Zi said: There is no kind of education. But for more than two thousand years, this ideal has never been realized, both in ancient and modern times, at home and abroad. As long as there are classes in society and the gap between the rich and the poor, education is always impossible to be fair. This is a reality that is both ruthless and helpless. The film has shown us well the problems in the American education system. Based on the differences in the national conditions of the two countries, it may be a bit unrealistic to say how much practical enlightenment this film can bring us, but at least on the spiritual level. There is still some positive meaning.

Sometimes movies based on real people and real events have a special appeal, perhaps without a bit of dramatic drama, but with more down-to-earth perseverance. Therefore, leaving aside the part of education and the slightly exaggerated preaching element, we can completely use it as an inspirational film, how to smash the tree, how to defeat the strong with the weak, how to fight against the unfair and unreasonable system, and how to To change our destiny with our own power, these are the beliefs that the film really wants to convey to us.

I really like Maggie Gyllenhaal's performance in this film. Her appearance and performance in "The Dark Knight" have always made me think about it. However, through this film, I saw a different Maggie, who successfully deduced the cheerful, optimistic, and reluctant energy of the character. It can be seen that for some actors, the choice of roles is still very important, and for the audience, it must not be generalized. The failure of individual roles is difficult to explain the problem.
