This is a romantic light comedy about a leftover female Chinese teacher in a small town high school in the United States. It is

also a literary and artistic song by a playwright hidden under the appearance of being full of fun. ╭(╯3╰)╮.

After watching this movie last night, after laughing and thinking, I always feel that there is something I want to express.

The deepest impression is: the deviant love between the old leftover female Chinese teacher who is famous for the image of the saint and the former proud student.

Frankly speaking, this kind of teacher-student relationship is considered immoral even in the United States, which is known for its openness to sexuality. However, this foreshadowing section that detonated the whole film is full of fun, so that the viewer does not feel any discomfort. Linda, a prudent, dignified and exemplary female teacher in the past, did not hesitate to pay for her artistic pursuits, and bravely sought the opportunity to rehearse the outstanding drama works of her favorite protégé Jason at the school. At the same time, in order to restore the self-confidence of this beloved student, he did not hesitate to start a confrontation with the student's domineering father. Linda defends Jason everywhere, so that the young Jason who lost his mother also has an inexplicable love for the teacher. Finally, backstage during a rehearsal, the two teachers and students, who were overwhelmed by passion, finally crossed the line. ╭(╯3╰)╮Fortunately

, these two are still relatively rational, knowing that it was just a momentary out of control of passion, it does not mean that there is anything, and it does not mean that something can happen. It's just, uh (scratching his head), we can imagine: After the old leftover girl's dry heart is finally opened, she can still control it? That's absolutely impossible! (╯▽╰)

Sure enough, when Teacher Linda found Jason When she fell in love with the troupe's leading girl, the little beauty, jealousy o(>﹏<)o. Chong Xiaomei carried out a long lecture. This passage is quite ironic. In fact, every sentence Linda preaches is directed at her (╯▽╰), which makes people laugh.

Although this film is a commercial comedy, the plot is compact and exquisite, very professional, and full of calm sense of humor. Generally speaking, Hollywood commercial comedies don't like to take on any grand or serious themes. "The Truman World" is really an outlier. Most of the others are light-hearted popcorn movies that don't pursue any connotation. But this light-hearted comedy film hints at the screenwriter's enthusiasm and uncompromising on literature and screenwriting art, and also makes a self-deprecation of the realistic environment faced by the playwright's profession.

The leftover female teacher was unable to extricate herself from indulging in the world of literature since she was a child, so she delayed her life-long affairs. In the past, the talented protégé was frustrated with his screenwriting career in the big city and had to go home and rely on his father. Finally, my excellent work impresses the school teachers and strives for the opportunity to perform. The teachers face the shrewd and stupid school directors, but they have to compromise with flattery against their will-modify the end of the script-thus burying the whole scene. The clue to the final outbreak of the play.

These details all reflect the irony of the screenwriters of their own real environment. The pursuit of art is always full of setbacks, compromises and betrayals of all kinds.
The line: "If this drama can't be staged according to his original appearance, then I'd rather not have such a chance!" (to the effect) - This line, isn't it the deepest words of every writer and screenwriter? ! Among them, the graceful middle-aged male drama rehearsal teacher showed the compromise and betrayal in the pursuit of art to the fullest. The "play within the play" surrounding the rehearsal process of this play is brilliant, the two lines go hand in hand, exquisite and meticulous, full of charm, so that this sketch film has a very rigorous structure before the end, allowing the screenwriter to play a role in the film. The self-deprecation and sarcasm gained their own dignity.

But the movie went around a lot, and finally returned to Linda and Jason's father started hooking up again. This, this, that, uh, is it possible to have this for the comic effect of the movie (╯﹏╰)b? (Waterfall Khan...) The screenwriters of this film, what are your integrity? I guess the writers were crying again- (that must be what the producers meant! ~~o(>_<)o~~)

So, nothing. This is my evaluation of this film -
a playwright's literary and artistic song under the appearance of funny comedy╭(╯3╰)╮

    Narrator: Linda Sinclair had reached her 45th year, an unwed high school English teacher, with no prospect of marriage. Hers appeared to be a rather ordinary life, one of discipline, frugality, small indignities. Modest hopes, and disappointments.
