Teacher Gao of Shuiquan Primary School took a month off because of his mother's serious illness. The village chief finally found a substitute teacher who was only 13 years old and had just graduated from the primary school - Wei Minzhi. Under Mr. Gao's instruction that "no one is missing", Wei Minzhi watched over 28 naughty students with her stubbornness. The story took a turn when Zhang Huike dropped out of school and went to work in the city. Wei Minzhi collected money and went to the city to find him. After several twists and turns, he finally found Zhang Huike with the mercy and help of the TV station director. The ending of the movie is that Shuiquan Primary School received a batch of donations and improved the teaching environment.
Director Zhang made this part of the city very real. In order to achieve a real effect, the film uses covert shooting in many places, showing people's indifference and enthusiasm to the fullest. For example, Wei Minzhi asked for directions on the way to the TV station, and after being refused entry to the TV station, he asked everyone if he was the director of the TV station one by one.
One of the labels of this film is "documentary", which is the real "documentary". The main characters, such as the village chief, Mr. Gao, Wei Minzhi, and Zhang Huike, are all from the countryside near the filming location. The Shuiquan Primary School, where the filming took place, is also a real rural poverty-stricken primary school. This kind of real scene and real people can bring shocking story effects.
The most touching thing is the appropriate detail shooting in the film, the emotion is sincere and moving.
"Chalk" is one of the "protagonists" of the detail shooting. Before Mr. Gao left, he handed over 26 pieces of chalk to Wei Minzhi, and told her to "copy a text on the blackboard every day, and you need a piece of chalk". Here is a close-up of Mr. Gao's hand and chalk Close-up shooting, this detail emphasizes the real and sad feeling to the audience. Later, Zhang Huike made a mess and knocked down the broken podium with missing feet, and the chalk was scattered all over the place. Wei Minzhi stepped on the chalk and grabbed it in anger. The close-up of the camera was when Wei Minzhi stepped on the chalk, and Zhang Mingxian, who was picking up the chalk next to him, immediately said: " Stepping on the chalk!" Wei Minzhi didn't hear it, and then she grabbed Zhang Huike and smashed the chalk again... This section paved the way for the later "diary incident". This real and sad scene is a class taught by students to teachers!
In the comment, there is a sentence "This depth is six galaxies higher than that of the childhood". Although this is an exaggerated joke, it also expresses my viewing experience.
"No One Less" was widely praised after its release and won a series of awards. But the controversy about Wei Minzhi is also one of the reasons why the movie's ratings have not soared. Many viewers commented that "Wei Minzhi, as a teacher, does not even have the most basic qualities, courtesy, and even the correct three views as a teacher." They thought that such comments were biased. In fact, apart from materials, the saddest thing is that the teacher-student relationship is "children with children".
Under the difficult conditions of lack of teachers and materials in Shuiquan Village, 13-year-old Wei Minzhi received only the same primary education as Shuiquan Primary School. In other words, if Wei Minzhi like this is prudent and dignified when leading students, and has many polite and thoughtful ideas when he enters the city, it is estimated that this is a hypocritical and bad movie that satisfies the audience's sense of superiority.
This "teacher" is just a child, she is not good at expressing herself, she doesn't know how to manage mischievous children, and she doesn't even know the fare of the bus into the city... but she chases the car to keep the students Run; in order to find Zhang Huike, who dropped out of school and went to the city but got lost, spent all the money to buy pen, ink and paper to write a missing person notice at the train station overnight (in the end, the kind uncle told me that this method would not work); at the TV station, the aunt refused to ridicule him at the reception Later, she can also stand at the gate of the TV station to intercept the passing "people with glasses" to find the station director... She has no efficient methods and strategies, and some are just stubborn and practical. But just with this unyielding strength, she is already great enough.
What is a movie? Or, what should a movie be? I can't answer the standard statement. But what I think, and what I'm looking forward to, a good movie should be an art that reflects the reality of life, arouses universal resonance in people's hearts, and at the same time carries out spiritual sublimation. "No One Can Be Missed" is such a movie. It reflects the truth and gives back to the society with positive energy. It is indeed a good movie.
