"Pitch Perfect 2".
I wanted to stay up late to write a film review to express my excitement after watching 2015 last night, but I wrote more than a thousand words and found that the meaning is still unfinished, and the source of the information is too subjective (domestic data) , So delete all and write today.
I originally wanted to write about feminism, because it happened to be a film with a female perspective (it was a real coincidence); I wanted to write about the psychology of my girlfriends; I wanted to express the excitement of art that I hadn't touched before. But now I just want to write about the American Dream and China.

Because I didn't see the first part, although I guessed that there was a chorus part at the beginning, I still didn't understand the meaning of "a cappella", so I went online and downloaded a Chinese subtitle called "a cappella". The first time I came into contact with the ignorant and ignorant, I was very shocked. Especially seeing the battle part of the underground party, a natural sense of coordination and unspeakable beauty emerge spontaneously, unable to control it. Due to the impact of new things, I thought it was a higher competition than the streets battle-not lacking in strength, agility, and more elegant. Just like the solo of electric guitar and piano, there is a kind of strange beauty.
As a film from a female perspective, and a group composed of women, it naturally shows the characteristics of women's social gathering. I personally think that this part is remarkable. For example, in the summer camp, fat Amy couldn't sleep and had to defecate, and felt a little constipated. At the beginning, a friend sang a song. She said, "Unblocked like frozen yogurt," and I wiped it. so sweet!
But watching the 110-minute movie, what I feel most is the practical significance of the American dream. The two protagonists are not very beautiful, because this is not a Hollywood money laundering film. Secondly, the team has all kinds of members who look strange in China, which is called "exclusiveness" in China. What I saw in Barden Bellas was a multi-ethnic group, a talented group, and an inclusive group of ordinary people. In terms of talent, is this an ordinary group? Obviously not. But from the perspective of God, is this an ordinary group? Obviously it is. As a reference, the German team Das Sound Machine is simply a talent group in the talent group, but it has an obvious flaw-godness. It means omnipotence, but lacks empathy. In the finals, there is no doubt that DSM is even better, and Bellas has gathered all the bellas from all generations to appear on the stage, using the audience's recognition and sympathy to obtain the game. In addition to the movie logic, this is also often in reality. occurring. This shows a problem. Germany, as a super-strong nation, has superior strength and even lost the game when crushing the American team with a face-to-face. As a materialist Germany, its psychology is well known. It's like World War I and World War II at that time. Americans have been passing on an idea to the world, which is very worthy of our study: We are not the strongest, we are not God, but we can be the strongest, and we can overcome God. (God is a scientific meaning here and has nothing to do with religion)

The normal psychology of Bellas as women is directly and clearly expressed throughout the film: they will be nervous, afraid, quarrel, and even bluntly have low EQ. But they are positive and upward, and speaking out is a kind of cursive spirit. In contrast, in addition to a brain-disabled perspective, Chinese films have always been compared with their own people and lack internationality, but also show mentally handicapped behaviors such as "I can't beat you, I will kill you." And this kind of mentally handicapped behavior has also been recognized by the Chinese market, and has hit a huge box office. From an objective point of view, this is a success. But there is a point of view: It does not mean that the existing objective success is success. Temporary existence does not represent the present, and will always only represent the past. So there is no doubt about it. Because humans think that the time dimension is divided, we use history to evaluate objectiveness.
It is impossible to extend the above thinking to the situation in China. Because the gap in education and quality is too obvious, it is as large as the distance between the sun and the earth. But we have to do it again, as if we can't get out of the galaxy, but we have to try. This is the 21st century. "no man is an island."
Sooner or later , we are going to get in touch with the world. Maybe we used the number advantage to gain a local advantage in the beginning, but the consequences are worrying. To put it straightforwardly, our college students are not only ignorant, literate, and literate, and even gradually becoming low-powered, and this will continue to worsen as studying abroad becomes short-lived.
Because of the backwardness of education, students who are strong schools are still inferior to others (also affected by the environment), and other students are even worse. Not to mention that they are uneducated. Apart from using mobile apps, they really have nothing to do. Do not know computer operations, do not understand common sense of safety, do not know ancient and modern Chinese and foreign, do not know mathematical science, do not know one's own physiology. Horrible, damn scary. What's more terrifying is that they don't know it.
In the past, parents worked hard to let their children go abroad, and tried not to come back. This is the generation of prophets. Now with the development of China's economy, many parents have increased their assets when their strengths have not improved. Accordingly, their children can also go abroad, but few can go to the four-year program. The international students in their situation have a characteristic. They say that they are going to study abroad, but in fact it is a long-term travel. There are almost no exceptions. It can be seen that the content they publish on the Chinese forum is what they see and hear every day, even some purchasing agents. There is very little to disseminate knowledge. They changed a place to a server to play LOL, bought goods at a better price, fell in love with the same Chinese, played with the Chinese, and then returned home.





Going back to the theme of the American Dream, Bellas’ groups include whites, blacks, yellows, fat, thin, beautiful, ugly, heterosexual, and homosexual. This is a typical American-colored group, and it is also a team trend in the future. As we all know, obese people generally have sweeter voices and sing better. However, in China, even if they have such talents, they cannot be developed. In addition to the objective Chinese environment, they are subjectively. It's a pity that I don't have this idea either. Bellas has been chasing his American dream and realizing his American dream. Although in reality it may not be so beautiful or even cruel. But Americans have never given up on their encouragement, this is the United States. A country that has completely surpassed China in its comprehensive strength, and the United States is the world's most well-deserved power.
A country is made up of citizens. Where is the hope of our country? What will the future hold?
