I watched this movie three times in total. I first knew about this movie because the film class teacher who studied in the United States used fragments of this movie to let us perform it. After I went back, I searched for this movie myself and found it was a 1985 American high school genre movie.
The film tells about 5 typical children in American high schools. Criminal, nerd, princess, sporto, freak.
"In one day, in the reading room of a library, five typical characters, nerds, princesses, athletes, little ruffians, and weirdos, and five male and female students with rebellious personality, were fined to stay in school during the holidays to study their homework. Family backgrounds and personalities are different, but after they talked sincerely, the five people with different identities went from being indifferent to being hostile to each other, until they gradually opened their hearts and gradually let go of each other’s wariness and hostility." American schools will classify people. Stereotyped. But in fact, everyone is a different individual. The family environment is an indispensable factor in shaping a child's character, more specifically, the expectation of the family. What impressed me was a fragment of a few people sitting on the ground, asking their own questions one by one. Sporto said that he bullied a child, not for himself, but for his dad, because his dad thinks that if he doesn't do something wild, he is not a successful person, and then he can never lose. There is no need for a loser at home. For us living in China, the classification of the people in the school is probably the tyrants, ordinary people, and scumbags. Because this comes from the expectations of teachers and parents, some of us work hard to meet such expectations. Speaking of this, I also think of my middle and high school life. My stereotype is probably not talkative, shy, obedient, good girl. But in fact, I just don't like to talk. Because of this impression, my personality has to be shaped a lot. Behavior may be fearful of doing things. If you have an idea, if you don't say it, others will be regarded as having no idea. In short, you are a very inexistent person. But it's not a freak, it's a very ordinary student, and it feels like the aura of the body has been worn away. I have to say that human behavior is still framed in the vision of others.
For this movie, I want to say a lot, but I don't want to say much.
