Poppy's beautiful life

This film is really good.
This film can be regarded as a documentary. The protagonist is an older girl POPPY, British, 30 years old, teaching in an elementary school, and living in the same small apartment with friend and colleague ZOE for ten years. As a foreign teacher of English, I have traveled to many places. I love to play on trampoline in my spare time (later changed to flamenco), get up to work by bike every day (because she can’t drive), go to work with a bunch of sisters every other day, and drink and drink. ; She is not too beautiful, she has a figure. . . . It's okay, the clothes are more fancy, and there is no boyfriend; her younger sister has a cooler style, and she is admitted to college this year, but her grades are average. . . . . . .
Is it a bit cumbersome? It doesn't matter. If you can tolerate the slow pace of the film and don't hate the heroine's acting style, then you will almost like POPPY, a curious and extremely optimistic older child. Her optimism is in her bones, she will laugh if she doesn't finish the three sentences, and she will walk around. Comments from outsiders are not important to her. What is more valuable is that she has been working hard to make everyone around her happy. Is it a bit like an angel who loves beauty? Kind of, but Aimei is more like a frightened deer. She will do something for you silently, but she won't nag a bookstore buddy for a long time. . . . .
If you refuse to accept quality, the capitalist society is better than us. For such a woman who is a bit like a neurotic, the British have shown great tolerance and understanding, at most they smiled awkwardly, and never murmured at each other. Of course, this is also the majority. When the woods are big, there are all kinds of birds. Where there are people, there are left, middle and right. . . . . . . Next, I’m going to introduce POPPY’s driving instructor MR SCOTT.
This gentleman is a middle-aged angry young, fierce, and a little bit prematurely decayed. He wears a stud on his right ear. He is dissatisfied with everything around him, especially dissatisfied with the current education system. As a driving instructor, he is serious and responsible for his work, but his students don't love him much. Such a bitter and enmity character and the open-minded POPPY formed two distinct levels. Although their opponent scenes did not have hilarious effects, I think they are wonderful.
If we follow the path of romantic comedy, then we will see that two people start from not understanding each other, and finally cannot be separated, and each other becomes part of each other. Of course, the road is tortuous, among which bumps and bumps, big and small friction, misunderstandings, the third party, the best friend's sister is indispensable. If they follow the path of escape from the tiger's mouth or BOD BOYS, they will eventually become life-and-death friends. Of course, the process will not be smooth sailing. Several SSs, drug dealers, FBI and British Air Force will come out to join the scene. . . . . . . .
Unfortunately, this is a documentary, at least a pseudo-documentary, and it rejects the cliché plot of commercial films. Therefore, in the last 20 minutes, we saw that the coach and the students quarreled fiercely and even moved a little hand. POPPY fired him, but did not call the police to arrest him. Perhaps, SCOTT was suppressed by this society. He hated the society, and the society did not accept him. The more hated, the less accepted, and finally there was a big explosion. As for POPPY, she has become more serious. She argues for reasons and she does not look like a weak woman at all, and she is very principled, which is not seen in the first half of the film. If you ask me what this paragraph expresses, my answer is that the image of POPPY has become three-dimensional and plump, but as for the sublimation of the theme, I did not see it. . . . .
It is worth noting that POPPY played with a homeless opponent. The man was not very good and had dirty body, so most people would avoid it, while POPPY talked with him for a long time, no one could understand what they said. what. My understanding is that children, POPPY, homeless people, they all belong to one category of people. They have a simple mind and are not accepted by the world. Poppy is the same category as them and can communicate with them, while others cannot understand. As a result, children will grow up and become secular powers, POPPY will hit nails everywhere, and homeless people may die on the streets. The world is too big to tolerate a pure heart, maybe SCOTT's accusation is not completely unreasonable. The director is here with ulterior motives, which is what makes this film different from other vulgar comedies.
This film has no hilarious plot from beginning to end, it is too life-like, so I say it is a documentary. And what supports the whole movie is the performance of the heroine POPPY and her rivalry with MR SCOTT. Such a film requires actors’ acting skills. I can only remember Mr. Bean’s film series and the Italian film "Life is Beautiful". Both of them are world-class big bowls. Maybe in the future, we Plus Lisa Hawkins.
In view of her excellent performance in the film, I strongly support Lisa after the Oscar is closed, although it is unlikely.

POF, so tired, it's the first time to write so long.
