A colleague said that "Death Poetry Society" is one of the ten best films he has ever seen in his life. This is a very good film, but everyone has their own advantages. I prefer the kind of film made by the Coen brothers or Jiang Wen, with some dreamy colors and some suspense. For example, Cohen's "Where are you buddy?" "(Also translated "The Three Kings of Prison Escape") I even watched it twice and I liked it very much. "Death Poetry Society" is an old film about the dualistic contest between the old and the innovation, the reality and the romance, the newcomer and the old man. This is a genre film made according to the formula. However, "the devil is in the details", almost perfect photography and performance, interpret this old-fashioned story beautifully. This film is very exciting. It is not the patent of Chinese students to be a doctor in a prestigious school and make a lot of money to marry beautiful women. Neal's father, like an ordinary Chinese parent, hoped that his son would become a dragon, stifling his interest in acting, forcing him to study hard, and later go to Harvard Medical School. As a result, the kid couldn't think about it and shot himself. The school just wanted to find a reason to clean up a pool of water, encourage students to show their personality, and cultivate a hobby of the new teacher Keating, so he blamed Neal's death. The new teacher was forced to leave, but he lost his job and gained the hearts of many students. The ending of the movie is open. I don't know what to do in the funeral, but by our side, as soon as we turn around, we will see someone like Keating. In fact, their destinies are different. Some people are rejected, some are assimilated, and some live well, even more successful than others. In theory, education is to nurture us into people who change the world, that is, people like Keating. When I contacted my old classmates, they didn’t ask me where I was graduated, but where I changed the world (So, you are out there changing the world?). Some students said that when I grow up (graduated, the obscure Say), I will be like a violent storm, sweeping across a certain field (Once I grow up, I am going to take… by storm. ) Sometimes this is a joke or self-deprecating, but when we were young, we didn't have this kind of romance or this kind of impulse, but just thinking about how to adapt to the world. How desperate is the life of the voles and the ants? Just like what the movie said at the beginning, in the end, people will actually be buried by the loess and become food for insects. The life of this white horse is always an accident. Real life is only a necessity, but from today to tomorrow , Focusing only on material needs and without a spiritual home, we will stand in line among the gray majority, just like most people, "live a desperate life silently". If you see this sentence occasionally, please reflect on it. Are you living this kind of life now? If so, if you are dissatisfied, do you have to stand on the table and look at your life from a different angle, as the "Captain" teacher called for? The world may be different from what you usually see. When the teacher in the film teaches poetry, he skips most of the realist poetry and focuses on romantic poetry, such as Whitman's poems that permeate Changhong. For high school students who have nothing but hormones, there is actually nothing wrong with this, because how can you imagine that a teenager is so realistic that he doesn't even have a dream? There is such a breakthrough, there is an organization such as the Death Poetry Club, and it may be possible to avoid more problems by venting it. As for Neal's suicide, it has nothing to do with the teacher's teaching methods and training methods. A person with dreams can actually stay true to reality. I also disagree with the teacher's skipping of the realism part, because people can have both reality and dreams. This kind of talent is an expert, he has a giant figure, with his head in the clouds and his feet on the ground. Of course, education in reality, especially after the industrial revolution, tends to mold us into people who are in line with reality. Students are just products sent in, processed on an assembly line, and then sent out. This kind of education is not to allow us to transform the world, but to teach us to get used to being transformed by the world. The late comedian Carlin said that teaching people to be smart is not in the interests of American rulers. This is even more true in China. It is in the interests of those in power to teach people to be stupid and to only tick ABCD. Most of the time, a newcomer runs over, passionately trying to change the status quo. In the end, it is often assimilated or excluded, because most systems tend to maintain the status quo. People reject innovation in the mind, just as their body rejects new medicines. For most people with mediocre aptitudes, there is no way, only to shrink into the gray majority, and still be safe. If you are strong enough, You can change the world. If you are not enough, the world will generally transform you. Of course this is not necessarily a bad thing. It is the blessing of others as well as for a person who lacks the aptitude to stand on his own in this world, because mediocrity and passion will only equal tossing. Only when talents and passion are added together can there be positive changes. Don't think that it is the right way not to cross the thunder pond because of this movie. Anyone who has the ability to change is best to give it a try. Don't think that by following the rules and being "realistic", you will inherit the earth and get the world. Change is an adventure, but the time of tying you to the stake and burning to death is over. Now the people who really change the world, the real winners, are not the gray majority in the normal distribution, but those who are unwilling to live silently and desperately, and jump, stand on the table, and go People who see the world with another eye. Their name is Alien.
