Walk the walk——Difficulty is the best teacher

I remember that the political textbook of junior high school reads "Difficulties are like springs. If you are weak, they will be strong; if you are strong, they will be weak." After watching this film, I suddenly felt that the film presents a more positive and direct attitude, but it will also be more painful.

The film tells the story of Ryder Cohen’s personal growth announced by the owner of an incurable "Tourie's disease". From elementary school to his adult work, life story of finding love. People with Tourette's disease often twitch their body. Is there a wrong message in the head that forces people to make "noises". A rare disease, so few people know it, and the result is that everyone doesn't understand it. Family, father’s distrust, school, teachers, and classmates’ misunderstandings, in public places, you must always be prepared to accept the voices of public criticism and ridicule, even the surprised and weird expressions that appear after explaining the situation, etc. The unacceptance and suspicion of everyone in the job search... Fortunately he has a wise mummy, and let him meet a principal who knows how to use knowledge to wipe out ignorance, and gradually he has to take off the people around him with him." Tinted glasses". As a result, Brad grows up healthily. He is confident, sunny and able to deal with the so-called real "noise" around him.

Many people choose to ignore or hesitate when faced with difficulties, and the trail of evasion is undoubtedly revealed. In the film, where Brad goes, there is a shadow of Tourette's disease. He can't escape, he can only choose to face it. Brad, viewed it normally, he can communicate with people and be asked questions, but he must not be accepted. When a principal issues a prohibition order, he shakes his head and leaves. Many people are always at a loss for dreams. In the film, we can't see BlackRock's confusion here. Perhaps, as his stepmother said, it was Tourette's disease that made him realize his dream of being a teacher. So, Walk the walk, maybe you can see something else.

Note: The film uses the protagonist's self-telling method when recalling. The present and the past are interspersed, because it is sometimes fast and sometimes medium speed, which has a sense of speed, which enriches the form of the film.
