. When I was 15 years old, what was freedom. At that time, I wanted to escape from the present. I have to find a good reason to go back to the small city again and again. Freedom is just that I can not go home on the weekends, I can go out of school after school for three or two hours, I don’t need to participate in evening self-study, I can watch anything in the self-study class. The novel I want to read. But now my freedom is to be able to eat, sleep and play as I want. But I don’t know where I want to put my work. For a certain ideal, I recently started to pick up my textbooks again, and I am tired when I go home. Sit at the table and study. I was afraid to see myself immersed in studying. The light under the curtains was dimly yellow at dusk, and the room was silent.
Thinking of the scenes in the film, it was so beautiful. The branches criss-crossing barely under the sunset in the winter. And there. The snowfield where Todd was crying and crying when he learned of Neil's death. And the students who stood on the desk to pay tribute to the captain in the last class. However, Keating just laughed and then turned and left.
Everyone had some todds living in their bodies . , Some neil, some Cameron. Low self-esteem, do not want to blindly obey but can't bear to fight, hope that others will break the tradition but compromise with reality at the first time. For example, Neil. He knows what he wants and dares to do it without his parents knowing. Fight for yourself, but once you stand in front of your parents, you can’t bear to resist. The
first picture. In
class, keating asked students to tear off the foreword. Poetry is casual and spontaneous. Keating told his students: "I I have a secret to tell you. We read poems and write poems not because they are fun. We read poetry and write poetry because we are part of human beings, and human beings are full of passion. "
Come on, my friend, it's not too late to find a newer world." I am determined to drive past the end of the sunset, although we no longer have the power of the past and can shake the earth, we still have the same heroic hearts. "
Because of keating, they began to look at the world in a different light. Neil found the death poetry club he had joined when he was a student of keating, and took the lead in organizing a party. He ran out of the dormitory in the dark and recited in candlelight.
The second screen.
Neil participated in the casting of the drama without telling his parents and became the protagonist. And participated in the performance of Midsummer Night’s Dream without telling his parents. After the perfect curtain call, he unexpectedly saw his expressionless father in the audience and was then taken home. Neil's parents didn't give him any chance to resist. In their eyes, the performance is basically grandstanding. Their neil wants to go to Harvard and become a doctor.
Before his parents left, Neil murmured, I acted very well, I really acted very well.
Then, in the snowy night, Neil took off the wreath from his head and committed suicide in the dark night.
The school began a thorough investigation of Neil's death. Cameron said to his classmates, "We are all victims. It was keating that instilled us like this, right? If it weren't for him, Neil would still stay in the house and study chemistry comfortably, dreaming of becoming a doctor." Sometimes. I think so too. At their age, they don’t have the ability to judge and think on their own. The way of education they get is always to learn more knowledge in order to talk to the world. Did the preaching of keating come too early?
I burst into tears in the last scene where the students stood on the desk to pay tribute to their captain. But there is still nothing to say. There are many roads that we cannot take, and there are many ideals that we can only watch others carelessly complete. Back to their age, I walked along the path others had walked sluggishly. There was a neil shouting in my body, but more of it was inferiority. Silence in the teacher like an ugly duckling. His grades declined with age, and he eventually became a poor child in his father's eyes.
I always wonder what I would be like if I encountered keating at that time. It will be neil or todd. Or the self who always wanted to be. But what kind of person do I want to be?
The desired future will never be reached.
