4 stars + 1 star selfish hippie and viggo, and some of the views of this film.
In fact, approval and disapproval, or whether you like this film or not, depends on personal experience. I liked it, probably precisely because I couldn't and didn't dare to be a family member of the protagonist in this film.
Ben and Leslie lived according to their ideals and built a country independent of modern society. They undoubtedly have a wealth of knowledge (even quantum mechanics, medical field survival politics) that can indeed secure their children's education, even enough to support them in top universities. I also envy their way of communication. There is no so-called well-intentioned concealment, and no topic is taboo. And Ben is also trying to make communication two-way. He asks the children to share their ideas, and if they are different, they can argue. He forces the child to think, instead of indulging the inertia of thinking with useless words.
But at the same time, people are social animals, their small society is separated from real life to a certain extent, and the formation of all independent ideas is restricted by this small society. Even if they can communicate with the outside world through books, apart from ideology, humanities and social sciences, ordinary and daily communication between people is lacking, which makes it difficult for them to have knowledge but be recognized by society in life. . Moreover, as parents and teachers, they are still "oppressors" to a certain extent, and the children still obey their rules and continue their thoughts even if they are independent and subtly subtly. Children have the ability to think, but lack true independent practice and the right to choose.
Leslie helped her son apply for college before she died, and her struggles show she's trying to correct that mistake, and by the end of the film it's changing.
I have an irresistible yearning for some of the ideas in this ideal country, but at the same time I am bound by the habits of modern society. For me, this ending is a compromise, but it is not necessarily the best answer that I could have made, and it is also the best answer that the director can give. Because trying to find an answer and a balance between these two kinds of life is very difficult, extreme utopian life and modern society have their own advantages and problems, each person's emphasis is different, which leads to the solution to the ending There are different levels of evaluation. It is too difficult to come up with a standard answer that everyone is satisfied with.
