After watching this movie, I realized that I had been dead for a long time, starting from an early morning when I was accidentally broken. In a sense, this movie tells a story that is too pure. I said too much because it has not been commercialized very aggressively, so it has also become a box office poison. A group of young boys, a teacher with a unique understanding of life, and a rigid and strict prestigious middle school in which they live. The film mainly talks about a group of students learning how to choose their own lives under the guidance of Teacher Kidding, resisting the repressive and restrained teaching system, but it also ends with a student's suicide and Teacher Kidding's resignation. The plot arrangement is smooth and flowing, without any fancy, but when it comes to the gloomy ending in the first half of the comic style, it makes people feel a little gloomy, but it is this feeling of being frustrated by reality and the depression in the last scene. The climax in the movie sublimated the meaning of the film. When looking back and savoring it, the rich content of the film may even make people confused. Who is the protagonist of the film, Mr. Kidding? student? Or is it a system that imprisons people's hearts like an iron house, or the real world? In Kidding’s world, what we see is the story of how an educator became an exile under the system and dogma. If there are two completely different worlds in this film, one is the real world that symbolizes bondage and depression, and the other is the world that embodies the dream of freedom and passion, then Kidding is the connection between these two worlds. point. He is a teacher in the real world, a person with many auras in the real world, but he is the helmsman (captain?) who guides students to discover and cherish their inner dreams, and helps students face themselves and their friends in life. He taught them to see the world in a different way, to be a different self, to challenge those dogmas that are golden rules in the eyes of others, and to take the path that they truly want to go. Whether it is for students to tear away the authoritative evaluation of poetry and read with their own hearts, or to let them see how they change their own pace with the steps of others, Kidding uses his personality charm to infect this group of imprisoned people. The young people who have been suppressed for too long in here have restored their courage to fly and their passion for flying. However, Kidding’s own ending was driven away by the school in the name of “poisoning” students’ thoughts. It seemed to echo the tragic fate of those challengers and betrayers in the distant and close time and space. The fire thief gives people light, but he can always only bear the notoriety of the thief and walk away silently. In Neal's world, what is shown is how a person walks out of the shadow of other people's lives, sees the brilliance of the sun shining on him, and does what he wants to take. Neal was ignited to find the meaning of life in teacher Kidding’s class, reorganized the Death Poetry Club, participated in the performance of his dream drama without his parents, and his flying life was in "A Midsummer Night’s Dream". His body shines brightly. However, when the curtain fell, he had to return to reality, facing his father's stern and cold eyes. Between his parents and his dreams, Neil had nowhere to escape. Finally, in a snowy night, he put on the elf's crown of thorns for the last time, stepping on the cold water night, and ended his short life with freedom. And the gesture of living life gave out his last speechless resentment. In him, you can see the romance and excitement of a dream-seeker, as well as the helplessness and groaning of the bound person who is burdened with the pressure of real life. And there is another character in the film that cannot be ignored, and that is Todd. I am timid, cowardly, study hard, keep quiet, and when I look at him, I always feel that there are some parts in my body that resonate with him. Under his incompetent and ordinary appearance, there is still passion hidden, but his passion always flows silently, until the end of the film there is an unrestrained explosion. When Mr. Kidding left, he was helpless and even acted as the accuser. The moment Kidding left the classroom, he stood on the desk and shouted: "Captain, my captain!" This was taught by Kidding. Way, a way to see the world from another perspective. Now, this method has become a weapon to openly laugh at the sad fetters of the real world. Although it is not very lethal to this world that has been numb for too long, the director still shows us that under the leadership of Todd, the classmates almost They all stood up one after another. The scene was a bit sensational and not very real, but it did give each of us hope to move on. Kidding is gone, but no one will doubt that the brand of youthful publicity will forever remain in the hearts of these people who have just embarked on their own path in life. The whole movie is full of tension, poetry and passion. There are two scene images that make me unforgettable. Once it was an empty shot showing the black and overwhelming birds flying in the autumn field. I have never seen so many The birds flew up in an instant, and their sky was like a force struggling to rise, eager to fly at any cost and reckless The world heard their own voice. There are also those few figures who yearn for freedom walking through the mist in the dark night, lonely souls, warming up to poetry, trembling in the passion of poetry. I couldn't see how they looked, but I just felt that, inadvertently, my heart followed them to a certain cave, where I vented all my resentment, and looked for the power of life in my excited eyes. A movie about poetry, of course, is a poem-like warning that everyone admires, such as "Only in a dream can one be truly free. It has always been, and will always be." "Two roads are divided in the forest. Fork, I choose the one with fewer people." "If we can't change the world, then we should at least change our lives and live freely." said Milan Kundera in the distant days. And here, written on Todd’s tender cheeks, engraved on Neil’s Bauhinia crown, and in Kidding’s melancholy smile is this verse: I step into the jungle, because I want life to be meaningful. I hope to live deeply to absorb all the essence of life and defeat everything that is not life, lest when my life ends, I find that I have never lived. The same inspiring words. The film’s name is Dead Poetry Club, which may have borrowed the meaning of being born to death. Only by letting the part of the thought and the part of the soul that do not belong to oneself die can one truly grasp the part of life belonging to the soul. Start a real life, a sober life, and a meaningful life! But giving up and death are accompanied by pain, so there is Neil, who is going to the end of life under the moonlight, and Kidding, who is forced to leave school, but behind the pain is the birth of a new life, so the film allows us to see Todd, seeing the Todds in the classroom, this is the continuation and the future!
