It's Ryan Gosling again, a degenerate teacher.
Once an idealist plunges into reality, he will find how incompatible
he is with his surroundings. His ex-gf said, some people changed, but he is sure, not me, I'm still an asshole.
His family is talking about some actors, some stars, they dance, they are happy, but they don't have his share, he doesn't want to cater to others to change himself, he prefers to go to the wine cellar to take drugs.
He talks about conflicts in history class , Talking about the state apparatus, let the students recite a large amount of contradictory history. However, his principal told him that he should follow the text.
He is writing a children's book about dialectics, but what people ask him is about novels or fairy tales, no one Understand.
His colleague saw a copy of "Che Guevara in Africa" ​​on his bookshelf and asked him if he was a communist. I guess he must be very depressed at the time, even though they were all teachers, even though they had sex, they
His thoughts are not on the same level. It is so sad. He doesn't eat lunch with other teachers. I think it must be because of the bald hypocrisy, reading random comments in the newspaper, and walking to him and saying he wants to help.
He The drug was probably taken for anesthesia. He tried to change the world, but found that he was just a grain of dust in the universe. He could not change or even adapt.
He had no friends, so he could only go to the bar and find some party girls to talk to him. Thoughts, but no one understands that they are not his friends after all, and where are his friends? Frenk told us that addicts have no friends.
He likes children and likes to teach them his values ​​and theories, but children can understand How much. He is still tired of days when there is no hope and no future day after day.
He is only 30 years old, but he describes withered, shaggy beard, and always in a half-dream and half-awake state.
He finally has someone who can understand him, that is his student. They stand at the same fork, they redeem each other.
