"Life is not knowing what to do all the time"

The headmaster was stern and stern like an eagle, the priest was kind-hearted but cunning and called him an old fox, the young nun looked innocent and innocent like a lost sheep, and the 12-year-old black boy at the heart of the problem was too If he is unique, call him the ugly duckling.

The eagle and the old fox
are incompatible at the beginning of the film. Eagle is forbidden to eat candy, use ballpoint pens, girls are forbidden to bring cards, and students are forbidden to listen to the radio. She is against everything.
The old fox is just the opposite of her. He is humorous, approachable, addicted to sugar, uses ballpoint pens, grows long nails, and even encourages students to fall in love. In short, he advocates new things. This is a pair of contradictions, simply incompatible.

The eagle and the ugly duckling's mother, the
eagle insisted on expelling the perverts from the school, to prove that the ugly duckling's mother wanted to find out the truth. What surprised her was the ugly duckling's mother snot and tears: Yes, the ugly duckling is very miserable, the ugly duckling is a little boy There is a homosexual tendency, even if there is something blasphemous with the priest, it will all be ok, as long as it waits until June...
In the eyes of the eagle, nothing is higher than order, and she shoulders the responsibility of maintaining this order, for the sake of This responsibility is at all costs, "to serve God in step by step away from God".
The mother thinks that everything is higher than her son's future, and she will only stand on the side of her son and those who are good to her son.

The eagle, the old fox, and the little sheep, the
eagle, look at the world with the confidence to see everything, and take the responsibility of excavating the evil and telling the world.
The little sheep is pure and kind, swaying from side to side. Seeing the evil deeds in doubt, I feel deeply disturbed in my soul. Once a reasonable statement appears, I immediately open my arms and embrace it, because insisting on doubt is painful, so pure as she can't bear the darkness. She believed in the warmth hidden under the eagle's iron face, and was also moved by the wise old fox's long talk with her that human love and tolerance are the most important things.
It's just that the eagle's belief is order and responsibility, and the old fox's belief is love and tolerance. When each of them revolved around their own beliefs, the little sheep swayed left and right, and she started to go crazy. The little white boy was being shoved around by them, and all three must have started to get lost, all tormented by their own doubts that made them ignore the others.

This is not a movie about good and evil, everyone lives in their own world, centers on their own beliefs, ignores the rotation of others, is driven by unknown forces, and does not know where to go in the future, just like an old fox gifting The dancing villain of the ugly duckling. People have never been able to truly communicate with each other. We revolve around ourselves, and we cannot enter the world of others at all. Therefore, the essence of human beings is loneliness - unable to know others, so we never really understand ourselves, and doubts follow. Stubborn as an old nun, she could not help crying and confessing her doubts. At a loss - Mu Xin said: Life is all about not knowing what to do all the time.
Maybe this is human being, it is life...

In the end, although this is not a movie about good and evil, I am afraid that I will lose my waist after discussing the issues of life, but I still believe that the child abuse incident never happened, the lonely ugly duckling There is no father's love, the priest is his support in the vast sea of ​​people, he is so unique, this love must be quite complicated, he is still a child, his love is pure, he relies on this big tree, and looks at him with great reverence His every move, caring about his views (he once asked his classmates whether he was fat or not at the beginning of the film, and the priest once told his colleagues fat jokes.) The priest cares for vulnerable children with his eclectic love, just as He said that love is human nature, that no love is immoral, and that breaking the order does not mean evil. He looked at the petals in the Bible and reminded himself that spring was coming. At this time, there seemed to be a ray of light shining on his face, and I couldn't help but admire that this is really a warm old fox.
