The narrative rhythm breaks down, tossing back and forth between inspirational biography and critical society, and the director tries to capture both sides, but neither side succeeds.
Efforts and struggles have been downplayed. The struggle in the first half of the predicament did not show how hard work. The mother was arrested for drug rehabilitation. The heroine didn’t have to work or go to school. Bar.
The actress's acting skills are not distracting, except for the part where the mother was dragged to the hospital and shouted a little bit, other times when she encounters everything, her face is stiff, pay attention to being stiff, not numb, and there is no expression from the beginning to the end, The scene where my mother died was even more inexplicable. I ran inexplicably and suddenly stopped crying without any warning. Maybe the director felt that crying on the rooftop was more emotional. Wen Qing's self-motivated, crying or only thunder and no rain , and it ends with a close-up, at least a little flashback.
Struggling and hard work are split into two parts. The heroine begins to awaken and strive after her mother's funeral. This should have been the most uplifting and exciting part. The movie spends an hour describing how the heroine is struggling in life, but only It took less than half an hour to talk about hard work and success, but the story of knowledge changing life has turned into an affirmation of elite education and opportunism. The self-moving of elitism cannot reach the height of letting happiness knock on the door. There is no delicacy of miracle cram school.
Until the end, the heroine was still alive. At the end, the professor asked her, "If you could, would you?" The heroine's answer was still "Go back and restore my family".
Besides movies, the heroine didn't do much after graduation, but just used her story as a selling point everywhere. Although she was inspiring, she always felt weird. The heroine is a living example of her degree of numbness after changing her circumstances. If knowledge and hard work change the heroine's life, then the most successful thing in her life ends when she is admitted to Harvard, and it is just a purchase afterward. The story's constant indulgence in the process of the past.
