I can't fucking go back

In my eyes, there are only two types of European films: one is the poetic drama of Andrei Tarkovsky; the other is the realistic record of Michael Haneke. "High School Class" obviously belongs to the latter, whether it is the picture or the plot, it is so real that the audience on and off the screen and the movie have a needle-point twitch. I thought it was another campus youth film, but the first shot of the film denied my guess.

A certain high school sophomore class in a certain middle school, a certain young French male teacher, certain descendants of immigrants from Africa, the Middle East, and Asia, a certain conflict that we almost encountered in our school days, all things are common and can be combined together , The difference appears: Americans may turn this movie into a relatively joyful youth school drama or a racial drama with emotional appeal; the Chinese may definitely use this movie as a record The format of the plot is packaged into a main theme educational film that allows students to write an afterthought after the school organizes students to observe collectively in various township movie theaters; while the French, French President Nicolas Sarkozy can come forward to help bail the Polish university who molested the girl. Guide Roman Polanski, yes, French people value art and humanistic care, so "High School Classroom" uses repetitive and boring documentary shots to restore people and society in form; in terms of humanistic care, it is a country of freedom, equality and fraternity. slogan interprets France, a large European country of immigrants, and uses slogan, a country of freedom, equality, and fraternity, to focus its lens on young students and teachers who are receiving high school education.

The most memorable group of shots is the end. It’s summer vacation. In the empty classroom, the desks are swaying around, and the voice is shrouded by a football match composed of teachers and students downstairs...because at that moment, I felt a kind of heartache: I can't fucking go back to the past.
