In the film, the word "choice" has been used throughout the film.
At the beginning, the students made things difficult for Johnson. She thought, and then faced the choice. She faced the choice and chose to leave? Or choose not to give up and continue to challenge? She chose to continue to challenge.
Johnson began to think of something. First use karate to restrain them, then use candy, playground... but it's still useless.
Later, Johnson thought of teaching the lyrics of Bob Dylan to his students, and infected these students with the unyielding spirit of Dylan's lyrics to the plight. She uses lyrics to encourage students, inspire them to think about their lives, and let them make their own choices. Choose to die, or choose to regain a better life. With her continuous encouragement, the students chose to identify and trust the teacher, to think, to change themselves, and to give themselves a new life. Just like the student in the film, Goli, she finally chose to go back to school and chose a better future for herself. Mi Lu, he finally chose to report the boy who was going to shoot him, but he was still killed, unfortunately. When faced with Mi Lu's death, Johnson felt powerless, and finally she decided to leave. Faced with the student's retention in class, she shed tears, and finally she chose to stay.
As the movie says: in life you are always faced with a choice, most of the time you have to choose between the two, sometimes like life and death... Choosing the right will be a different path, and choosing the wrong one will always be wrong. Go down.
This movie taught us—choice. How to choose your own life. How to choose to live more meaningfully. How to choose to give up or persist in adversity. How to illuminate one's bleak life.
