No matter how you look at the protagonist, he is an excellent student wearing a "protagonist halo", a student with extraordinary talent, fast learning ability, good on-the-spot resilience, etc. Such a person is really not suitable for the protagonist of an inspirational film.
First of all, the principal was at fault, but that is definitely not what he said was a fault in competition. Darwin mentioned the theory of biological evolution two hundred years ago. The principle of survival of the fittest is immutable. The university is a place to guide students into society. It should be reasonable and natural for the principal to teach students how to survive in the future. , But the protagonist blindly denied it. With such a plot, it was finally recognized by everyone. Why? After all, it is a relationship of superior ability.
Confronting the teacher, questioning the principal, sabotaging activities, challenging the system, etc., it doesn't matter, because the protagonist has this ability, or he always gets the first place, and finally becomes an excellent scientist.
Or look at it from another angle. If the protagonist fails to get the first place in the exam, he can only become a village teacher in the end. What is the mood of the people watching the movie? Maybe you can’t help but sigh for the protagonist, and even think: he didn’t do that in the first place~~~~ But in fact, this is the reality. While challenging the authority of the system, he can take the first place casually, and finally win I am afraid that the successful people really don’t have it
and think about not competing with others and living out of themselves~~~~ This kind of idea can only be said to be too naive. If there is no competition or progress, they will be eliminated by society. Isn’t it the best example to be bullied by foreign powers for many years? Honestly doing your own dream of heaven, and then being eliminated by the world in the backwardness~~~~~~~~~~~~ Is this lesson still true? Isn't it deep enough?
So it feels like this movie says a truth: unless you are a capable person like the protagonist, otherwise such a way of life won’t work.
