The film follows a man with Tourette Syndrome who successfully becomes an elementary school teacher—the most unlikely profession he seems likely to pursue. So there is no doubt that this is an inspirational film, and a film based on a real story always works better, otherwise it is inevitable to think "it's just a story after all".
Brad is fortunate to have a mother who never gives up. More importantly, she imparts an optimistic and positive attitude to her son. She also knows how to make the right decision for her son, not like other mothers of patients who think that they should keep their children close At home or in a special school is the best way to keep them out of harm's way—depending on the situation, of course.
Another turning point was that among a group of teachers who had always believed that letting their parents take him away was the best choice for the school, in the process of constant transfer, Brad finally met a different principal, the one who made him make up his mind. To be the principal of a good teacher.
And, after numerous failed interviews, he finally met a school that was willing to hire him, and there was a human element to it - there was a principal who was more compassionate and understanding of him willing to give him a chance, but there were all sorts of other coincidences .
Of course, there is also himself, who is not defeated by all the setbacks and embarrassment. Even if there is a brief depression and collapse, he can always tell himself to keep going.
In fact, it is extremely difficult to achieve all of the above conditions. If any link goes wrong, there may be no future. I think back to my student days. Teachers were all responsible, but they all seemed to like obedient students with good grades, dislike naughty and bad grades, and there were very few teachers who really loved them. Grades were related to them. performance! Some teachers even warn high-achieving students not to associate with low-achieving students, which I know because I have been "fortunate" to receive such warnings myself. If there was a student like Brad in the class, I think the schools I went to would probably have made the same decision as most of the people in the movie, dismissed. Even if Brad is fortunate enough to graduate from college and wants to find a job as an elementary school teacher, his hope may be extremely slim. After all, the reality is there. After all, being a teacher is a good job, and every school personnel department may have one. Lots of gorgeous resumes. rural teacher? Maybe. However, in our country, reports about rural teachers are always so sad, so this story may not be an inspirational story.
It seems frustrating to think about it, and those exciting stories always seem so hard to replicate because you have no way of determining the external circumstances. But at least one thing can be decided by oneself, that is, never give up on oneself. And when we, as a factor in the external environment of some people, have more kindness and more understanding, we may be able to illuminate a person's life and dreams, why not do it.
