Compared with the hypocrisy of the adult world, the second generation seems to be much "simple", unabashedly expressing their desire to "cheating", all they want is a "standard answer". These things give them self-respect and vanity, sports car rewards from parents, opportunities to enter famous schools, tickets to a higher level of life... These are not what they deserve, but the second generation spends money You can get what everyone dreams of that doesn't belong to you.
Since you don't follow the rules, why can't I? You want grades, we want money, each takes what he needs.
2. If you don't cheat, you will always be a loser. If you don't cheat, the world will still deceive you.
Girls are really precocious. When Bank was a righteous second-year junior, Lin saw the salt behind the surface of reality, and gave up her persistence and fantasy about the so-called "good character" early, and began to seek solid results. Interests. How did the late Banker mature? He was woken up by reality slaps one by one.
The back of his mother's hunched back washing clothes did not let him commit it, because he could still study hard to make her happy; when the second generation did not agree with him, he committed the crime, because he could still get a scholarship to go abroad and leave here to end everything; but He was desperate when he was beaten up by the rich second generation, thrown into the endless garbage dump, and admitted to the hospital to miss the scholarship exam.
The darkest part of the film is that the rich second generation framed Banker. When the righteous people do not cooperate and do not submit, the strong party has a way to subdue them. The moment he learned the truth, Bank was angry, and Xiaolin also glared at the second generation of rich with hatred, not because she forgot that the second generation of rich was her partner and closer to her own interests, but because she knew from the bottom of her heart. I know that I and the second generation are not in the same world, I and Bank are the same kind of people.
What was it that brought Bank to his knees? It's not beating and intimidation, it's the fear of the ants' fate and the desire to control their own life.
Lynn found Bank and said to him, "They are born winners in life, we are all losers, we can only be losers for a lifetime." This seemingly irresistible prophecy like fate made him afraid, how can he change this kind of loser fate? What is in front of you is - cheating to get money and then going abroad to start a new life. This is the only chance they can seize. The determination and desire not to be a loser forever made Bank succumbed and committed.
How much influence does one's origin and family have? The influence of innate class on a person is really deep enough.
Why are many criminal subjects living at the bottom? Because when a person is unwilling to their real situation and there is no effective way to ascend, as long as their enthusiasm and ambition have not been wiped out, they have no confidence to refuse any temptation that may bring a chance of life, even if it is a temptation from the devil The transaction requires the exchange of his own soul.
The news often reports how the rich second generation degenerates and how extravagant they are, and it is often a "survivor deviation". I only saw this part, and the poor second generation did not speak as silent rebuttal data. The reality is that children from superior backgrounds always have a face that has never been bullied. They have less chance to fall than others, and they have more confidence to refuse to fall, because they don't need to bet on a better tomorrow with today's fall. There are more other options.
Do you think the children of rich families are really just rich? This statement is too much like the yy and self-comfort of most people. Of course, there are water second generation like the scumbag minibus in the film, and there are not a few excellent rich second generation. When money does not occupy too much cognitive resources and attention for them, they will pay more attention to other aspects. I have more energy to focus on public social issues and less practical things, and I am more willing to do a lot of unusual things. In this way, the cycle is repeated, and the gap is getting bigger and bigger.
3. The world you say is not counted
. The day before the exam, Lynn said to Banker, who was going abroad for the first time, in Sydney: "From tomorrow onwards, we will have the final say in the world." This sentence was used as a promotional slogan for the film. , However, I really feel that this sentence is simply a perfect mockery of reality.
Who in the world has the final say?
"What am I afraid of? He copied me, not me." Lin was so plausible when she was found cheating, but the rich second generation who copied her was fine. She was deprived of the scholarship because she said something wrong. Calculate.
"Your school itself is using students to make money... Why can't I... They are willing to pay me money..." No matter how logically Lin made it, but it was not correct, she said it didn't count.
"I wouldn't do this kind of thing", Bank refused to cheat on the front foot, reported cheating, and was beaten by a crowd hired by the rich second generation on the back foot, thrown to the garbage dump like an ant, and then became the gunman of the rich second generation who framed him . His previous logic and principles, resistance and disobedience, do not count.
When the Fuerdai minibus private field organized a group of second-generations to practice cheating skills, he appeared in the spotlight in bright clothes and gave a passionate speech like Jobs. The second-generation below seemed to see the dream and cheered excitedly. At this moment, all the lights of the world are on them. At this moment, Xiao Lin and Bank are racing against time to practice shorthand for answers. Who looks more successful?
After the exam, when the second generation cheered, Bank was arrested and still being interrogated, and Xiao Lin was still feeling guilty and sad. After the scores were announced, the second generation was wearing T-shirts with high scores, and they were partying at the party, celebrating the days of the famous school in the future. See for yourself how Mom signs the notice of withdrawal.
This world doesn't belong to Xiao Lin and Bank, anyway, they don't have the final say.
4. Nothing has changed.
Everything is like a dream. In the end, Xiaolin woke up and didn't go to get the money. Bank used the money he sacrificed for his future to buy a few washing machines for his mother and a locomotive for himself. The new laundromat made me think it was all over, and that Banker was going to get his spirits up and work hard, so what if he didn't go abroad? Work hard by yourself, as well as with diligence and ingenuity.
When Lin opened the door of the laundry and saw the messy dark room and the gloomy Bank, I knew that this was no longer the Bank of the past.
This upright middle-two teenager has become blackened and alienated, and he is ambitious to use cheating as a career and do a bigger business. "If you can make millions now, why go to school for four years and then get a few thousand dollars a month in the office after graduation?" Bank asked Xiaolin. "If you don't agree, I'll report you and the minibuses"...
Once you get a taste of money, you must do whatever it takes to get it. The sooner the better, the more practical the better. Some series of critical attacks from life made Bank realize how impractical morality and integrity are. They are really vulnerable in the face of capital. In this era of rigid class, he wants to rely on education to achieve counterattack and jump up the class. What an unreliable thing to change fate. Even if you have a genius brain, you can become a noble child from a poor family, and it may not be good to enter the society and rampage alone. Most of them are the kind of people who are cut leeks.
Even elementary school students have realized this. Earlier news reports said elementary school students told their aunt that no matter how good their grades were, it was useless. Their poor parents could not afford to buy a house in a big city or send them to study abroad. Having money is much more important than studying. Now ...
Banker is not alone. Many Bankers' values have been completely distorted. His experience reminds me of Qi Tongwei in "In the Name of the People". He is a simple boy with integrity and dreams. How to be slapped by reality, How to be alienated by social education step by step.
During the whole process, Xiao Lin is the one who has been growing up, quickly discovering the unbearable reality, quickly giving up the good and useless persistence, quickly seeking practical benefits, and quickly seeing through the despair and hopelessness of dealing with the devil, In the end, he quickly got out and "returned to the right" by "surrendering himself" to complete the redemption of himself.
However, how many people can be as smart as a genius, have insight into the world, and have the agility and wisdom to survive like Xiao Lin?
And Bank, obviously the one who fell deeply and couldn't get out, was the one who was completely destroyed and unable to rebuild himself, and who was most likely to become a person who dealt with the devil. In him, I saw the shadows of those who went astray and could not extricate themselves to the dark. Who will redeem him? He does not have a stubborn and reliable father like Xiao Lin, nor does he have a sophisticated and sensitive mind and cognition like Xiao Lin. He only has a genius but not a flexible brain. At this moment, this unique genius is like a jewel on the way to escape. Coveted the share of robbery.
The film finally gave an extremely correct ending, but the reality is likely not to be like this. More realistically, it may be that Xiaolin and Banker joined forces to vote, and then they were arrested, and then destroyed their whole life, becoming a victim of this era and capital. , and then quickly forgotten. After that, more Xiaolin and Bank, repeating the same mistakes...
We have been hotly discussing the solidification of the class. Education has always been regarded as the best way to break the solidification and achieve mobility. However, many people's confidence in education is now relatively weak, because the gap between educational resources is too great, and the advantages and disadvantages are very obvious. Under the circumstances, it is a bit far-fetched to rely entirely on people's subjective initiative to realize the birth of a child from a poor family. However, it is undeniable that, compared with other special ways, education and examinations are currently opportunities that most ordinary people can seize. If you make good use of them, you can at least give yourself a not too bad starting point, and then you can enter the society later. How far you go and how high you can go depends on other things.
Reality is not good enough, everyone knows this, we can criticize it, because it is unreasonable, we should criticize it, but we must beware of a misunderstanding - admitting the unreasonableness of reality, kneeling to reality prematurely, only knowing criticism but giving up efforts courage and will. Perhaps this is also the reason why the content of this film seems to be very sad and negative, but the ending is forced to have a positive and bright ending. This is to tell us that no matter how we are lost, we still have to make our own choices.
At the end of the film, Xiaolin said, "Yes, all choices are my own." Yes, reality sucks, but criticizing it doesn't prevent you from continuing to work hard. It's shameful to work hard. Your efforts are not to admit the rationality of reality, not to be stupid, but to give yourself a chance to turn things around. Ability to transform reality. If you sink into this, shouting all day, "It's not that I don't work hard, it's class solidification, the reality is unreasonable, and the family is not good", it is understandable, and even makes people feel sympathetic and lamented, but it is really not constructive. way out.
A friend said: "Many people can't do the subjective part that they can control. Every day they say that their objective quality is inferior to others. This is really..." In terms of origin, family, resources, class, etc. Not as good as people, this is very realistic and unreasonable, and it deserves criticism and improvement. There is no doubt about it.
But it has to be said that many people have not yet reached the time of "fighting for luck", and they are qualified to say "let's see luck" after trying and working hard. And, if it's just sitting there and criticizing, who's going to drive these changes? Who will solve unreasonable problems? You can't expect unreasonable things to disappear on their own.
Finally, look at this question: Who in the world has the final say? I said, I must keep the courage and will to give it a try, and then I will see it again, neither say nor do it, the most hopeless.
