1. Daughter's exam
The daughter's exam is the bright line of the film, getting a scholarship, getting an average of 9 points in the exam, and going to the UK to study psychology. It's a simple linear story, but the hardest application for scholarship was taken with an understatement, as if going through the motions The exam has plunged the family into the abyss. Before her daughter's exam, the glass in her home was broken, which may also indicate that the peace is no longer there, and then her daughter was attacked, triggering one conflict after another. My daughter's first test - Romanian did not perform well. I wonder if it was a coincidence that the police also mentioned that Romanian is really too difficult in the film. Why do they think the mother tongue is too difficult? Question quirk or identity? The daughter's next exams in other subjects are very important, but the daughter is more concerned about the life she will face with her boyfriend. She wants to stay and live with her boyfriend. She is not as persistent as her parents when going abroad. When people and the audience were nervous about her achievements, she, as a party, took it lightly. Through the auxiliary story line, we can understand that the daughter did not come into contact with the real Romanian society in the process of growing up. She lives in the ideal country created by her parents for her. She may take it for granted that there is no difference between Romania and the British life. Any difference, it's just that the parents are a little too neurotic. The final open ending gives the audience a broad space for imagination. The audience can imagine any ending, and all outcomes are possible. It just depends on which angle you will think about. As the author, the director has already done what he should do. Everything, the next step, it's your turn.
2. The mother's exam
The mother is actually a weakened character in the film. To a certain extent, her role is even overshadowed by her lover. The mother in the film has never stepped into her in-law's house, has no concern for her husband and daughter, and has no close friends to talk to. As a bystander to everything around her, her mother's exam line was buried too deep, because her exam had ended as early as 1991, and in fact, her score was doomed to fail before the exam. The generation of Romanians after returning home is eager to build an ideal country of their own, but the outcome has long been self-evident, and their country has not changed. A father would say to your mother that the fair outcome for you is to be a librarian, and you can see that the mother was not as bad as it is today. If we are wondering why the father as a doctor is actually not bad in Romanian society, why he sent his daughter to the country with all his efforts, then the answer lies in the mother, the father's social status is because he has done a lot of things that a mother can't do Come, the parents do not want their daughter to repeat the mistakes of the mother.
3. Father's Exam
The father is the core of the relationship between the characters in the film. Through him, the audience can get a glimpse of the whole picture of Romanian society. From the deputy mayor to the lover, the problems faced by all levels of this society are vividly reflected. In the mouth of the deputy mayor, he said, "I have offended many people in this position, but I have also made many good friends." In his mouth, his friends are all good people. Although he is in a high position, he does not forget to constantly weave his own relationship. network. The sheriff and the dean of the exam said the most is "He is a good man, he has helped me", if you look at it from the plot, this is a harmonious society that helps each other, why does the father do everything possible to send the child abroad Woolen cloth? It all starts with the sense of humiliation, and I think it is this sense of humiliation that is the core of the film and the hope of the nation. After the father contacted the dean of the examination through the relationship of the deputy mayor, he came home not happy, but full of humiliation. He once again did something that he despised. The high score of 9.6 in the test makes him proud, he still lives in this society with the pride of an intellectual, but this time he can get his daughter to get a good score in other ways, and he even has to suppress his inner feelings. Humiliation to gain forgiveness from mother and daughter. Father's performance in this scene showed the audience what he had experienced in the past 20 years without reservation. He must have also experienced struggles. The essence of this kind of society that appears to be mutual aid is based on the humiliation of every honest person. over the sense. However, it is this sense of humiliation that gives us hope for a turnaround. When people still feel humiliated, it means that they have not given up on themselves. They may have experienced a lot, but they are still who they used to be in their hearts. The father's exam is to test the bottom line, the moral bottom line of an intellectual or a citizen. Father did not accept the threat of the inspection agency and violated his heart, and refused their request to question the dying deputy mayor. He adhered to his vocation as a doctor, at least in this examination room, he was excellent.
4. The audience's examination The
audience is the object of the director's appeal. How do you feel about such a graduation examination? In the movie, everyone gave up their resistance, and their choice was to escape. When you watch this scene, will you choose the same compromise and escape, or will you contribute your own strength to change this deformed society? This is a simple multiple choice question, but it makes it difficult for many people to write it.
