After reading it, my heart is full of cows

I haven't seen such a "tasteless" movie for a long time. Life is so impetuous and I am so irritable. It seems that only movies that can stimulate nerves are not boring. This movie is a "boring" literary film. The teacher just appeared in the camera, upright and full of righteousness. His loud reading voice and the earnest admiration of his classmates can tell that this is an excellent teacher. The film continues, the teacher tells a boy that he is so good, except for "some grammar mistakes and spelling problems, you basically have the quality and soul of a great writer" and tells the boy to say out loud "I am a writer, This is me", you see what an excellent teacher he is, he tells the children to strengthen their ideals and help them build self-confidence. The greatness of this teacher is far more than that. The movie continues, and the teacher wrote four words on the blackboard. To explain what he thinks of world peace, that is, "human dignity + compassion = peace" is shocking and long-lasting thinking. Mr. Simon is one of the protagonists of this movie, but I think that one of the things that makes a movie good or not depends on each character in it, whether they are independent and distinct individuals in the movie, and whether all of them exist in the movie. Every classic is the protagonist. Whether it is the admirable teacher Simon, the protagonist boy, the bullied "big G", the timid Norman, or the boy's mother, father, etc., they are all rich characters. In one of the scenes, "big G" raised the bully boy with angry eyes and flushed face, but finally let him go. Later, his "tolerance" and Norman's "dignity" express what the film is trying to convey. I think this is a good-looking movie, with depth, not difficult to understand, rich characters, and touching. I think if you watched it, you would have more of your different thoughts on the movie.

Narrator: It took maybe thirty seconds for word of Mary Clear and my impending union to cover the school grounds like a suffocating fog. If only our fire drills were that organized. Heck, even the Blue Angels don't fly with that kind of precision any more.

Principal Kelner: Please Steven, just deny it, for the children's sake. I don't care if it's true or not. Please just deny it.
Mr. Simon: It's for the sake of the children that I won't deny it, true or not.
