This is another work directed by Daisiri Akavan. I wrote about her self-written, directed and acted Virgo "Iranian Breakup" before.
The background of the film is in the 90s, but the style looks more like the early 80s, so I turned back and looked at the beginning, only to find out that it was in 1992. Maybe it’s because the story happened in a small place in the northern part of the United States? There have been two fitness TV shows in the film, the icon is rainbow, and the effect is quite ironic.
The plot of this movie reminds me of the 1999 American movie "But I'm a Cheerleader" (But I'm a Cheerleader). There are many similarities in the plot: the correction school was run by the brothers and sisters, the younger brother was once gay, and there are both There are good babies who try to pretend to be straight, and there are rebellious children who don't listen to that set. In the end, the protagonists escape in a car (even the car is the same). This work is based on the novel of the same name. It is difficult to judge whether this is the original setting in the novel after reading the novel.
But compared to "Cheerleader" with more exaggerated tactics, "Mistaken Education" has no exaggerated characters, and the plot has no major ups and downs. There is only one last point in the intensification of contradictions. The approach that is almost recorded makes people feel closer to reality.
This film can see the growth of the director Desirui Akavan. The rhythm and plot advancement of the film are more in line with the characteristics of American commercial films, and the performance methods are more popular. But her scene switching is still quite hard, maybe this is her personal style.
I like the use of tones in this film, the appearance of students "actively transforming" in the bright environment of the school; all the fantasy and reality about the same sex are under very dark light; the final escape is the early morning before dawn.
Although the protagonist of the story is Cameron, each child has a different experience. According to the guidance of the school, they make various excuses for their own orientation. They are ashamed of their own orientation and desperately want to change it, but they get nothing. It is greater struggle and pain.
Suddenly it became heavy, let's gossip. Cameron, played by Kolo, was interrupted 5 times in this film with H skill reading. It was quite "difficult" to play this role, and it hurts for three seconds.
Her role in this film feels very special, and her little T is full of aura. Not paying attention to gossip, I remembered that she was still the little girl who was dating the Beckham family boss. I didn't expect to check it. She came out in 18 years, so the aura in the film... is it true? By the way, it was found that she has 4 older brothers. The second and third brothers are GAY. She also expressed support for the LGBT community when she appeared in the film.
The actor of the little girlfriend Coley who asked the heroine to be sent for correction is Quinn Shefard (yes, that ’s the little girl who plays Claire, the youngest daughter of Shaw Gen’s family in POI ), who has no baby fat, and has become tall and thin. , It's really where Ji Quan doesn't meet (but she is a scumbag).
======== In following is a summary of the play through, see Shen = =======
Cameron is an orphan and is raised by relatives. She loves to run, has a sensitive personality, and speaks little.
She was in high school and had a boyfriend in name, but she was always restrained and uncomfortable around him. At the school prom, Cameron and female classmate Coley sneaked into the car and made love and were found by their boyfriend.
She was sent to the Christian "correction school" by her aunt. The school was centrally managed. During the day, she studied together, communicated and ate together, and was often checked by the teacher at night.
Dr. Lydia and Pastor Rick manage the school. They talked to the students individually and gave them a picture, which is an iceberg, so that they can analyze why they are attracted to the same sex, what external influences they come from, and fill in the reasons. Put it on the bedside to warn yourself. Cameron began to adapt to life here as much as possible, and found that her roommate Erin and other classmates were good babies who listened to the teacher. It was also discovered that Jane and Adam had never taken the school rules seriously, and were fighting against the school. Later, they gradually became friends.
Cameron received a letter from Coley, saying that it was Cameron's misunderstanding of their friendship. Cameron clearly knew that Coley had chosen to escape and put the blame on herself, but she was still criticizing herself, Jane and Adam comforted her. She was very sad, and secretly called her aunt to go home, but was refused. She had to continue to live here honestly, studying, correcting, and running, day after day, carefully.
One night Cameron had a spring dream and woke up the good baby Erin. Erin and Cameron did it. After that, she regretted it. She was obviously attracted by Cameron and wanted to maintain her image as a good boy. Cameron thought all this was ridiculous.
One day, Adam's roommate Mark suffered a nervous breakdown because of the accusation in his father's letter. After venting with Dr. Lydia, he went to the palace at night. He was sent away for treatment, and the students became more suspicious of the correction they received.
The school was investigated because of this incident, but the officials who came to investigate were only concerned about their safety in the school and whether they were threatened or harmed. For them, correcting homosexuality is not their concern.
In the end, Cameron, Jane, and Adam met, burned their "iceberg" full of reasons, and hitchhiked away together.
