The teacher Germain in the play is a kind old man with profound literary skills and has also published books. But he didn't think he was a successful writer. When he first read Claude's words, he was deeply attracted to him and decided to help him complete the story. Unexpectedly, in the process of being clever and being mistaken by cleverness, it is not convenient to reveal the unexpected ending. In the novel's writing process, Claude is a talented young man, he is sensitive and observant, and Germain himself is a person with the same characteristics. In his eyes only the world of books, he is fascinated by literature and hopes to popularize literature education. When Claude met Germain, it reminded me of the relationship between Teacher Laza and the female students in "My Transition Teacher". The teacher taught the students to write and taught them the way of life, but sometimes they were reversed by the students. teach a lesson.
Don't be obsessed with who is going to destroy who. Sometimes creation just needs to be specific. For example, some writers of psychiatric literature write about the illness of the sick. When the imagination is far from being close to reality, it must be close to the real world. When young people are beginning to fall in love, they want to try a love that they cannot get, or it is not a love at all, but to challenge themselves to gain a sense of conquest and success, but the object of their secret love is the mother of a classmate. Basically, the relationship between them can be said to be true and false, and it is not easy to see what is in front of you in the fog of true and false. Including the audience, to a certain extent, is also the choice left by the director to the audience. Will someone be destroyed, or will someone kill the author? This is a question for the audience to answer for themselves.
After all, in the play, the house is the stage and the only scene where everything happens. It is often said that movies and TV dramas need to "start up and turn together", and novels also need to give readers climax and suspense in certain positions. With the help of Germain, Claude gradually found the direction he wanted to go, and in the process, the two became unable to. extricate themselves. To a certain extent, it reflects the helplessness of reality and is an accusation. The young man complained about why his mother died early, and he envied Rafa's classmate who had an elegant and noble mother. He is also jealous that the Rafa family is a harmonious family, projecting his absence in the family. As for Germain's marital status, like the Rafa family, he gradually put his curiosity and emotion into this voyeuristic story.
Although literature plays an important connecting role in the film, there is also a mutual artistic relationship between the two, and the film also has considerable modern art elements. The actors in the film are tit-for-tat for the essence of art, and there are moral disputes between views and angles. . The most exciting part of the film is the contrast between the old and the new. For example, Germain's attitude towards modern art is relatively reserved and conservative. He even calls contemporary art "SHIT", but his wife thinks it is the best. , hold on to the gallery anyway. Another example is that Claude sees what he does as lustful and physical, but Germain thinks in a way that he is helping him to know himself, a story of growth.
In addition, it is not only the relationship between literature and art, voyeurism and intervention that should be paid attention to in the film. Consider also the French education system. In the opening credits, the school requires students to wear school uniforms to make them feel fair. But when we think about it carefully, school education is sometimes a prison. Students have to attend the same classes, learn the same things, and write the same standard answers in exams. On the contrary, the education system is creating class and differentiation, and school uniforms are just skins in disguise. Education does not allow students to ask questions and learn independently. Instead, students bow their heads when the teacher asks a question. In fact, if you think about it, what destroys the students is that the representative is an autocratic system, the humanities become worthless in the commercial society, the school is like an arsenal, and the potential of the students is not explored, how sad. When the principal asked Germain whether Claude was a black sheep or a lost sheep, this sentence was the author's most profound dialogue. He has the possibility of destroying others, but at the same time he is a talented person, which cannot be ignored.
What is worthy of praise is that the soundtrack in the play and the performances of the filmmakers are also good. The most important thing is that the script looks tense, and the literary drama can also make people feel frightened. It is a rare movie.
