After reading it, I felt like I was knocked twice on my chest.

This is an afterthought. After watching this movie, I feel like a frying pan has been knocked on my chest twice.

While watching, I traveled back to my junior high school days, the school that was spurned by the surrounding elementary schools as "you will go to that school if you don't study hard", I think of the class teacher who was ill, the beautiful English teacher, the bitter political teacher, the popular and The Lolita biology teacher who left us for the postgraduate entrance examination, a very old and understanding mathematics teacher ("You don't want to review mathematics, there will be no improvement in a short time, look at physical chemistry"); and my own class 1/ 2Single parents & classmates from poor urban families, classmates who are not studying at all in other classes, dilapidated basketball courts, canteens with nothing for sale, old janitors from underworld... After entering high school, I enjoyed a 4-person room. When I had an air conditioner, water heater, and a dormitory with a large balcony, I still had that junior high school in my heart.

This is a strange complex. It is undeniable that both high school and junior high school have their own pains, but I can clearly perceive the struggle and reality of junior high school teachers. This is something that most high school teachers don't have. The income of teachers in these two schools is too different, and the quality of students is too far behind.

But I always felt like I came from that junior high school and didn't have a sense of belonging to high school.

Back in the movie, I think of what my uncle said to my brother in Little Miss Sunshine: Proust said that when he reminisced about the past, all his growth came from his miserable days, and there was nothing in his happy days Leave. And high school? High school is a good time to be miserable.

That's right. Liu Yuling's scene left a deep impression on me, especially when I looked back at my own state.

The plot of the film itself is fragmented, and the monologue is also very strange. I always feel that what is expressed through characters should not be direct things, but should be in line with the content of the characters themselves. That is to say, the object should be a character, not the audience itself. Of course this seems to be an old concept. Regarding monologues and narrations, I still prefer Rohmer's approach, even if it is to the audience, it is also a character with a personality. The most important thing is that these words do not necessarily reflect his true emotions, but are processed expressions of his true emotions. And through the behaviors in the plot and the emotions that have been dealt with or the language that is covered when expressed, the characters are collectively reflected.

Having said that, when I watched this movie, I really had to pick a good time. I went to bed after watching it, and ended up having a very depressing dream...

Detachment quotes

  • Henry Barthes: How are you to imagine anything if the images are always provided for you?

    Henry Barthes: Doublethink. To deliberately believe in lies, while knowing they're false.

    Henry Barthes: Examples of this in everyday life: "Oh, I need to be pretty to be happy. I need surgery to be pretty. I need to be thin, famous, fashionable." Our young men today are being told that women are whores, bitches, things to be screwed, beaten, shit on, and shamed. This is a marketing holocaust. Twenty-four hours a day for the rest of our lives, the powers that be are hard at work dumbing us to death.

    Henry Barthes: So to defend ourselves, and fight against assimilating this dullness into our thought processes, we must learn to read. To stimulate our own imagination, to cultivate our own consciousness, our own belief systems. We all need skills to defend, to preserve our own minds.

  • Henry Barthes: [agitated at assisted living nurse] Let me be very clear here, you stop neglecting his needs, or I will start fucking with yours! I will have you fired! Then it's going to be your family! Your children are gonna be at risk! You got it?
