I have read a novel, and I strongly want to watch an adapted movie. Besides, there is also a starring Gregory Parker. Yes, that's the one in the famous "Roman Holiday"?. There are a lot less dialogues between fathers and children in the movie than in the novel. Those are the parts that touch me very much.
How are the children educated, so sensible. . . In fact, many children in Western movies seem to be very sensible. Of course, the artistic processing and beautification part are not excluded, but they are generally much more sensible than the domestic bear children. What I'm talking about is not that the children just do what the adults say. It is never possible. People who are parents will understand? It is between parents and children in the West, and it is more like an adult-to-adult relationship. Equal relations, unlike many domestic parents who treat their children in a commanding manner. Conversely, when children feel respect, they will show respect to their parents. In fact, it's not just adults to children, but also adults to adults. We can put ourselves in consideration for others, care about the feelings of others, give for others, others will feel it, and also love us so much? Of course this is an ideal state, and it is difficult to educate children~???
However, just look at the dad in the movie. That is the model of family education. Dad’s explanation is really worth learning about things that many children cannot understand. No preaching at all, and no lies to fool children with truth, goodness and beauty, but let the children teach them how to look at the world within the level of their understanding. This touched me a lot. It is not right to let children see the beautiful or bright side blindly. Sooner or later they will find that the world is not as perfect as they thought. Maybe it will be more unacceptable and cruel when they find out by themselves in the future? Thinking back to myself, it seems like that. When I feel that the world is beautiful, I see beautiful things. In fact, there are choices, or subconsciously not looking at the cruel and imperfect parts, it doesn't mean that they don't exist. When you are forced to discover the truth, how much will you be touched. . . It is better to accept the cruel reality early, and learn to face it bravely, and get along with it calmly. I think this is the best way to get along with the world.
At that time, the prejudice against black people was deeply ingrained. Although Dad used his own power, he still could not shake the secular prejudice of the entire society. The unsatisfactory outcome of the trial also left a deep mark on the children. They should remember it all their lives. This will definitely affect their more objective understanding of the world.
It is said that in a certain vote, the most influential image was judged. In the movie, Atticus, the father, beat 007 and Indiana Jones. The influence of the novel is already great, and the success of the film is enough to influence more people. I sincerely hope that everyone who is a parent can watch this movie. I recommend the original novel, which has more details. It will definitely benefit a lot.
ps It’s Lixia today. It rained a bit and the air was good. But I will be away for a few days next week. I will miss it. That brilliant sun, that warmth.
