The name of the movie is Smart Man. What is a smart person? What exactly is the definition of smart? High IQ? Or....
Lawrence, a professor at Carnegie Mellon University, of course he is a smart man. He is very knowledgeable and is an elite in the literature department, but he is arrogant and self-righteous. He can't know any of the students he has taught. I just shove my own theories to the students, I don't know how to interact with the students, and I never consider whether my students can accept it. Is he smart? He didn't know the troubles and pain in his daughter's heart at all, and Chuck called him a fool! He met the female student who had a crush on him back then, but he didn't know how to date her. He even had sex with her when he wasn't sure whether he loved her or not. When Jenny asked him, she was his or something. When he was speechless. Professor Lawrence's IQ and EQ are not on the same level.
Vanessa, a little genius like Alex in "Bandeng Family", has excellent grades to the point of envy and hatred, but is she really happy? No, this is the point that Chuck knows best in his heart. He told Lawrence, "Vanessa is now like a replica of a robot, without any friends." Living in her own world, immersed in her own aura, is this the life of a normal 17-year-old girl? ? Of course no! Because of this, Vanessa is desperate to show her intelligence, to show her talent, whether it's from her demeanor, the way she talks, she doesn't even know how many people are disgusted and disgusted by her doing so. hate her. She didn't know how to get along with people, she didn't know how to be humble, and she was as arrogant and self-righteous as her father. And all of this, Lawrence has given Vanessa an excellent role model.
So after watching this movie, one of my feelings is that I would rather be stupid than be that smart. In fact, I am not happy at all, but I can only show my smartness every day for comfort and keep laughing at other people's Stupid to satisfy their own hearts, as everyone knows, deep down in their hearts they still envy them. It's very painful to be successful alone.
I like Chuck, he's not a smart guy like Lawrence, he just sells phone cards for a living, he's something Lawrence looks down on, but he's happy, just like Vanessa asked Chuck about his future plans," Are you going to keep buying calling cards in the future?" Such a question reflects that she despises such a job at all, but at Chuck Lake, she said that this line of business is very profitable, and he likes life like this very much. So this shows that Vanessa and Chuck are completely different people. Chuck is the comparison between Vanessa and Lawrence, the comparison between smart and stupid, stupid people have stupid blessings, smart people have The troubles of the wise.
But there must be a Chuck between Lawrence and Vanessa. Chuck is the one who understands them best. He knows Vanessa's pain and Lawrence's sorrow. He helps them subconsciously, maybe they don't. You will feel it, but you will find that you are more and more inseparable from him.
At the end of the film, Janet informs Lawrence of her pregnancy. "We're all smart people," she said. We're all smart people, and we know what to do.
Both Lawrence and Chuck are smart people.
