Western education will also "hope to become a dragon"?

We know that there have been countless pianist-themed films in the history of movies, and the interesting thing is that such themes seem to be born with a lucky aura, and it is difficult not to win awards. "Shining Demeanor" is also such a movie. It was born in the film history when it competed with classic movies such as "Forrest Gump", "The Shawshank Redemption", "The English Patient", "Frozen" and "Pulp Fiction". the 1994s and 1995s.

When you first watch "Shining Demeanor", you will definitely be tortured by the protagonist's talented but suppressed, distorted and very passive character. However, after careful taste, you will find that the growth of the protagonist David was completely influenced by such an immigrant family behind him. real impact.
At the beginning of the story, little David's father did not shy away from his own life experience: a Jewish family who immigrated from Poland, a country ravaged by war, to Australia, a stable and developed country.
Then the father kept instilling these concepts to his family and the audience: "This is a world where only the strong have the right to speak, and strength is everything." Three paw prints from the lion - a side view of his background in circus work. He kept saying to David: "My father never let me touch the piano, and I know it very well. Now I can support you physically. You must work hard and strive for the first place."

Dai David's father did not shy away from his obsessive love for music. Not only could he really sit there and listen to records every day, but he would also force little David to enjoy this "common hobby" with him: his father would keep telling him what music was in the world The best and the hardest to play, and tell him to play only that piece.
So little David became a child who absolutely obeyed his father from the very beginning. When his father said one, he would never dare to say two. Even after severing the father-son relationship and running to London in one go, he unconsciously chose the "hardest piece of music in the world" during the school-wide competition. Even if he was insane at the end, he was able to get rid of the moral shackles without restraint. When he saw his father for the last time, he was still scared and turned back into a child, unable to say a word.

At the film's final comeback concert, many people may have cried with the protagonist David, and we may have noticed this detail: all the relatives and friends who accompanied David from childhood to adulthood came to cheer, but his father was not there. . David may be playing music outside his father's shadow for the first time in his life, so whether his cry is a farewell or a release may only be understood by himself.

Talk back to this special ethnic group represented by the protagonist's father. First of all, they came from countries with relatively backward civilization or wars and disputes, hoping to gain a place in the western developed countries at that time. The stubbornness of nature (possibly due to backward thinking) and inferiority make them reluctant to trust people around them, whether they are neighbors in Western society or people from the same ethnic group with the same background. There is a small detail in the film: Although their family is a very traditional Jewish family, they try to distance themselves from other Jewish groups. In the film, the father is constantly hesitant to use the opportunity of holding a Jewish bar mitzvah for young David to help him raise funds for his studies.

However, we must not simply classify this type of people as the "immigrant generation from backward countries to developed countries", they are also likely to appear among people who want to be stationed in relatively developed areas in a relatively backward part of a country , or people with assimilation thoughts in a relatively backward era.

Think about it, is this kind of education model very similar to our "hope children become dragons, women become phoenixes", and are born with confidence that their educational ideas are all correct. A simple sentence: "What does a father do, you are only suitable for what you are doing" or "It is useless to study art, learn a doctor to earn more money" can decide the fate of a child. And this idea, why is it not passed down from his predecessors, or even older generations. Therefore, whether it is religion, art, or inspiration in the film, they are only superficial. What is really worth thinking about is the family outlined by the father and the son. In our age that may be considered a relatively civilized age, it may still appear around us from time to time. .
