Teachers will naturally take the initiative to carry a lot of responsibilities after they are dedicated to their profession.

Another movie that iQIYI guessed I liked to recommend to me. I clicked it on the basis of my first feeling, and the first feeling really didn't lie to me. It is an inspirational and moving movie without losing its authenticity. It is the type I like. .

Influenced by her father, Irene came to Wilson School with educational ideals and was assigned to teach a super poor class. The students in it were basically gang members. They could kill or be killed every day, and it was too late to worry about their own safety every day , let alone learning. Moreover, the principal, the dean of education, and the old teachers all feel that these children are hopeless and do not have expectations for them, so of course these children will give up on themselves.

On the first day of school, the children walked into the classroom reluctantly. As soon as they entered the classroom, everyone turned the table and gathered together in small groups. Every student looked like they were saying don't mess with me. Their attitude towards Irene, as can be imagined, has no respect at all. They guessed whether Irene could last a week, but of course everyone knew that, Irene not only lasted a week, but also managed to stay with them in the third and fourth year of high school. The children also gave Irene complete trust. The twists and turns in the middle are obvious, and the movie tells the story to the fullest.

The confrontation between Irene and the dean started silently when Irene entered the school. The dean said it was best not to wear a pearl necklace to work. Irene said that the necklace was given by her father. The next day before Irene went to work, the close-up was given to this string of pearl necklaces. Irene hesitated for a moment before picking up the necklace. As the film unfolds, close-ups and medium shots are given to this necklace many times, and I think it represents Irene's silent confrontation with the school in attitude and the strength that her father brought her. The school did not buy new books for this group of students, and Irene used the money earned from her part-time job to buy them out of her own pocket. When Irene found that the principal listened to the dean, and the dean opposed her and didn't give her any support, she didn't give up, but skipped the school and went directly to the Education Bureau to help her bring her children to extracurricular teaching, and shouted The new teacher leads the third and fourth year of high school.

After the students got the new book, they muttered to each other that this is a new book. It can be seen that they have never received a new book. The school thinks that they are not worthy, and they have not been respected. Of course, they cannot be expected to respect each other and the teachers. The moment the kids get their new book should be the first time they feel respected, and from that moment on, their perception of Irene begins to change.

Irene was greatly touched by these children, and the moment Irene thought about it was in one class, the students drew an ugly picture of their classmates, circulated them throughout the class, and finally passed them on to Irene. . Irene took this opportunity to educate this group of children. Of course, the children were very unconvinced at first, arguing with Irene and talking about how difficult it was for them. In the verbal exchange, Irene mentioned the word "massacre", a boy raised his hand and asked what "massacre" meant, then Irene asked how many students in the class knew the meaning of the word "massacre", no one raised their hand , Irene asked how many people had experienced a friend being killed in a gang fight, and most of them raised their hands. At that moment, the class quieted down, and Irene was thoughtful. Maybe it was from that moment that Irene found her mission and understood her responsibility to save these children.

Irene started to work two jobs and bought books for students by herself; set up interesting teaching sessions in the classroom to arouse students' enthusiasm; let children write diaries, exercise children's grammar, and encourage them to express themselves bravely; bring students with excellent grades Step out of Long Beach and visit the Holocaust Memorial. During this process, these troubled teenagers, who had nothing to do with Wen Jing's reading, began to read on the bus, in the library, and at home. During this process, the troubled teenager who originally only had hatred in his heart and had no feelings for other people's life and death began to feel pity, feeling uncomfortable and sad for the unfortunate victims of the Holocaust. As they walked out of the Holocaust Memorial, someone quietly dropped the drug, someone quietly dropped the gun, and they started to soften. After two semesters, 203 united, and their eyes softened.

During this process, Irene was undoubtedly tormented, but no matter how difficult it was, she never gave up. To make matters worse, her husband lost patience in the process and left Irene. Irene lost her family for the sake of her students. Although she is distressed, she also understands her husband's thoughts. The movie really shows this. But fortunately, although her father was a little critical at the beginning, but then slowly, her father understood her responsibilities and gave her great encouragement and support.

I will also become a teacher in 2021, but I am a lot luckier than Irene, most of my students are very good, but there are also very frustrated moments, if Irene has never thought about giving up in the face of such students, then I have When you choose this path, you must always remember your original intention of choosing this path, stick to it, and be responsible to each student.
