Fangyue To Kelun asked students to dictate the four lines of Fuerkhlezhiqi's poem, and actually pointed out The main idea of ​​the protagonist
Van Damien: Today, the film is still written by Jan Sverak's father, Denek Sverak, and also plays the leading actor, 65-year-old Toquelen. The film is still comedy, bright, witty, humorous, and romantic. The protagonist Toke Lun seems to be the later years of the male teacher Igor in "The Green School Tree". For example, they have a common teaching profession, and more in common, they are a little "fussy". However, the "flowery heart" of old Toquelun was basically in a dream. The film also wrote about his relationship with the female teacher of his school. They talked about the earthquake in Japan, and about missing each other at night. She also prepared him a sedative drug with no side effects - this shows that they are really good, But apparently it was mainly the female teacher who took the initiative to attack him (as evidenced by the dating letter she handed him later). Here, what I want to say is that at the beginning of the film, he recounted the poem of the Czech modern and modern writer Vulkhrezich in the literature class. Ingenious. Tokelun told his classmates that the books written by Vulkhrezhich were 1.5 meters high—it is said that there were 260 books—he said, we only learned four lines of poetry in the middle, and he was the Written in old age, when he learned what is most important in life. He asked his classmates to dictate the four lines of poems: "For a little love, I would rather travel to the ends of the earth, with an unscrupulous mind, and it doesn't matter if I go barefoot..." Helpless, those hairy children in the classroom did not understand the teacher's lecture. The intention, especially the son of the sponsor of the rich second generation named Wagner, interrupted his lectures more than once, interrupted his lectures, deliberately interrupted, to show his "smartness" - this student is indeed the smartest , his interjections were directly aimed at the verses read by the teacher, indicating that he listened very seriously. In fact, these four lines of poems also point out the basic thoughts of our protagonist, his life-long attitude, and his belief in life and love. From here, we can explain everything he does in the film. In addition, the Czech writer - Jaroslav Vrchlicky (J. Vrchlicky, 1853-1912), we should remember that his real name is Frida, a Czech poet, playwright and translator. He once translated the Chinese "Book of Songs" together with others. Mr. Lu Xun translated and introduced him. The Chinese writing of the translated name of "Wulkhlezhiqi" may come from Lu Xun.

At the end of the film, the old couple experienced a scene of life and death, so they will cherish the future even more
Ma Huijie: The elderly protagonist of the film has a passion for life. He feels that there are many people around him who have nothing to do and have no ideas about life, and he is not willing to live like this. I don't think the film is for the elderly to fall in love again. Now our life is getting better, but European and American countries and our eastern nations have different ways of expressing passion for life. Judging from the performance of the film, we can still accept it after watching it. There is often a little friction and humor between the old couple. For example, when he was a courier, he finally broke his leg bone, which was fulfilling her wife's previous warning. I think that at the end of the film, the old couple experienced a scene of life and death, so they will cherish more for the future.

The film is very warm and the protagonist is optimistic and open-minded, which is the biggest highlight of his character
Wang Xiling: This film is very warm. As far as the protagonist of the film is concerned, this old man doesn't have much characteristics, and I don't really like this type of person. All he wants is to make his life happy. His family is basically stable, there may be some minor incidents, but it's fine. He is a man who will find joy in life. I can understand this. In fact, in life, especially when you are old, you can do whatever you feel happy. This should not be denied. People always get what they need, and at this point, don't think about your age. The protagonist is optimistic and open-minded, which is the biggest highlight of his character.

The male protagonist is very
energetic. How to handle the relationship between their husband and wife should be in line with normal human nature . What you can bear is also something you like, and of course it is also something that is good for society. The protagonist is such a person. He went out of school to find a very practical job, because he did not want to live a boring life. And it is in this kind of work that he can see something wonderful and enrich himself with it. I know that in Japan, people in their 70s are still working. For them, this is not actually a burden, but happiness and happiness, so that life can still be valuable at this time. The male protagonist of the film is very vital, and how to deal with the relationship between their husband and wife should be in line with normal human nature. In short, these questions have inspired us after watching the film. Old husbands and wives may also have problems if they get along plainly for a long time.

People's old age and physical weakness are not scary, what is scary is that they don't accept new things in their minds
Zhu Ming: The film talks about the routine life of ordinary people, and about the work, family and life of people of this age. The filming is simple and delicate. Twice the film shows him meeting the elderly around him in a street garden, which is a contrast. People's old age and physical weakening are not scary, what is scary is that they do not accept new things in their minds. People need to develop with the times, and they need to renew their thinking and behaviors.

The film is very realistic, very detailed, and the angle is very unique. The male protagonist has his own unique character and loves
Luo Fei: this film is very realistic and delicate, and its angle is very unique compared to Chinese films. The male protagonist has his own unique character and hobbies. For example, the film shows some of his inner needs and desires through his dreams. In fact, each of us will have this kind of mental activity under certain circumstances.

The film makes people feel happy and deeply infected
Cai Ling: The son and father, surnamed Sverak, served as the director, screenwriter and performer of the film. After watching "Green School Tree" and today's film, I feel very good. Whether it is about children or about the elderly, the film makes people feel happy and deeply infectious. The male protagonist has a doctor who is his ex-son-in-law. The relationship between the two is also very unique.

For embrace life and embrace the faith life of love, Tuoke Lun in human relations is also good at playing the role of matchmaker
Fan Daming: After listening to the former Tuoke Lun son tells his own reason why another new love, not only not to be denounced, also Expressing appreciation, this attitude is usually difficult for people to do. Of course, this does not mean that he does not love his daughter. On the contrary, at the same time, he also assists Robert, the vice-principal of his school, to pursue his daughter, whose marriage is in crisis, to bridge the relationship between the two, because he finds that it is precisely the Robert fell in love with his daughter, who was abandoned by his ex-son-in-law. It's the same situation where he's matching retired officer Rizak with the chubby Mrs. Kerr - here the film shows that Toquelun is also a good matchmaker in relationships. Including the part-time young man beside him who wants to pursue a beautiful girl, he always provides opportunities and encourages him. It can also be said that it is all out of his same thoughts, that is, his life beliefs of embracing life and embracing love. The purpose is to Let people get more love in life, including himself. To live is to live happily. This should be said to be a very positive, healthy and upward outlook on life.

The film reminds us of the attitude towards the life of the elderly: the elderly should have their own happiness
Yang Li: The film shows the life of the elderly. The hero pursues happiness, and if he has any ideas, he will do it himself and realize it, without putting any rules and regulations on himself. He realizes his pursuit, not to make money, but to find happiness, make friends, laugh with his female customers, pay attention to their details, etc. These are actually the manifestations of men's human nature. In terms of human nature and physiology, These are natural. Foreigners are more liberal than us in this regard. The film reminds us of attitudes towards our own elderly life. The elderly should have their own happiness, and for those things that cannot be avoided, we need to adjust our mentality and accept them with a happy mood.

If we have Toquelun's values ​​and optimism to face life and reality, happiness will be everywhere.
Chen Hua ( written talk after the meeting): After watching this film, I have been reminiscing about it and have a lot of feelings. Although the story takes place in the Czech Republic, it is very close to people of our age, and living a happy old age is a topic we cannot do without. Finding happiness is one of our goals in life. The old teacher Tok Lun left school because he was unhappy. He gave up his decent job as a teacher to become a courier that ordinary people couldn't understand, and even became a bottle collector in a supermarket. However, it was through this job that he, This bottle-collecting window allowed him to learn more about Prague. He met different people at this window, enthusiastically did some things within and beyond his power for them, and infected those around him with his optimism and humor. At the same time, I have also obtained more and greater happiness in this position! He also made many people find happiness and happiness because of his optimism and helpfulness, such as Mr. Colonel, such as his former teacher colleagues... At the same time, he also slowly changed the rigid and stubborn wife, so that their love lives in More moisturizing in old age. Due to the difference in values ​​between the East and the West, the concept of choosing happiness is also different. In China, more and more people will choose to do something elegant and to find happiness in line with their own identity. This, there is no right or wrong, happiness is! In real life, we will be more or less unhappy and even unhappy. If we have Toquelun's values ​​and optimism to face life and reality, happiness will be everywhere!
