Hello! Nice to meet you

The encounter with "Street Diary" was purely accidental. In the middle of a night of thunder and storm, I opened this movie released in 2007. It took 14 years for me to meet it. Only good things It is never too late to meet.
They in the true story

Dreams make people sparkle

The movie originated from a real story change. The heroine Irene is a female teacher with dreams. When she was young, her father told him about the civil rights movement. She wanted to study law with passion, but she thought of standing in the court for her It was too late when they defended; the real help should be at school, and when nothing happens, they educate the children to be truly honest and kind.

Sparkling man

So Irene came to class 203 and became the teacher of this group of students. She specially chose this racially integrated school. In the context of racial discrimination at the time, choosing this school was tantamount to choosing trouble. The class she led is the so-called poor class, the kind of school where no one can be admitted to the university at its own discretion. It is a big trouble in the eyes of others.

On the first day of school, the details of rubbing chalk dust on the skirt because of nervousness were well received. With full of enthusiasm and dreams, she faced a group of extremely chaotic students. The atmosphere in the classroom seemed to be a time bomb that would be detonated at any time. The first time she faced such a scene, she was helpless. This It's not the same as she imagined.

She didn't know that some of the students in the classroom exhausted all their energy just by surviving. In this world, the joys and sorrows are not interlinked, and the destiny is even more different. You only see me wearing a weapon, but you don't know what injuries I have suffered.

Watchful eyes

But she did not escape, instead used all her energy to understand each of her students, to listen to them, to understand them, and to make them feel valued and cared for. Thanks to Irene’s efforts, a group of teenagers who could not see the future gradually grew into people with compassion and a sense of social responsibility. The children’s diary full of heartfelt words became the last street diary, and many people became the first in the family. People who have gone to college.

In fact, in the middle of the movie, I was scared when I saw students lose their guns. If there is street violence, how can they protect themselves; I was scared when I saw the girl choose to testify against her fellow tribe for the justice of the law. I don't think she can survive. After all, Irene only changed the minds of the students in Class 203, and the whole environment has not changed. Racial discrimination is still pressing on them like a huge mountain.

But when I saw this boy return to his mother, when I saw a reconciliation between classmates, when I rediscovered that they were all fourteen or five-year-old children, they were tears that I couldn't control.

I need you

reconciliation

You can’t imagine that 203, which was once full of violence, will become a home for students. Here, blacks and whites can be friends, and everyone can make friends with people of other races. The hatred in society is rooted in the heart. This can be eliminated. Maybe Irene has no way to change everyone, but the people in this class who work hard to change this class are already admirable.

Is also innocent and beautiful

She can do what ordinary people can't do, and the hard work behind her can't be done by ordinary people. In order to buy books for the students, she took on several part-time jobs outside of class. She spent too much time on the children and caused her husband to divorce him. She would not let them down if the children wanted what she wanted. Such a teacher is How many people can't ask for it.

She is a person with faith and hope. For a person like her, as long as she wants to do anything, she will definitely do it; for a person like her, her dream is not what she thinks in her dream, but a step-by-step realization of tomorrow.

Never give yourself zero points

In contrast, her husband has too many impossible, impossible racial equality problems, impossible problems that cannot be changed. Teenagers, impossible to be architects... Sadly, many of us are with him. Like my husband, he didn’t believe he could do it, so he chose to give up early.

Irene’s father said to her: I can’t describe everything you have done. I am proud of you. Few fathers in the world have this kind of experience. My father’s words speak to my heart. I am moved by such a noble teacher in this world. I want to say that she is the hero in my heart.

Life makes dreams more real

In Irene's life, there are only two family members, one is the father and the other is the husband. When she decided to start such a job, it was obvious that Irene's husband supported her at the beginning, but her father did not.

In the end, her husband gave up and divorced her, and the father supported his daughter time and time again in his actions. It was not that the husband did not love him, but that the world could love you unconditionally. The only people who support you are your parents. For other people, what you have to give is what you want, after all, not everyone is a saint!

From the initial sweet love to the later parting ways, the communication between lovers and the three views are very important. Communication determines whether you can be together, and the three views determine whether you can be together for a long time.

Only when you meet the right person is each other's achievement; everyone else is a passing scenery, no matter good or bad, just leave him behind.

goodbye
