Or, is there anyone who has never cheated?
Did you use some method to get something that didn't belong to you? Or, have you helped others to overcome the rules, for money, for relationships, for loyalty?
If mainland youth films combine elements such as "puppy love, fights, abortion", and rely on large backlighting to smooth out the nasolabial lines on the actors' faces, then Thai youth films are like a bowl of Tom Yum Kung soup, hot and sour, sweet and sweet. With the aroma of lemon and the coolness of mint, it tastes like tears.
The film "Genius Gunner" not only has the freshness and pain of a youth film, but also adds the tension like a suspense film and a spy war film. At the same time, its connotation has reached a level that other types of films cannot match. This is a work that will not be forgotten for at least five years, and it is also a thought-provoking film that I would recommend to all my friends, especially students, teachers, and parents.
"Genius Gunner" is adapted from real events. In 2014, a large-scale leak of the SAT test held in Asian countries affected more than 10,000 candidates including China, South Korea, Thailand, and Japan. Taking advantage of the time difference, some training institutions will send people to take the test in the United States, memorize the test questions, or collect them illegally, and use the real questions as a gimmick to make profits. After the cheating incident broke out, the invigilator conducted an investigation and confirmed that some candidates cheated. The results of the candidates were subsequently cancelled, and dozens of test centers set up in Asian countries were also disqualified. In addition to "good at exams", there is also a "good at cheating" label on his face.
Let us remember that in the 2014 SAT cheating incident, the protagonists were actually our Chinese students.
The talented girl Xiaolin was born in an ordinary single-parent family. She was transferred to a senior high school for free with her excellent grades, and became a good friend with the scumbag girl Grace.
It all started from that general exam. She found out that the exam questions were the practice questions that Grace had asked her to teach her. The above hints that "the questions are difficult, and it is impossible for students who do not come to tutoring to get good grades."
The girl's eyes were full of disbelief, anger, and hurt. Out of contempt for the exam and her friendship with Grace, she copied the answer on the eraser... At
the party a few days later, Grace Her boyfriend, A Pai, offered a high price that she couldn't refuse, tempting her to provide answers for more students.
At home, she turned to the "sponsorship fee" of 200,000 baht paid by her father to transfer her to a new school with places to study abroad, and she saw her parents' divorce agreement. She thought that her father would be a teacher all his life, he was reluctant to even buy clothes, and she would definitely need a lot of money to study abroad in the future...
She found that she could easily earn those unfamiliar Money for the inexperienced rich second generation.
She found out that the school is not using educational resources to do business?
Each school has its own score line, and in fact the gap in performance can be smoothed out by relationships and money. There are "Airborne Classes" and "Tiaozi Students" in the school, and there are "school establishment fees" and "sponsorship fees" clearly marked at the beginning of the school year. And some teachers use exams and rankings to get students to enroll in remedial classes, and they don't hesitate to leak questions. These teachers must be richer than her father who follows the rules.
There was a cynical paranoia and fluke in those clear and proud single-lid eyes - since the world itself is not fair, education is not fair, exams are not fair, then why should I be a fool who obeys the rules?
But there was such a fool who ruined their plan.
Bank is the second-ranked student in the school. In Xiao Lin's words, "This guy is the most hard-working and down-to-earth person in the world besides my dad." This teenager has black hair, thick black eyebrows and dark eyes , there are shy faces when they smile, and simple and stubborn expressions that seem to be the embodiment of justice.
He was also reading while walking, listening to the "must-have for the exam" playlist with headphones to enhance his memory, and he was the first to come to the exam room to reject his classmate's cheating request.
He studied hard because he knew that the exam was the only chance for a poor boy like him to change his fate. He had to maintain the fairness of the exam, because his future was built on this fairness.
He and Xiaolin were rivals competing for the only scholarship to go abroad. In this competition, there was still a little bit of ignorant heartbeat and admiration for each other.
Banker reported a classmate for peeking at Xiaolin's test paper, but it involved Xiaolin's bigger secret, which made her ineligible to compete for a scholarship to go abroad, and Banker himself was retaliated by being beaten up the night before going abroad for the exam. Throwing it in the rubbish heap and missing the exam time.
The saddest scene in the whole film was not that Xiao Lin's father took off the shirt that her daughter gave her in disappointment, or that Xiao Lin stubbornly said to the principal with tears in her eyes: "Why do you think I am the only one who uses the school to make money? People?!" It wasn't Xiao Lin who mocked Banker with a sophisticated face and said, "Even if you don't cheat, life still cheats you!" It was Banker who woke up from the garbage heap, his face turned purple, and he dragged his injured leg. Stumbled across the junkyard while vomiting and trying to catch up with the exam, when he finally realized that he couldn't take the exam that would determine his life, the child cried out in despair as he sat in the rubbish.
Why? Obviously he has worked so hard, worked so hard, and worked so hard... Mommy washes clothes day and night for herself, until her hands are peeled and her back is carried...
You should see what kind of face that is.
And when he realized that all this was Apai's plan to force him to participate in the SAT, something inside him really collapsed.
The director set up a very good picture, the truth is revealed, after a violent conflict, Bank pushed away the pleading Apai and rushed out the door, Xiaolin also decided to give up helping Grace to leave, he and she met again on an overpass.
There are two indicator lights on the bridge, the green light is an arrow number and the red light is an X.
Lynn and Bank stand in the middle of the two lamps.
"Promise them, at least I have money," Bank said.
They made a choice that destroyed themselves.
Some people say that the director made a cheating out of the atmosphere of "Mission Impossible". Indeed, during the whole process of the SAT test, the audience became the protagonist and felt the nervousness of cheating under the high pressure of accidental frequent occurrences. It was involuntarily guilty of being a thief. The hands would tremble, the heart rate would accelerate, the back would sweat, and blanks would appear in the mind. Until the toilet door was knocked, there was a buzzing sound in the ear, and I wanted to vomit and cry.
After a long psychological time, the climax of the film passed, and all the answers crossed the ocean through mobile phone signals and turned into QR codes on the 2B pencil, which were distributed to every candidate who paid the expensive registration fee.
Bank was arrested, Xiao Lin didn't finish writing her papers, and in the brief and silent look at each other, Bank's eyes turned red, Xiao Lin bit her lip and deleted the photo of the two of them on the phone.
It was a day ago, in the clear blue sky above the Sydney Opera House, and two young faces whose end was unknown.
All the rich second-generation candidates put on T-shirts with "I scored 1490 on the SAT" and held a party. They successfully used money to surpass education. They did "Don't use scores to choose us, but we choose School."
The commendation poster with photos of Lynn and Bank that hung high above the school was taken down and thrown in the utility room.
The girl on the poster has a single eyelid and slender eyes as cool as moonlight, proud and innocent.
The teenager on the poster has jet-black hair, thick black eyebrows and dark eyes.
They used to have a very good future.
At the end of the film, Banker will never be able to take the exam for going abroad. He was expelled from the school. He sold a lot of new automatic washing machines with his own money. He stood in the dark utility room with a complicated expression and said to Xiaolin : "We can continue to help others pass the exam, you know, even if we get caught, we won't go to jail. We can earn a lot of money, what's the use of going to college for four years? It's not just earning tens of thousands a year. Salary."
Rather than ruining her chance to go abroad, Xiao Lin hated herself for ruining the young man who reminded her that someone peeked at her papers, the "hardest working and down-to-earth person in the world except my dad", She already knew what she had done wrong, and instead of taking the advertisement he handed over, she held out his hand and persuaded him to stop.
But Bank's eyes told her that his values had completely changed.
Bank said: "I have to have you in my plan. If you don't agree, I will report you, as well as Grace and Apai, and all the candidates who participated in this cheating. Everyone will be destroyed. It all depends on your choice, Xiao Lin."
I can't stand in hell alone.
She turned her back to him, struggling to hold back her tears.
She opened the door, turned around, and said, "Yes, it's all my choice."
She chose to take responsibility for what she did wrong.
She chose to go back to the sun.
In the same exam room, some people have natural good minds, some people have natural "good dads", some people have already got the original questions, some people are peeking at other people's test papers, and some people are playing cheat sheets. , Some people are handing a note to others and gesturing, and some people are immersed in the problem.
Who do you think did well in the final exam?
With so many exam experiences, we all wonder if it’s fair? Are rules only used to restrain those who follow them? How many people are using the rules to make money? The people who make the rules do they follow the rules?
Real life is far more cruel than an exam.
But fortunately, its scores are not calculated that way.
God sometimes seems to be very unfair. It has given some people talent, some wealth, and some luck, but in fact, God does not guarantee that a person who has these will be happy. In my opinion, God is just very generous and fair to give everyone the kindness and integrity in nature. As long as you keep these, you can at least have real peace.
Postscript: From my student days to becoming a teacher myself, it can be said that cheating is a very common and common thing in Chinese schools. The big word "honesty" on the blackboard will not make any cheating student blush , they are "calm" and "composure" after the examination room. Most of the cheating candidates who were reminded and caught didn't really have the heart to reflect, they just blamed themselves for bad luck and the teacher was too strict.
Students with poor grades cheat, and they will be blamed, ridiculed, and ridiculed because of their poor grades. Even children with poor grades are eager to make progress. Students with good grades also cheat. I have even seen the first in the grade cheat because they are too afraid of losing the leading position. There is a girl who actually got very good grades, but she has to cheat every time she takes an exam, which has become a kind of psychological "addiction". After being warned many times that it is invalid, the school can only let her transfer. The students who help others to cheat are more out of loyalty and fear of being isolated and excluded if they don't do so, as well as their desire to break the rules.
Children are originally a blank sheet of paper, and their behavior is an imitation of the adult world. Fang Gungun, the little boy in "Looks Beautiful", realized the importance of the little red flower and began the process of being domesticated and shaped. When the teacher told the children that they would raise their left hand when they would answer, and raise their right hand if they could not. At that time, the children who raised their hands high learned to make excuses. At this time, Lao Tzu's sigh came faintly: "Everyone in the world knows that beauty is beauty, and it is evil, and everyone knows that good is good, and it is not good."
Selfishly confessed the invincible female number one, with a standard supermodel face.
Selfishly recommend my public account, Yilu Duxing, which records the places where a 25-year-old young woman travels alone after resignation.
