are many elements in the film. Here are some personal opinions on some of the elements in the film
. Father is indifferent and disabled. The lack of paternal love will inevitably cause him to pay attention to older men. The film focuses on the teacher Gilman and Raphael's father. When Claude went to Raphael's house for the second time, he imagined Raphael's father making soap in the bathroom. This should be the sexual impulse of adolescent boys, coupled with family influence, is also an attempt to get close to older men. And this must have found support in his teacher. The teacher admired his talent, but he used this as an excuse to coerce the teacher. It is not so much Claude's evil, as it is his willful psychology towards his older father. He is completing an exchange with his teacher. He satisfies his literary creation enthusiasm and voyeuristic psychology, and he obtains his special attention and comfort.
2. Oedipus: For Claude, who is also lacking in maternal love, the feminine woman in the middle-class family is undoubtedly a huge attraction. The breath of mature women stimulates Claude's hormones. Men's dependence and love for women are often only a thin line apart.
3. Teacher-student: The teacher-student relationship is actually a very ambiguous state. Because they all know and love the same thing, they are also better able to explore and understand each other's inner loneliness. It is also easier to wipe out sparks. You can become a confidant, and you can easily become a lover with a little sublimation. In the film, Gilman is frustrated with literature, and people will inevitably be discouraged with dreams in their middle age. Therefore, the appearance of Claude lighted up his long-silent longing for literary creation. He had high hopes like grabbing a life-saving straw, and was deeply obsessed with Claude's literary talent. Two times in the film discussing the description of the character's direction in front of the blackboard, it conveys to us a change from Gilman’s leadership of Claude in his writing to his admiration for Claude’s talent; at the same time, Claude I am also gradually controlling the teacher, from controlling his curiosity to controlling his entire life.
4. The middle class: This film focuses more on the middle class, so the usual talk about the middle class starts again. Crowder was curious about the life of the ordinary middle class more than once because of the incompleteness of his family. Their anxiety and anxiety linger on the edge of reality and ideal life. Both Gilman and Raphael’s families are truly middle-class, on the surface they are calm and dull, but on the inside they seem to be close to each other. As the main component of Western society, middle-class families are often in a suspended state, thus creating their repressive living conditions. And the indifferent life is a hotbed that arouses their desire for voyeurism. When the film officially began, Gilman and his wife both encountered a turning point in their careers. Gilman started working as a French teacher in a middle school, and noticed Claude in a pile of boring diaries; and his wife’s art gallery might be in danger of being closed. Soon after the beginning of the article, as Claude got in-depth understanding, we found that the Raphael couple also encountered the same problem. Mr. Raphael tried to break away from his disrespectful boss and develop independently, and his wife had planned to renovate the house for a long time. It may also cause a miscarriage. The appearance of Crowder intensified the hidden contradictions between the two families.
5. School Uniform: From the beginning of the film, it was emphasized that the school requires students to wear uniform uniforms in the new semester. Obviously Gilman did not agree with this. He ate bread among a group of applauding teachers, and then talked with the principal. The conversation claimed that the reform of school uniforms was a tragedy. What the school emphasizes is the equality of school uniforms to children, while Gilman believes that school uniforms turn children into a flock of sheep. Wrap the characteristics of the students in the same skin. But he couldn't see the human evil that Claude brought to him under this skin.
6. Literature and mathematics: I personally think that the literature and mathematics mentioned in the film are the two entrances of fiction and reality, sensibility and rationality. Crowder brought us from a rational real world into the virtual world of perceptual literary creation on the grounds of tutoring mathematics. When Claude said that mathematics would never disappoint me at least, he tried to abandon the story and return to the real world of rationality.
7. Art museum: The art museum symbolizes the Gilmans’ marriage. It had been a bleak business before, but a turning point occurred on the same day. They both tried to get rid of their failures, but they both ushered in the ultimate destruction weakly.
8. Same-sex kiss: There were also sudden same-sex kisses in the director's "Bameitu". Raphael's kiss to Claude in this film may be adolescent ignorance. Raphael is a very harmless and ordinary boy. He lives in a warm and happy family and is very dependent on his parents. And Claude's strong intrusion made Raphael feel the joy brought by a good friend. And Claude's emphasis on his poor life experience is mixed with all the subtle emotions that his classmates make when reading the composition in public, resulting in unspeakable emotions.
9. China: Leaving aside the embarrassing diplomatic relations between China and France, the image of China in this film is almost always beautiful. In the heart of Raphael's father, China is a country that respects each other and is full of endless opportunities. After a series of events, they chose to move to China; and in Gilman's wife's art gallery, the clouds in Shanghai are full of artistic beauty. Therefore, China has become a utopia in the hearts of a group of middle class. Fantasy can escape the unsatisfactory real life.
