This is the worst educator. They are selfish, greedy, and cunning.
These are the best educators, they have cultivated people who destroy themselves.
Hugh Jackman's modeling of Frank Tanesson's archetype character can be said to have both god and form.
Although I don’t know what Frank looks like, but from this familiar and unfamiliar face of Hugh Jackman, I saw a Hugh Jackman I didn’t know—sharp nose, meticulous hairstyle, although not bizarre. , But it made me feel like a throat. After watching the film, we can give him a qualitative temperament.
Cunning, persevering, arrogant, proud, organized
The commonality of great people or criminals.
The shots at the beginning of the film did not show his front face. We can see his chin and meticulous hairstyle, but as his back moves forward, the light and dark interlaced light and dark changes are the characteristics of many biographical films. , Also often reflects the protagonist’s unpredictable destiny. With the introduction of his achievements in the background, the camera came to the podium and came under the lights, showing him under the eyes of the parents and teachers. He was a community member. Heroes, great men, idols, at this time the camera turns to his front.
With a look of pride and pride, he enjoys the admiration of everyone's eyes and the stage spotlight of enjoyment.
At the same time, echoing with it is the final credits, the same shooting technique, partial and close-up shots, in prison, Frank seems to have returned to the apex of his glory, as if back to the stadium podium, back to the lights under.
In the film, Frank appeared on the podium of the stadium three times.
For the first time, at the beginning of the film, it was the culmination of his brilliance.
The second time was the Dongchuang incident. The celebrity superintendent who had been on the board of directors and suppressed the scandal has turned into stinky shit, with fine sweat on his face, and heaving words, completely two people from the beginning of the film. ；
For the third time, Frank has been trapped inside the bars. He can only recall the beauty and glory of the past through his imagination. At the end of the endless prison corridor, it seems to be the school gymnasium, and he hears it again. With the familiar radio sound, the same lines, the same introduction, the only difference is that the Rosslyn School District of New York has become the number one in North America.
Ten years of time is like a dream.
In the film, it is not just Frank that is worthy of condemnation.
His assistant, Mrs. Pam, the business manager, is simply a copy of her boss, with a glamorous appearance, and in the interior she embezzled more public funds than Frank! What about the private life of a model who seems to be hardworking and enthusiastic? She has to spend money to maintain her luxury homes and villas, to let her daughter go to private colleges, to have parties, to pay for the consumption of her niece... In time, she had been upright, and eventually she was under the pressure of consumerism and the perfect image. In the middle of the night, facing the computer alone, secretly revising the receipts, even if it is the polite greeting of the cleaning staff, she can be scared to death.
What's even more ironic is that when she resigned because of her failure, so many students and parents paid her a sincere tribute!
It is ironic.
What's even more ironic is that the school board, which knows everything, also puts on a hypocritical face in front of the media to extend condolences to this woman who stole everyone's money.
The management of this school district, this board of directors, is nothing more than a group of selfish citizens.
When they learned of Mrs. Pam’s embezzlement of public funds, they took it for granted that the public was outraged. This was natural. Mrs. Pam was embezzling taxpayers’ money, as well as their money. Just when they wanted to call the police, Frank persuaded them with a few words, which only lasted 5 minutes.
What happens to the Roslin School District if Mrs. Pam is caught?
This question is before everyone.
The federal budget has decreased, the competitiveness of schools has declined, and the source of students has decreased.
These questions just made them hesitate, and the following words of Frank directly talked about their fatal pain point——
All of this will lead to the depreciation of surrounding real estate and the reduction of real estate taxes.
This is the key to persuading the board to cover up the scandal!
The funding for public primary and secondary schools in the United States mainly comes from real estate taxes in the surrounding areas of the school.
So they chose to remain silent.
So they chose to go all out.
Although Frank and Pam were the only ones who embezzled them, the board of directors was to blame.
It was their student, a reporter from The Peak Beacon, Rachel who stabbed this layer of lies.
Although they are sinners, they cannot obliterate their contributions. It is these greedy and selfish guys who built Roslin High School into a top school in the United States, giving students more resources in sports, news, etc. Even in the face of Rachel's investigation, they handed over the key to the filing cabinet (of course, the latter was also out of a mentality of revenge).
Even at the end of the road, after the scandal was exposed, Frank still communicated sincerely with the children who wanted to talk to him and confided in his heart.
I must admit that Frank cares more about the students than these parents, even if he deceived everyone.
I have cultivated a child who destroyed myself, I don't know whether it is regret or gratification.
From the narrative technique to the photography style, the film is a biopic, but from the director's level, I can't say any commendable highlights. There are only the first side shots and close-ups of the entire school board. It is quite a bright spot. The charm of other films is brought by Uncle Wolf, Hugh Jackman. It can be said that the in-depth characterization of the characters in this film is the most successful of Hugh Jackman in recent years. Frank’s concealment of his own secrets, as well as his usual positive image and the dark side behind it, the abandonment of accomplices, the cleaning of related personnel, homosexuality, and multiple same-sex lovers, produced a huge contrast. In the film, Hugh Jackman But the state was from beginning to end, there was no big emotion, until the final explosive chanting, revealing the essence and romance of the scandal.
In particular, the issue of homosexuality is still taboo for middle-class settlements like Long Island. I think this is the main reason why Frank concealed it for thirty years.
Another thing to mention is that Ray Remano plays one of the school directors in this film. Recently, he has always been seen playing supporting roles, including the lawyer who played in "The Irishman" before, but anyway, every time I see him He can always think of "Everyone Loves Raymond."
In the end, what caused Frank's destruction, except his own greed.
In the eyes of Americans, greed is not a crime, but a direct driving force for the development of capitalism.
Around 85 minutes into the film, Hugh Jackman's one-man show recites, which can be called a textbook-like classic acting eruption, and it also points out the root of everything.
These ugly behaviors are not only caused by their own greed, but also because of the parents here, crazy comparisons, sacrifices of their own children, to achieve their own abnormal satisfaction, despise the existence of teachers, and treat them as only improving themselves Childish tool man.
Do you remember the teacher who sat next to you, held your hand, and taught you addition?
What do they look like?
