I rarely see a Thai movie, and I see this one occasionally. I really didn't expect it to be so wonderful.
The topic of cheating is very down-to-earth, so if anyone who has gone to school has heard of it, and according to incomplete statistics, almost all of them have thought about it.
But the level of this theme is too clear, it is basically a game between cheating and anti-cheating. If it doesn't work out, everyone thinks that the cheating is too perfect, it's just a failure, or it's too clumsy, which makes people wonder if the invigilator has a brain problem.
And the pacing of this movie is very good.
First of all, through the refutation with the dean, the heroine's family background and character settings were injected into the audience's mind very quickly and clearly, and then the silly white sweet little girlfriend made the heroine realize what a real scumbag is, and started Cheating for the first time. The cheating this time was very simple. The most basic materials were used, and the invigilator turned a blind eye.
Then, with the exposure of the news and the temptation of money, the heroine came up with the idea of piano lessons. It can be seen from the bargaining between the hostess and the director that the hostess's family is not rich, and she cares about money very much, so the high price touched her, and she began to help more people cheat through "piano lessons". The combination of the piano music and the cheating process makes this episode very emotional, making people almost forget the nature and consequences of cheating, and immerse themselves in the joy of successful cheating.
After that, the most criticized male protagonist appeared. He first appeared as a teammate of the female protagonist in the competition. The film clearly showed his family background. After the scholarship, the male protagonist exposed the cheating of the female protagonist. It really makes people feel that this person is a bit detrimental to others. Just like thousands of white lotuses, the male protagonist doesn't seem to know that he is going to compete with the female protagonist for scholarships. The right to waive tuition again loses the opportunity to compete for scholarships. I even hope that he can show a little bit of success in his conspiracy, or look complacent when he catches someone else's pigtails, so that he doesn't appear to be a cheap man, and then he sympathizes with the heroine.
Afterwards, in order to complete the large-scale cheating for the exam abroad, the rich and handsome boyfriend of the second girl called a group of younger brothers to give the male lead's scholarship exam to the whole yellow, and the male lead was forced to participate. Speaking of which, the male protagonist is really a bitter character. He is not very happy when he encounters good things, and he does not want it when he encounters unfortunate things, which foreshadows the subsequent fallout. I really don't understand, every time the male protagonist does things that can't be picked out in name, but I just don't like him very much, maybe because he always messes up the good things of the female protagonist, or maybe because of this person Don't make it look uncomfortable. On the other hand, although the heroine has gone farther and farther in cheating, which is not worthy of praise, although she can't say how decent she is, her decisiveness and resoluteness are indeed admirable and convincing.
Before going abroad, the male protagonist was very angry when he learned that he was tricked by the boyfriend of the second girl. In fact, he can't change anything now. He can only choose to complete this order with the female protagonist and make a lot of money. , or pit them together and quit cheating.
I would choose the latter, but the male protagonist did not resist the temptation of money in the end. He felt that earning this amount of money was simply a slap in the face of himself who had exposed the female protagonist before. You either stick to your principles or don't pretend to be a good person, that's the main reason why I hate male protagonists. Poor people must have something to hate, it is so true.
Let's talk about the most exciting overseas cheating part of the movie. This part is like a spy war movie. The cheater is made like a spy who has penetrated into the enemy's interior, but the examiner is like a big villain. While watching, I was sweating for the heroine. At the same time, the male hero's ability to resist pressure against the background of the heroine was simply a scumbag. From the moment the back of the toilet was broken, I just didn't want to see him again. Face. The heroine was very bold and careful, and even completed the cheating plan when the hero left the scene early. This cheating ended successfully.
And I really don't have anything to say about the piece of crap that dropped the chain at the critical moment while sitting on the ground to raise prices.
The film ends with the female protagonist's surrender. I have seen many people think that this ending is too politically correct, but I think it is very reasonable. First of all, the heroine's father is a people's teacher, and whenever he finds out that the heroine has done this, it is unavoidable to surrender himself. Secondly, judging from the reaction of the heroine when she learned that the second man had plotted against the man by any means, and her anger at the leak of her best friend after cheating for the first time, there are traces for her to find her way back.
Overall I liked this movie very much, it managed to move my emotions with the heroine. Although I don't like the male protagonist, this also shows that it is very successful in shaping the characters, or bringing in emotions. It can be said that it is the ultimate in campus-themed films.
