◎The film is adapted from the book of the same name co-authored by Brad Cohen and Lisa Vysocki. It mainly deduces the story of Brad, who suffers from Tourette Syndrome, overcomes the disease and strives to achieve his dream of becoming a teacher. ◎ Strange illness, lack of understanding and support from my father, ridicule from classmates, disapproval from society... It seems that a person's conditions for standing in society have been deprived. But fortunately, the protagonist and his mother still persist until they reach their goals. In order to find a school that is willing to accept him, he even circled the schools he has never been to on the map of the country, and then took the map and drove to... Finally, the future is bright. With his optimism about life and persistence in pursuing his dreams, he has become a teacher who is impossible in the eyes of people with Tourette syndrome. ☝︎The story has a big theme: chasing dreams. Around this, life, never give up, perseverance, inspiration, fearlessness, the power of love... This movie can be called a top-notch inspirational movie. - But it doesn't make people feel deliberate and exaggerated. It's like running 800 meters, just about to reach the end, but when the body is facing collapse, the sudden burst of cheers and cheers; or the dark eve of success, struggling on the edge of giving up, a light suddenly appeared in front. —— "Call Me No. 1" is just like that. It seems to have a kind of shouting encouragement, which is extremely infectious. Or guide or drag you, in the difficult world, keep the dream-seeking spirit of "ignorant but fearless" like a child. ?Popular science: The cause of Tourette's disease is the oversensitivity of dopamine in the basal ganglia and problems in the connection between the basal ganglia and the cerebral cortex, resulting in chronic, repetitive, semi-involuntary movements and convulsions on voice and speech . As a result, the patient often becomes uncontrollable with strange noises (such as barking or popping) and neck twitching. ✍︎✍︎ Children see the world look and adults are not the same they will say "I do" instead of "I can't do anything", so I also like this Say what I'm going to do' instead of 'I can't do it so I'm the same - Don't ever let anything affect your life.
