There are many angles to evaluate a film. Movie shots, montages, light and shadow, clothing... After reading "Street Diary", I have a lot of thoughts in my heart, and what I want to say most is the connotation of the story it conveys. What makes us break through the darkness?
In the film "Street Diary", in addition to the teacher Ms. Gruwell, the rest are those teenagers who live in violent conflicts. They encounter various problems, the marginal identity of non-white people, and smuggling. Immigrants' cultural misfits, evil deals in gangs, poverty that can't pay rent, violent families, or personal reasons for running away because of rebellion, etc., but in fact, their biggest problem is desperation, for everything Despair, life, destiny and the future. This is undoubtedly the great darkness.
So what made them break through the darkness?
The key person is this Gruwell teacher. It is her courage to face the darkness and make unremitting efforts to change these children. To support his educational ideals, he can work three jobs. Buy new books for the kids and take them on trips. It is her longing for a better future and the eternal pursuit of truth, goodness and beauty rooted in her heart. When Mr. Gruwell came out, he wore a string of beautiful pearl necklaces, shining with confidence and beauty. This string of pearls was only plucked once in the whole movie, after witnessing the atrocities on campus. She was shaken. Her father's encouragement made her brave again to wear a pearl necklace and walk with these children. It is her infinite encouragement from the realization of beauty. Reading books, writing diaries, and inviting famous people to their side are all great encouragements for children. They have the power to change the darkness of despair and welcome the dawn of dawn with confidence.
As an educator, I can't help but admire her! The spring breeze and the rain can touch the souls of students and change their lives.
A few more impressive details:
The girl Ava bravely gave the most honest testimony in court. This significance is not only whether she is honest and brave, but more importantly, she decided to stay away from the hatred and racial concepts that she was instilled in her childhood.
At this time, we saw an interesting choice. When you are dominated by hatred, the bravery you show is just hypocritical and meaningless. Only when you are away from hatred, the bravery you show is true bravery. , all kinds of really good qualities will be naturally manifested and become the criteria for life in the future.
Reality outside the movie: Ms. Grouvel approached the confused kids in the fall of 1994, and in reality, the kids organized a fundraising concert called Echoes of the Soul in 1997, using the proceeds Visited Washington as a travel expense and brought his diary to the Secretary of Education. Later, they also traveled to New York, Germany, Poland, the Netherlands, and Sarajevo to experience the life described in the books given to them by the teachers. In 2002, Ion Gruwell and these grown-up "freelance writers" established the Ion Gruwell Education Project (EGEP) to help teenagers across the United States who share similar experiences with them. .
Fortunately, this isn't just a story, it's reality.
Reality is not skinny, and there are educational miracles created by countless ordinary people! This educational miracle is shining brightly and continues to illuminate the people who move forward.
"Believe in the Future" with the index finger at the end has also inspired countless people in the dark.
When cobwebs mercilessly sealed my hearth,
When the smoke of the ashes sighs the sorrow of poverty,
I still stubbornly pave the ashes of disappointment,
Write it down with beautiful snowflakes: Believe in the future.
When my purple grapes turn into late autumn dew,
When my flowers snuggle in the feelings of others,
I still stubbornly use the frosted withered vine,
Write on the desolate earth: Believe in the future.
With my fingers the waves that rush to the sky,
I will use the sea that holds the sun in my palm,
Swaying the warm and beautiful pen of the dawn,
Write in child's pen: Believe in the future.
The reason why I firmly believe in the future,
It is the eyes that I believe in the people of the future—
She has eyelashes that have swept away the dust of history,
She has pupils that can see through the chapters of the years.
No matter what people say about our rotting flesh,
Those lost melancholy, the pain of failure,
It's moved tears, deep sympathy,
Still gave a contemptuous smile, a bit of sarcasm.
I'm a firm believer in what people say about our spine,
The countless times of exploration, loss, failure and success,
We will give enthusiastic, objective and fair evaluation.
Yes, I anxiously await their assessment.
Friend, firmly believe in the future,
Believe in unrelenting efforts,
Believe in the youth who conquers death,
Believe in the future and love life.
