Today, let's talk about Cannes winning works - graduation examination
This quasi-artistic film that reflects social reality may not be your favorite, but the social issues and moral principles it explores must be self-reflection. The plot then turns to the home, a seemingly normal family without a trace of warmth. They put it together just so that the daughter can pass the exam smoothly. This is also the only goal of the whole film or the only goal of the father. He doesn't want his daughter to stay in this chaos full of In the unequal Romanian society, their generation has no ability to change the status quo. Maybe the younger generation can do something, but they must get out of this chaotic environment. This is also the obsession of my father.
The sick grandmother said to her father, "You said that she spoiled her too much, so she didn't have to face those difficulties." The father said, "We already have our own difficulties." It was sad, so in order to help his daughter pass the exam, the father used it in the follow-up story. Even changing the usual way of doing things has almost collapsed the moral code formed by educating my daughter over the years. Cheating in exams is ignoring the existing rules.
But are the rules really ruthless and affectionate? At the end of the 3-hour examination time, the invigilator really made it easier because my daughter cried. It seems that the sublimated and controversial warmth here can break the cold rules.
The whole film revolves around a sick mother, a broken marriage, a lover's daughter's future and education, who dare not promise When the lover's son was facing difficulties in going to school, she once said, "You never put me first. I'm used to it." In fact, this relationship was not as strong as she imagined, but why did she become such a person who dare not promise Because his life is already busy enough, he can't even get involved in his mother's business, and he doesn't even have time to mow the lawn. Everyone is busy or restless individuals.
Besides, the wives and wives who have been estranged have already "acquiesced" to the husband's derailment because she also knows that this marriage has existed in name only for the sake of her daughter's exams and plans to go abroad. Here, the wife's opinion on her daughter's going abroad is not strong, and she still obeys her daughter. She can even go wherever her daughter goes. She still has a glimmer of hope and fantasy about the Romanian society today Everyone is full of confidence, but good wishes are just wishes will be wiped out by time, so my wife hides herself in a library day after day, but there is no way to do it
The main scene of wife and husband is in the library in order to compromise with his daughter. The father decides to have a talk with his wife, but it is just a talk with no obvious remorse. He says "I don't know how we became enemies" but When love passes away, there is still responsibility The urgency and panic of trying to find the person "monitoring" his life that night
The character father walks on the edge of morality. He also has principles and bottom lines. He cannot easily let go of these many things. The contradiction is evident in his heart.
Everything was supposed to be smooth. The conflict started when my daughter almost had an accident on the eve of the exam. Here, we have to admire the director's selection of this point. Everything seems to be reasonable, but it also reflects the reality. So much so that the "connected households" later said that if this happened to me, I believe I would do the same..
As a doctor, the father is working with the police chief who is handling his daughter's case, adhering to the principle of "grace and acceptance are worthy of the heart". The interplay between one ring and one ring shows the decay and deep-rootedness of the social mechanism.
My sick mother once said to my father, "It's the same everywhere.." It's true. It's the same everywhere. If you walk out of a swamp, if you're not strong enough, you're likely to walk into another quagmire. Social problems in Romania are actually the status quo in many places.
Morality or occasional compromise is the eternal question we face. If it is a highly civilized country, we may not realize it for a while, but in such a country that is not safe enough, we suffer from it.
But I don't think it's correct to let my daughter cheat. What is right and what is fair? Could it be overturned all because of an accident? If the means achieve the same result, then the original intention will be lost This may be one of the ways to succeed
The little boy with the language barrier at the end explains why he throws stones "because they don't follow the rules" here goes my knees for the director here's a big foreshadowing! ! The first time my father was stoned was after a private meeting with his lover. The second time he was stoned was because he walked up and down and encouraged his daughter to cheat, so it was never someone who followed him, but the director used a realistic approach to simulate a person's impact on society. Unruly people make judgments because dad was unruly and got smashed glass and car windows
Watch this film and hope you understand that even in the face of injustice there are ways to do it but being one of those who don't play by the rules is never the right way
The director of this film, Christian Mongy, who filmed the mountain outside the mountains, won awards for three weeks and two days in April, and praised the graduation examination. The theme is also so profound. The directing skills are indeed worthy of recognition, but I don't know when you watched this film. Have you ever thought that another director, Ashar Farhadi, who has filmed a parting and a salesman, is also very good at such social themes. Many people say that their shooting styles are not the same. We do not discuss this, but they are The ability to capture social problems, expose and express social phenomena, we have to say that they are all successful. If you haven’t watched all these films, we may have to make up for them. What should I do if I'm depressed?
