I wonder if I had watched this movie when I was a freshman, would I be a different kind of person now, or would my life be different from now? This film tells the story of Hart, a freshman at Harvard, under the guidance of Professor Kingsfield's Socratic teaching method, and his continuous growth and exploration, becoming a person who is good at analyzing problems and able to think independently. Hart, who has mastered the Socratic questioning experience, has not only mastered the method of learning, but also found a path that suits his own life. From then on, his life will become more clear and meaningful. The film attracts the most attention|My thing is exactly what the Socratic learning method is, but my understanding of it only stays at asking questions and checking questions. It is a kind of tool that can improve our analysis of problems and find a suitable way of life. I think the biggest advantage of this film is that it let me know that there is a Socratic learning method. Now I don’t understand what this is, so I can’t write anything, but this film Shen strongly recommends freshmen Go see it, especially law students.
