I watched "Wind and Rain Harvard Road" at night. Very old-fashioned plot, very old-fashioned story. If it weren't for my goal of one good movie a week, I wouldn't have the desire to watch it. The film tells the story of how a young girl who was born in a family of poverty, drugs and AIDS walked out step by step and entered Harvard University. After watching the movie, I lived up to the expectations of the creator of the movie, and I didn't feel much. I don't like politically correct movies, like 12 Years a Slave, this year's Oscar for the best picture, even if many professional film critics tell me how exquisite, unusual and worthy of Oscar's honor this movie is, I Still don't like it. A good movie should have surprises, subtle and thought-provoking places, not something that can be guessed at a glance. It is a pity that "Harvard Wind and Rain" did not live up to my guesses and did not exceed my expectations, , did not give me too many surprises. What amazes me is that Americans, who have always been serious about their work, actually play romanticism at the end of the movie, which is too fairy tale. I don't think we can just talk about facts for the sake of advocating hard work and being positive. This movie reminds me of a similar movie in China, "Carrying Dad to School". "Carrying Dad to School" tells the story of how a teenager in an old mountain area struggled to go to school. I don't have much impression of this movie now. I only remember that at the end of the movie, the director took care of the movie's title and made a close-up of the scene. The teenager went to school in the river with his sick father on his back. The sun rises in the east, the rays of the sun are shining, and the young and mature son and the old and disabled father melt into the red clouds, like a dream, like a fantasy, like a real or a fake. I think the director also has a lot of self-motivation. This inspirational film, which is said to be based on real events, was first seen in junior high school, as if it was a forced promotion by the education department. Therefore, at that time, the school stipulated that after watching the movie, write a review. The title I wrote at the time was Top Ambition. The teacher praised it after reading it. In fact, there was no real feeling at that time. Facing the environment that was 108,000 miles away from him and the shriveled and stubborn characters, in addition to feeling poor and feeling poor, there was no such thing as a high-spirited idea, but it was just to deal with the school. I don't know whether "Wind and Rain Harvard Road" has enjoyed similar treatment, and whether it has been promoted by American public school students to watch it. Of course, in comparison, "Wind and Rain Harvard Road" is still much better than "Carrying Dad to School", at least the plot is not so blunt, and the characters are not born strong and strong, and there is no turbulence in my heart. "Wind and Rain Harvard Road" is a little softer and more human. Although I wasn't very impressed, there were still small ones. I was moved by the protagonist's constant saying "I have always loved my mother, no matter when and where I have always loved her, although sometimes even she has forgotten, but I have always loved her", I I was moved by the fact that she did not want to turn herself into a fool and unknowingly slipped into depravity along with life; I was moved by the fact that she did not give up her dignity and lived in her grandfather's house; I was moved by the fact that she survived by herself while she was studying, and she was moved by the many impossible things in life. became possible. Also, there are a lot of heartwarming sentences in the movie lines. The characters' psychology is turbulent, the characters' language is inspiring enough, and the storyline is complete. "Wind and Rain Harvard Road" basically does it, though not quite so perfectly. Compared with the Chinese movies, the processing of many details is still rough and not meticulous. The environmental background of poor mountains and bad waters, the story of bitterness and tears, sudden growth and strength, and a happy ending. The story, in the end, still lacks a bit of the brilliance of humanity. However, the two The ending of the film, which seems to be successful, is all pale. The heroine of "Wind and Rain Harvard Road" spoke to the mother in heaven with a blank face to the camera; at the end of "Carrying Dad to School", the hero went to school after overcoming difficulties. Is that how they ended up? I don't think the director can answer it happily either.
