Teachers are engineers of the human soul, and they have the power to shape the souls of children.
Because of this power, they also have the ability to bring nightmares to children.
Today's film is dark, humorous, and sharp.
The most attractive part of Czech movies, this movie has-
"The Female Teacher"
The film is based on a sad true event:
Czechoslovakia in 1983, a national elementary school on the outskirts of Bratislava.
Damari, a female teacher, relied on her power to humiliate her students, manipulated parents with school performance and grades, and demanded that they serve her personal interests.
In the end, a student attempted suicide, which caused parents to sign the expulsion of the unethical teacher Damai.
In the new semester, a female teacher in a floral dress walked into the classroom, and everyone thought she was just an ordinary elementary school teacher.
Everything went very routine, with the only exception, she questioned every student's parent's occupation in detail.
The development of the plot gradually exposes the true face of the female teacher.
Parents who take the initiative to take on the roles of female teachers, domestic servants and repairmen can get their children "instructions" from female teachers, while refusing to take on these jobs will be ruthlessly retaliated by female teachers.
The female teacher received the parents, from gossip to bossy, demanding to satisfy her personal desires, from implicit expression to blatant, until hysterical.
This dramatic evolution, the words, the expressions, the gestures, it's really wonderful.
While telling the unscrupulous behavior of female teachers, the video starts the debate among parents at the joint signing meeting.
The scene of the joint signing conference - the parents' debate conference is getting more and more intense.
Parents of students who committed suicide, fathers who resisted the evil deeds of female teachers, the number of parents who signed up was pitiful.
There are quite a few parents who oppose the joint signature.
They took the initiative to undertake the housework of the female teacher, and their children were "instructed" by the female teacher.
As vested interests, they protect the evil deeds of female teachers together:
"There's nothing wrong with helping Teacher Lian, you can't blame the teacher because Danka (suicidal student) collapsed."
"Teachers are role models for teachers"
"It's because your children don't work hard. Although my son was suppressed, he worked hard and came up later."
Most people choose to be silent, they wait for the change, and choose the dominant camp.
The various disputes at the joint signing conference showed the appearance of all beings caused by class differences.
The rich have more social resources, can provide more services for female teachers, and their children get more guidance.
On the contrary, the poor, the middle class chooses to be silent.
In addition, the female teacher, Mary Lin, has a background of her own—the president of the school, her deceased husband was an official, and her sister held an important position in Moscow.
The background is very deep, and even the principal who initiated the joint signature is very afraid - maybe he will be taken off his hat.
In such a complex environment, children are also caught in the bad atmosphere of the adult world.
The students who were "instructed" concealed the facts, and the students who were retaliated against became the targets of bullying.
Danka, a student who committed suicide, was once instructed and was "abandoned" at one point. In a fit of rage, he accused a girl in front of the whole class, saying that her good grades were due to the teacher's instructions.
On the surface, it seems to be a whistleblower, but in fact it is resentment at the loss of special preferential treatment.
In the cafeteria, the boys in the same class squeezed Danka, pushed her out of the team, and insulted her. The scene was no less than the school bullying in Japan and South Korea.
Unbalanced distribution of resources, injustice and disorder will greatly stimulate the evil of human nature.
Even though Teacher Mary was so arrogant, parents obeyed her orders one after another, and even became accomplices, which was inseparable from the social background at that time.
In 1983, the Soviet Union was on the eve of its disintegration, with corrupt politics and a prevailing bureaucracy, and the Czech Republic was also in the game.
The farce caused by this class is not a microcosm of the society at that time.
The superb acting skills of the female teacher, Suzanne Morali, are undoubtedly one of the highlights of the movie.
She can tell stories amiably, but she can turn into a roar in seconds, followed by a rainy fist, a hysterical roar. Exaggerated expression and behavior, the interpretation of arrogance and shamelessness is daunting!
The eyes that look at people are sometimes meaningful, sometimes cold, and sometimes oppressive.
The smile was full of hypocrisy.
Especially when dealing with prey, it is like a cheetah that is about to come out, its eyes are shining, and its limbs are ready to rush.
The suspense of the film is also very exciting.
The father of the transfer student went back and forth, and finally turned from a silent watcher to a firm signer. What is the reason?
It turned out that one day, this tall and deep-tempered father suddenly crashed into the heart of the female teacher and became the object of her dreams and bound to conquer.
After knowing the true face of the female teacher, the father refused to blend and chose justice.
This delightful form is quite similar to the classic "return drama" "Twelve Angry Men".
The most amazing thing is the ending.
The expelled female teacher, Lian Marie, eventually moved to another school without being punished.
The new semester has begun, and she is still wearing a floral dress, and she walks into the classroom with a harmless face.
Everything was so calm and routine. After introducing herself, she began to call out—
"Next, the classmates whose names are called, please stand up and talk about your parents' occupations."
At this point, the chills all over my body stand up.
If I hadn't grown up, I wouldn't let any exceptions be reversed, otherwise the three views would be destroyed.
This teacher is not only poisonous, but also cold to the bone.
