Be thoughtful or Be smart.

This film reminds me of the Dead Poets Society. The gap between cultural backgrounds is so deep that many bridges cannot be understood. However, the admiration and depth of the British for literary poetry is evident. I have never seen a high school student in our country who can use ancient poems to demonstrate current affairs, even a graduate student.
Be thoughtful or be smart. Act
casually or practice purposefully.
Whether it is to live happily in the present for yourself, or live out the future in anticipation of others.

It's a timeless movie theme that doesn't give a final answer.


Actions that listen to your inner voice and set your mark will earn respect and faith. It is also easy to go astray because of paranoia. Such as Hector.
Changing yourself all the time to suit the environment around you is smart and easy to achieve the success that is generally recognized in the world. For this reason, corresponding deceit and lies will naturally be born. Such as Irwin.
Neither is wrong. It's just that the times are constantly changing, and we cannot escape the times. So Hector died and Irwin was injured.


PS I like the part where they both share the class. Various opinions came one after another, and the blood boiled, reflecting on the gap of thinking and reaction.
PSS decides that what he likes will want to occupy it with sex. It's animal instinct, right.

    After reading all the quotes and background analysis of the play written by a troupe, I am now experiencing an explosion of information in my mind. || Thinking about it, Hector's teaching method is like me, an engineering dog, who reads various literatures every day without a utilitarian purpose. I feel that I can blurt out a sentence or two from time to time after being nurtured, but in fact, it is not very helpful to finding a job. An Irwin carries you smart.

    This is simply the essence of the corrupt country, poetry and agitation are two-pronged. The dialogue is sharp, the speed of speech is amazing, the amount of information is dizzying, the words are so profound, and the little humor brought by religious belief, identity and character is still clicked, the kind that only people who come here can understand and smile knowingly After that, it was regarded as a dirty joke, such as brother Christ volunteering to get on the motorcycle of the fat teacher to enjoy a same-sex massage. ★★★★
