I didn't expect to see the movie that I wanted to watch ten years ago. Watching this movie on an overly sultry and slightly murky afternoon, with the slightly shaking camera, resonates with sadness and depression for an hour and a half.
The film tells the story of an encounter. White History Dan always taught at a rundown public high school with mostly black students. Passionate and creative, he loves his students, imparts knowledge in an eclectic manner, and brings history to life. But at night he became a bar addict, decadent and wild. Once drugged in the bathroom and collapsed, they were discovered and taken care of by Dyan, a black female student, and then the two gradually paid attention to each other and changed each other's lives.
"Half Nelson" is a term used to subdue the opponent by holding the opponent's arm from behind and pressing it hard. In this film, the people from the background of the two people are restrained by life and are stuck. As an idealist, Dan has encountered obstacles everywhere in reality. No one appreciates his inner ideals and impulses. He can only express it to a group of middle school students in class. When his dreams are broken, he can only indulge in alcohol, drugs and women. Back in the mud; Dyan lives in a poor single-parent environment, her brother is in prison, her father is far away, and she has grown into a calm and indifferent far beyond her peers.
Their encounter was an added sustenance to a life of careless hopelessness. He entrusted a responsive and leisurely care, in the name of teacher's responsibility, in the name of keeping secrets; she entrusted a positive father and brother's expectation, in the reason of sending him home, in the scheming of mirror makeup.
The cinematography of the film is shaky, and the soundtrack is confused. Commander Gao squinted slightly, walked staggeringly, with a childish expression on his face, and finally stitched together a Dan with a decadent aesthetic. He was as soft as a layer of cake. Seeing the harmony of his family, he was lonely in his heart, and a tear from driving into the wind ran down his cheek. But there are so many times in life when you can cry.
She was as hard as a rock, and she was stubbornly pursing her lips. Only the lollipop she often ate revealed a hint of innocence. At the end of the movie, she went to deliver drugs and met the buyer, the idol collapsed, and she was the one who fell into the trap. She shed a tear at home, and it was the most painful to wake up from a broken dream.
But she is strong, she handed him a lollipop and told him: life is still sweet, he still has a chance.
