More interesting than the story itself is the metaphor behind it, the dark boarding school symbolizes the system of some power, and the (school staff) who are committed to it are either complicit or (students) or living in secret, thereby making the power stronger, And the weak are weaker. Even if he is disgusted by the female teacher, he can only choose to escape in the end. Elmer, the younger brother who wants to be an astronaut, is obviously an outlier among them. Living in the dark, he not only has dreams, but what is even more rare is that he has the courage to pursue his dreams. The only way is not to surrender, but to have the courage to fight. It was the resistance of him and his brother Eric that infected other friends, and finally raised their hands to expose the atrocities of the principal, as if we could vaguely see a glimmer of light in the dark night.
Maybe real life is darker and more helpless than movie stories, but what we should never give up is the pursuit of light. Remember Mandela's famous quote? "If the sky is dark, then live in the dark; if it is dangerous to make a sound, then keep silent; if you feel powerless to shine, then crouch in the corner. But don't get used to the darkness and defend the darkness; don't justify yourself And be proud; don't mock those who are braver and more enthusiastic than yourself. We may be humble as dust, not twisted as maggots."
