Boarding school: Bullies make "school rules"

I want to talk about a 2003 Swedish film, "School Rules", if it is literally translated according to the title Ondskan, it should be evil. The biggest achievement of this film should be nominated for the 76th Oscar for Best Foreign Language Film. The work is worth seeing, but I personally feel that the digging is not deep enough, and my feet have scratched on the subject of campus bullying, and I just have a taste. To sum up the whole film in one sentence, the unfortunate male protagonist of the family has made it through under the bullying of the boarding school.

The above are my critical words.

But I do want to talk about the damn school violence.

It turns out that you really will be full of resentment at a certain time in your life, and even resent yourself at that time.

You think that everything you have experienced is over long ago, and you think you have seen everything clearly, but there is always a certain point that will suddenly hit you. Those past floods overwhelm your reason. You may even get distorted joy because of the miserable life of that bully. In fact, that person has nothing to do with you long ago. When the anger fades, TA has been thrown into the trash can of memory long ago.

In my impression, boarding school has always been associated with campus bullying. Dolan has posted his own experience as a student on ins. In boarding school, bullying and being bullied alternated repeatedly. In fact, the human nature of the world is not much different. The closed environment of the campus forms a world. On the one hand, the power controller is proud of his control over other peers, and on the other hand, he has to find ways to maintain his own position. Therefore, he will often threaten people by acting as a demon, setting off his own image with a sense of fear. If someone refuses to obey, it hurts his pride, and he must be driven to death. In essence, this kind of people are taking the path of successful people. I am very powerful. You all envy me, and you are all afraid of me. It's just that successful people in the traditional sense will be more tactful when they do things and have a group of followers in a benign way, which is sharp and does not lose Buddhism. But for people like bullies who can't slap three slaps, seeking violence seems to be the only way out.

I think the reason why the film did not go deep is also here. The film only discusses how the power holder enjoys and maintains his power, but does not go deep into the relationship between power and human nature. Desire can change human nature. Everyone has something to stick to, but this situation can be changed. What's interesting is that this process is generally imperceptible, and "no bottom line" is not formed overnight. Some people have written a scum cultivating note without knowing it.

The entry point of "School Rules" is the male lead's family. A common setting, a cowardly and incompetent mother + a brutal stepfather. When the stepfather beat the male lead, the mother happily played the cat and mouse theme song. Okay, just kidding. This is a very rigid way of explaining the background of the characters. The advantage is that it is simple and effective. But just like I don't like writing parallel sentences, three paragraphs, grace is beautiful, and there is always a little bit of aura.

One of the tragedies in life is homelessness. To make matters worse, having a home is not as good as being homeless. In a sense, a harmonious family can bring strength to members. A fragile family may only bring some tea eggshells.

The hero's fearlessness in school stems from his helplessness. Dead pigs are not afraid of boiling water. This is probably the reason. The only time he converged was when he had something to protect in his heart after talking to his mother, so he couldn't get arrogant anymore. Sometimes, a person's patience is to protect what he cares about. If you are too sullen and leave him with nothing, he may really kill you. At that time, it's not certain who will be the father. In this society, there are too many examples of death. From the school violence incidents, we can see the big from the small.

Well, the last thing I don't want to mention is the emotional line of the film. Although not much, it is very tasteless. I can only sigh with emotion, cultural differences, and cultural differences, can be regarded as embellishments for the movie. Different people have different opinions. The scale also takes care of young people. CCTV6 has introduced this film and let it off happily on TV. The degree of purity can be seen. This car leads to the kindergarten, please get off the middle school students.

The finale is "teacher". When I was young, I always regarded "teacher" as a kind of identity, and after adulthood, "teacher" degenerated into a profession. Your teacher becomes a teacher not because he is different from you, but precisely because he is no different from you. The problem of food and clothing has to be solved, interpersonal communication, slacking on horses, and the way to survive. When it's time to counsel, you should counsel, be clear and protect yourself, but you can't blame it. In campus bullying incidents, teachers often disappear. They are not ignorant of what happened, but the cost of doing something is too great.

Bullied people often suffer from the teacher's indifference and incompetence. What the young shadow teaches them is not to respect their teachers and have faith, but how to be self-reliant. Learn to save yourself, endure or resist. In short, ask for more blessings.

In this society, there is never a shortage of people who are professional teachers, but people who are worthy of teachers. But the confusing place is also here. There is no clear rule to define the standard of teacher's identity. The teacher that the student likes may not be the teacher that the teacher's parents like, and the teacher with good performance may not be trustworthy.

Finally, praise the friendship between the host and his roommate. There is contradiction but no betrayal. This is probably the most precious aspect of an emotion.

I hope that all those who have been in the shadows of time, go round and round, and finally return to the simplest and most yearning time.
