After watching "Genius Gunner", I was shocked! I never thought that a movie with cheating as the theme could be made so hot and beautiful.
Are the protagonists super interesting?
But the appearance of the protagonists is only one aspect. What is more eye-catching is actually the tense plot and the explosive acting skills of the actors. As someone commented, a film about cheating has the tension of being filmed in a spy war movie.
From childhood to adulthood, we have experienced various exams, large and small, and we have experienced cheating more or less, but it is the first time that we have seen someone with a high IQ like the heroine Xiaolin. For those of us our age, this movie is a bit too late, but for students, it's definitely a textbook-level cheating guide.
The heroine Xiaolin is a decathlete with high IQ and academic mastery. She has an all-round development in moral, intellectual, physical, and labor. Even if she is good enough, her father still insists on sending her to an aristocratic school. From this point of view, parents all over the world are the same, all wishful thinking "for the good of their children", they do everything they can to break their hearts for their children, but never care if this is what they want.
Xiaolin should have no chance of cheating at all, but when she was taking the photo of her admission certificate, a girl named Grace kindly arranged her hair and took off her glasses, so that she could take a better-looking photo of her ID card, and thus gained a lot of money. her friendship.
And Grace is also a scumbag, with a high appearance, an IQ in a hurry, and the legendary chest and no brains.
Grace is a member of the school drama club, and her score in the exam determines whether she can continue to participate in the show. So, she turned to Xiaolin for help.
Xiao Lin voluntarily acted as Grace's extracurricular tutor in exchange for Grace calling Xiao Lin "Mr. Xiao Lin". But even though Grace was usually taught a lot, she couldn't remember a single question during the exam. During the exam, Xiaolin discovered another dirty secret, that is, as long as you sign up for the training class run by the invigilator, you will get a copy of the exam paper in advance. And the teacher is obviously in this way to promote students to enter their own training class, so as to make huge profits.
This made Xiaolin very angry, so she helped her best friend Grace to cheat with a rubber filled with multiple-choice answers and help her pass the exam.
After this exam, Grace told the secret of cheating to her rich second-generation boyfriend Xiaobus, who also asked Xiaolin to help him pass the exam. He and Xiaolin calculated an economic account, giving Xiaolin 3,000 baht for one course, 13 courses in a semester, and he could find more "customers" for Xiaolin. Together, Xiaolin's income can be 234,000 baht.
For a poor student from a struggling family, this is a considerable sum of money. Xiao Lin was a little shaken, but she didn't let go until the minibus told her that the money could completely offset the sponsorship fee for her to enter the school. It turned out that in addition to the tuition fee, everyone who entered the noble school also had to pay a sponsorship fee. Although Xiaolin's grades were excellent, the principal exempted her from the tuition fee when she entered the school, but she still charged her father's 200,000 sponsorship fee. , Dad has been hiding from her. After knowing the truth, Xiaolin immediately agreed to the "deal" with the minibus.
In this way, Xiaolin has formed a collective scale of cheating by helping people cheat individually. At the same time, she was greatly inspired by playing the piano and invented a new cheating method, using the fingerings of four international famous songs, representing ABCD respectively, so that the students who participated in the cheating could keep in mind, so as to ensure smooth cheating.
Xiaolin's cheating journey was not smooth. During an exam, another academic master Banker discovered a secret of plagiarism, which implicated Xiaolin and exposed her helping others as a gunman. , the school did not expel her because of her excellent grades, but canceled her application for a scholarship to study abroad. Bank, on the other hand, was given the opportunity to apply for a scholarship to study abroad.
Xiaolin, who was hit hard, decided to stop cheating, but at this time, Grace offered her a deal again. As long as she helped Grace and the minibus pass the STIC International Exam, she would receive 600,000 baht.
STIC does not actually exist in reality. It is the incarnation of the SAT and is a reference score used to apply for studying in the United States.
Cheating in such a heavyweight exam is naturally very risky, and Xiaolin refused at first. However, when she went to the hotel lobby to look for a minibus, she saw the wall clocks in different time zones in the hotel lobby, and quickly found out that the STIC exam is held all over the world with time difference, and she can still cheat by passing this time difference, so she decided to go to Canada first Sydney takes the test, then transmits the answers back to Thailand, where they are brought in in repurposed pencils. It is flawless.
However, there are many questions in this kind of test, and the process is very strict. You can only use the 10 minutes of rest between the tests to send back the answers, but it is difficult for one person to remember all the answers. Xiaolin needs a partner. gram. At this time, Bank was inexplicably beaten and missed the scholarship exam. His family was even worse than Xiao Lin. His mother opened the laundry room alone, and the lathering of clothes and hand washing could not make a lot of money. I have been working hard in aristocratic schools by relying on scholarships, and now I cannot apply for scholarships, and I am even more faced with difficulties. So Xiaolin persuaded him to join her in cheating. Through this cheating, Xiaolin will make a profit of 2 million, while Bank will make a profit of 1 million.
In order to convince Bank, Xiaolin said: Minibus and Grace are born winners in life, and people like us have to work harder to get what we want. Even if you're honest and you don't cheat, life will still cheat you.
Xiao Lin's remarks touched almost all the moviegoers around me, and they almost sighed in unison: Heartbroken! !
Some people say that Xiaolin embarked on the road of cheating because of poverty, and it was poverty that forced the genius to the road of depravity. But if you look closely, you will find that it's not just that. Xiaolin's journey of cheating has always been the filth of the adult world, prompting her to change.
The first time she helped Grace to cheat was because of friendship, but what really made her decide to cheat was when she discovered the secret of the teacher's passing the exam to get the students to sign up for the training class. The second time I made a deal with the minibus, I was dissatisfied with the fact that the school charged a sponsorship fee after charging the tuition fee. To put it bluntly, she knew from the beginning that cheating was wrong, but she found the rationality of cheating from some unspoken rules in the adult world. Her high IQ actually harmed her. She saw through the adult world and learned to imitate the rules of adults, thus embarking on the road of "degeneration".
Xiaolin's deterioration is actually a kind of backlash against the adult world. This was revealed when she was cheating for the second time, when the principal talked to her. The principal criticized her for using the school to make money, but she retorted: I am not the only one who uses the school to make money.
The subtext is obvious: why only state officials are allowed to set fires, and people are not allowed to light lamps? You are immoral first, so don't just use me as a negative teaching material.
Banker's blackening is different from Xiaolin's. He is really poor. He suddenly realized in all the suffering he experienced that poverty is the original sin of all suffering. Poverty will not be forgiven. are rich people.
When I went to Sydney to take the exam, Banker said something that impressed me. He said: From tomorrow, the world is ours.
Xiaolin smiled and agreed.
But in fact, they are still too naive, the world has never belonged to the poor, and it is impossible to achieve class leap even by cheating.
Xiaolin and Bank have always thought that their talents can change their destiny and make themselves the masters of destiny. But in fact, from beginning to end, they are nothing more than test tools for the rich. They traded their future, the opportunity to go abroad, for "huge money", which, to the rich, was insignificant.
At the end of the film, Bank was expelled from school and disqualified from the exam, and Xiaolin also faced the same fate, but the minibus and Grace passed the exam and went wild.
This is very disappointing. The world never treats the poor kindly. Xiaolin is right. The rich only need to pay enough money to want something, while the poor can only pay more, such as their studies, future, and reputation. , better opportunities.
You may think that the world is still very fair. Although Xiaolin and Bank were given ordinary backgrounds, they were given extraordinary talents, and the wealthy backgrounds of Minibus and Grace, but they were given mediocre backgrounds. IQ. But the reality is that mediocre rich people use wealth to control the fate of high IQ people.
Although this is a cheating-themed movie, the cheating is made very hot, and even makes people excited and excited for the heroine cheating every time, and will not stand on the moral high ground to judge. But this does not affect the film becoming an anti-cheating film. It tells us that it is impossible for the poor to achieve class leap by cheating. If they want to counterattack, they must make good use of their talents and take the right path. And the rich cannot live by cheating forever. Just like what Xiaolin said to Grace at the end: "Did you know that there are no multiple-choice questions after college? How did you copy me?"
No matter whether you are rich or poor, you have to eat one bite at a time, and you have to walk the road one step at a time. No one can eat a fat man in one bite, and no one can let someone walk all the way for you in a lifetime. There has never been a so-called shortcut in this world. It is someone else who cheats and deceives yourself. Shortcuts lead to a dead end in the end.
