- It's really great.
From every aspect of the film, it can be said to be impeccable.
And this film, the biggest doubt to me is: why do rules exist?
Let's talk about the male protagonist
. He was a person who followed the rules at the beginning (from the beginning of refusing to cheat, to the abhorrence of cheating and making small reports)
and then betrayed (beaten) by the rules. And the prisoner who beat himself did not get any punishment.
At this point the existence of the rules is questioned.
Why would someone break the rules and not be punished?
Why do I follow the rules but suffer indiscriminate disasters?
Is it a bug in the rules? Or is it the fault of whoever made the rules?
Then we look at the heroine:
a model student, (once) an excellent student.
The first time I cheated was because someone violated the rules (the teacher gave money to the students who participated in the cram school.) and would not be punished, so I decided to break the rules myself.
Then he participated in the large-scale cheating because the principal violated the rules and would not be punished (they promised to waive the tuition fee, but paid a high sponsorship fee.)
From this time, the existence of the rules began to be questioned.
If someone else breaks the rules without being punished, then the rules are not fair.
Then as long as I become a strong person, then the rules are also available to me.
Both of them have experienced, obeying the rules, upholding the rules, then being betrayed by the rules, and finally no longer believing that the rules can protect themselves, nor the necessity of their existence.
The two geniuses made up their minds at this time - to use the rules, (destroy the rules).
What does it take to break the rules?
The STIC exam is undoubtedly the most successful thing to break the rules.
Definition of STIC test: a unified test for students around the world, and this score is used to prove the student's performance.
If we say that the previous heroine's cheating in school exams just destroyed the school's exam rules and the definition of students in school exams.
Then this global exam cheating destroys the rules of the entire world.
- If you cheat on this exam and succeed. The test rule of "universal exams for students around the world, and students are evaluated based on their grades" is like a child's play.
Are the two geniuses not just for money, but for the pursuit of the thrill of subverting all the rules. So you just accepted this cheating case?
I think this is very possible.
There is a detail in the film-the female protagonist came to the male protagonist's new laundry. On the ground there was a piece of rag that was trampled so that the prototype could not be seen, and it said. I got a high score of 1460 on the STIC exam. (Forgot the exact number)
In the eyes of the rich second generation, the special clothes used to celebrate high scores were not prototypes when they were trampled in the laundry.
And the female protagonist smiled knowingly when she saw it - she probably understood what the male protagonist meant.
What is regarded as a treasure by everyone and can define a person's future and life, the score of the STIC exam, which is the so-called "rule".
——It was trampled on the ground by them, and it was tattered.
This is the most exciting and most detailed place in the whole film. (In my opinion)
So, why did the heroine refuse to cheat with the hero in the end?
My own humble opinion.
——The "despair" the female protagonist feels about the rules is not as profound as that of the male protagonist.
The heroine was "deceived" by the rules, but did not receive substantial harm. ——Material damage has been taken back from "Piano Lesson Remedial".
And this time the cheating was successful, and the sense of achievement she got had already made her feel satisfied.
But the male lead is different.
The despair felt by the male protagonist is deeper and powerless, whether it is material (loss of scholarship), physical (being beaten to hospital) or spiritual (being able to leave this place and pursue better things. dashed hopes for the future).
And through the description of the male protagonist by the rich second-generation man, we can know that the male protagonist has no so-called friends at all when he is in school, and he is all focused on learning.
He has always been alone.
Just when he felt that he had got a "partner", he also found out in despair that this partner was the one who once destroyed everything about him.
So his satisfaction with the success of cheating is not just the "sense of accomplishment" after breaking the rules. More of a "sense of revenge".
That's why, when the heroine was already satisfied with the result, the hero was not satisfied.
What the male protagonist expects is the destruction of all rules.
So, (in the eyes of the male protagonist) what are the rules?
"Rules are just a means for the strong to restrict the weak."
Therefore, as long as you become the strong, you can use the rules to restrain the weak and bully the weak.
And such a rule will only make one's own tragedy repeat itself on others.
So, destroy all the rules.
Such a heavy concept is not something that the heroine can bear.
Because what the heroine wants is not revenge against the rules. Instead, use the rules to achieve "win-win".
In the end, the heroine turned herself in.
In my personal understanding, it is because "if all the rules are destroyed, then I will have no rules to use."
Therefore, in order to use the rules after becoming a strong person, you must catch all those who want to destroy the rules.
To be honest, the possibility of this may be very low, but the author also wrote it out.
It's just a movie after all.
The male protagonist feels that proving himself to be strong is defined by the ability to destroy the rules.
And the heroine feels that to prove that she is strong is defined by being able to use the rules.
Is the definition they define for themselves also a "rule"? (laughs)

Originally the above was just a draft outline, but After I finished writing the draft, I was too lazy to change it. . .
To be honest, this movie gave me quite a deep impression, otherwise I wouldn’t have finished watching it and started writing this long review.
If you have any different ideas, or doubts, you can leave a message to me below.
thank you all.
