High School Musical - young, nothing is impossible

I remember when I was crazy about reviewing GRE sentences to fill in the blanks, there was a question that was particularly impressive. The basic meaning of the question is that the reason why people like melodrama more and more is because people can understand the characters in the show without any effort. In Chinese terms, it seems that everyone is a face mask, but these stylized tasks are cleverly placed in an ingenious plot, and I want to be able to sing and dance with handsome guys and beautiful girls. There are very few people who say no to the musical.
As a third-year student, I feel that I can't keep up with the rhythm of American college movies that discuss personality development and the future of life again. When I was in high school, I watched a lot of such American college movies, "What a girl want"And so on, the basic plot settings are the same. It seems that colleges and universities in the United States are very open, just like college life in China, each student can develop his own interests and hobbies well in high school, and the clubs are quite professional. Nerds who can only study, rich and powerful family, outstanding looks, mostly plastics, blondy cheerleaders, sports people, like computer technology, some autistic geeks, and bad-looking, unpopular losers . The sports family is basically an ass image in the play, and then there is a handsome guy who is different from everyone else, but the plastic family is often not favored by the screenwriter or director. It seems that the image of blonde and blue eyes is destined for their bitch status.

For the plastic family in mean girls, Lindsay

basically talks about the personality development of teenagers on the far left lol plot. It seems that Americans attach great importance to the personality development of teenagers, and being yourself is a theme that will never be outdated. The captain of the popular basketball team has actually always wanted to be a stage actor in "High School Musical". The bright-looking cheerleader actually hides an unknown secret "mean girl" behind him. The ability of almost ordinary people "sydney white". Don't get lost in that belonging while seeking a collective identity in our youth.

The funny thing is that there seems to be no mystery in the simple high school comedy that we haven't understood yet, but in fact we are all lost in the siege of life. Popular people live a life of inner pain, their losers who envy them and desperately seek approval. At this point, it seems to be a compromise between Western culture and Eastern culture, looking for a fulcrum and a balance. But China, as a country that unanimously admires this kind of "harmonious" culture, is not without extreme emotional catharsis (the great poet Li Bai is a good example). Therefore, for the issue of life development, it can only be discussed as a philosophical proposition or an art theme, and it is just a talk.
Life is actually just a melodrama, is it nerd, is it geek, is it plastic, or is it dork? all up to yourselves.
ps Another interesting discovery is that in High School Musical, I once discovered the pursuit of French culture by English culture. For example, Shapay, as a noble student owner, has a French name, and his butler kept bursting out a few sentences. French (pardon moi?) Hehe, it's interesting that this cultural phenomenon is rare in Japanese.

High School Musical 3: Senior Year quotes

  • Troy Bolton: East High is a place where teachers encouraged us to break the status quo and define ourselves as we choose. Where a jock can cook up a mean crème brulee, and a brainiac can break it down on the dance floor. It's a place where one person, if it's the right person, changes us all. East High is having friends we'll keep for the rest of our lives, and that means we really are 'all in this together'. Once a Wildcat, always a Wildcat!

  • Troy Bolton: [Troy and Chad have just finished pushing Troy's truck back to his house] I'm saving up for a new fuel pump.

    Chad Danforth: [aggravated] Mhm, save faster!
