ACCEPTED by the world

“…The society has its rules. The first rule is you go to the college. If you want to have happy and successful life, you go to the college. If you want to be sombody, you go to the college. If you want to fit in, you go to the college." said Bartleby's dad in Accepted.
"When he was studying, he was the dumbest of the three brothers, so he went to Wuyi. When he grew up, he achieved nothing..." Relatives commented on her child.
Therefore, in China, we spent a year preparing for the college entrance examination; in the United States, they should do straight A from the first day of junior high, start playing baseball, tennis, and basketball as good as a ghost, and start doing many, many community services. If you want to get into 211 or Ivy.
What about Bartleby? Although he is very smart, saying that he has sweat sensitivity and has not taken gym class for a year, and that he has nocturnal syndrome and can dream while attending class, he cannot reflect his wisdom on the file. Ordinary students, even the nickname is B, not A.
So 8 universities responded to him with sincerity——I'm soory that you're REJECTED.
Then he and his friends did some tricks, occupying an abandoned psychiatric hospital, defrauding his parents of 10,000 yuan in tuition, and getting a SHIT (South Harmon Institute of Technology). This non-existent school on the road pretends to be the sister school of the old school Harmon, and is located next to it. So the other side plays with its traditions and makes them pass the mid-term test by listening to a section of the shit. The students here are teachers, self-taught, you learn your put on take off, you practice your control Pineapple, you do what you do and do nothing... University is a service institution, its existence is to discover your potential, help you realize your dreams, and inspire your inspiration and creativity. Instead of thinking like the principal of Harmon that becoming a prestigious school like Yale is to tear down the houses near the campus and get a very luxurious school gate.
The ending of the story is very positive, SHIT becomes a legally recognized college, the one who learns to put on take off gets a series of school uniforms, the one who learns to control a pineapple learns to control a car and blow it up...
Then, forget it.
That is just an American Dream. If you want to be accepted by the world, you have to do less things that are rejected by the world.

    A typical Hollywood comedy with a strong anti-intellectual plot
