This movie doesn't appeal to me

The complicated imagination theory makes this movie more difficult to understand, but it is actually a very simple plot. Friends who like this movie must have their reasons, but what I want to say is that the imaginative theory of imagination is actually nothing to do with blind thinking. There is so much difference to understand and defend these imaginations that it is not very useful or good to think that they are smarter than those who do not understand or don't care. The original purpose of the film is to please the public and make the public It's easy to resonate. On this point, this movie.... pretty much a failure, because it is estimated that most people can't get joy or resonance from it.

[Pommeroy is reading to the class from the 1954 short story "The Destructors" by Graham Greene]
Karen Pommeroy: "There would be headlines in the papers. Even the grown-up gangs who ran the betting at the all-in wrestling and the Barrow Boys would hear with respect of how Old Misery's house had been destroyed. It was as though this plan had been with him all his life, pondered through the seasons, now in his 15th year crystallized with the pain of puberty." What is Graham Greene trying to communicate with this passage? Why did the children break into Old Misery's House? Joanie?
Joanie James: They wanted to rob him.
Karen Pommeroy: Joanie, if you had actually read the short story, which, at a whopping 13 pages, would have kept you up all night, you would know that the children find a great deal of money in the mattress, but they burn it.

Gretchen: Um, where do I sit?
Karen Pommeroy: Sit next to the boy you think is the cutest.

Karen Pommeroy: Quiet! Let her choose.
