This film seems to be discussing the educational problems of American society, but in fact, apart from describing the students and their parents as demons, it does not provide any substantive answers. Suicide, Henry left to continue his substitute career, it can be said that there is little light in sight. Therefore, it is better to simply view it as a redemption experiment. The focus of the camera is not only on the unrepentant students, but also on the bullied teachers in the school, including Henry himself, who is immersed in the shadow of childhood, just as he In those film-style flashbacks and monologues, everyone has their own pain, and at the heart of this film's pain are souls who are ignored and long for attention. However, aside from the depressing and depressing atmosphere created by the director's editing and photography, it is still inaccurate to say that the movie is black in the end. Although Henry's efforts at school ended in failure, his rescue of the young prostitute Erica was at least a success. The students couldn't be redeemed because Henry himself was in the quagmire, and Erica was saved because they were ill and could keep each other warm.

    Although it is good, it lacks representativeness, lacks the expected shock, and many truths are just clichés. The theme of "it's not your fault" and "tomorrow will be better" has not been tapped to a new level. PS, why does Adrien Brody always play such a "great" role.

    Tears poured out again and again, until my chest was cramping and it was difficult to breathe. When we feel the need for warmth, the first thing we must learn is to embrace each other. Exhausting our lives, all we have to learn is to embrace each other. Just because "a person can easily learn not to care, but learn to care, it takes a hundred times more effort and courage", don't walk through the gloomy and silent twilight alone, hug each other before crumbling, before the desolate heart of life cools down .

  • Henry Barthes: I am money, I change hands like the dollar bill, that has been rubbed by a lamp; Then a genie appeared and cried loudly, with volume; But the tears were all for myself, and that's where it all went wrong
