1. Question:
1. Where does this practice of female teachers come from?
1983 and 1984 appear on the blackboard of the title. This is the era of Big Brother. Although Brezhnev is dead, corruption is prevalent, and those who are exposed rarely lose their jobs, because the supreme leader himself is a corrupt person—— This is what Yeltsin said. People no longer believe in institutions, but more in all kinds of social relations. All problems can be solved by relations, ranging from grocery shopping to coup d'etat. So female teachers feel at ease and use the various relationships that they can get in touch with—a bit like the present.
2. Is it correct for you to help me and I help you?
In a small area such as family and circle of friends, it is of course correct, but it is wrong to expand to society. Because helping others requires resources, social resources are not evenly distributed, and there will always be some people who cannot help you, which will cause inequality. The accountant in the film couldn't help even if he wanted to, and in the end he could only eat the cake in grievance and anger.
3. Why do lawyers and doctors stand on the side of female teachers?
Resource ownership is different. People with ten apples in their hands don't care at all, and people at the top of the society know the importance of mutual utilization of resources. Only by forming a community can they more firmly defend their own interests. They are actually very happy to see that other people's children are not as good as their own. For example, the lawyer said that gymnastics girls are stupid.
4. Why did the parents come back quietly at the end?
Herd mentality. At that time, there were too few people who opposed it, and they were all from the bottom of the society. Most of the middle class did not want to stand on the opposite side of the upper class, so they walked away against their will, but thinking about the future of their children - the vice principal confirmed with data that this is an absolute Rotten class - sneaked back again. Therefore, the group will often do stupid things, and the individual will make the right choice. Collective intelligence is a false proposition most of the time.
5. What did the female teacher do wrong?
Abuse of power, exchanging power for everything one needs, without considering the feelings of others. In fact, you should do everything you can do yourself, and don't abuse your power or favor. When you really need help from others, you should also consider whether others are in trouble. It is the villain who easily asks for help, but it is the villain who feels that others must help you and takes revenge without helping.
6. What should parents do in the face of this kind of teacher?
If you don't want your child to become a villain who is sullen, you can send an initiative in the home-school group - all parents, children and teachers to watch this movie together - but be prepared to be kicked out of the group.
2. Metaphors:
1. Shoes: Represent your position. You can change clothes and hairstyles, but not shoes. At the end of the film, 1991 and 1992 are the time when the Soviet Union disintegrated and the Czech Republic and Slovakia were peacefully separated. A new era has arrived, but the female teacher changed the podium and still asked the same thing and did the same thing.
2. Female teacher: The big brother of the Soviet Union, with the backing of a gun, is full of confidence in everything, even bad things.
3. Principal and vice-principal: The puppet government under the sway of the big brother wants to drive the big brother away, but is worried that his status will not be guaranteed. The Prague Spring of 1968 led to the Soviet invasion, which brought Dubcek to the Soviet Union for interrogation, and expelled Milan Kundera and others.
4. Parents: the general public. Without the support of the masses, the rulers would not have the courage and capital to oppose Big Brother. The masses are divided into three classes: the upper, middle and lower classes. The upper classes form alliances to oppress the middle and lower classes.
5. Students resisted teachers, and the school teamed up with parents to drive away female teachers: Czechoslovakia resisted Soviet oppression and finally won.
