Lisa is not the transfer student. She is a very popular girl in this school. She is loved by teachers and classmates, and has a talent for singing. She can even be said to be a vested interest in the choir's secret: she enjoys the chorus. The various benefits brought by the first group did not sacrifice the opportunity to sing for the benefit of the group. In the first half of the film, I always thought that this girl knew the truth for a long time, and she would even be the teacher's "collaborator", who was about to persuade Sophie to continue to hide this secret with an adult tact and sophistication. Unexpectedly, she is the braver girl who cares more about justice.
This secret was not revealed by Sophie, an outsider, for her own benefit; it was revealed by Lisa, an inherent member, in order to give everyone in the choir a chance to sing.
We often hope that an unjust but very beneficial inherent pattern will be broken by a reckless outsider who does not understand interests and tacit understanding, with his passion and pursuit of justice. This kind of thinking is naturally subject to the fixed routines of some literary and artistic works. However, does this also mean that we have never thought to solve the problem from within this inherent mode, or that we subconsciously think it, and decide to stay there. People in this model will only choose to obey this model for the sake of group interests and in order not to be isolated?
Isn't this scarier than "children always care more about right and wrong than adults"? Because behind this kind of thinking, hidden is the awareness that "environmental participants cannot actively generate ideas and behaviors to change their environment".
Have we ever felt unjust? There are many, many people should have encountered a plot similar to this movie. Yet why, when we are in this situation, seldom think about breaking it? But secretly expect that there will be a new person to change everything.
As the old saying goes, "eating people's mouths are soft, but people's hands are short." Therefore, when people are placed in such an environment and become one of the beneficiaries of this group's interests, they can't help but feel that they are not qualified to resist. Because I got the benefits of this unfair model, I can only hope that outsiders who have not yet benefited will fight against this injustice.
And why doesn't Lisa have such a guilty conscience? Because her own strength is worthy of the benefits she once got as a member of the choir, she knows that she is welcomed and praised by others with her singing voice, not this kind of interest model, so she has this confidence, because She doesn't "owe" the choir anything. Everything she got was obtained by relying on her own strength.
Therefore, even courage requires strength as the basis. A truly powerful person, even in this unfair mode, still has the confidence to resist, and still has the confidence to say, "I can live well without this lie." However, those who do not have the confidence brought by this kind of strength can only wait silently for someone else to help them overcome the guilty conscience of obtaining improper benefits and maintain fairness.
