Phoenix needs to fly freely

Let me talk about the music.
I heard the OST of this movie by chance, and was attracted by the nostalgic jazz music in it. So I downed it and played MP3 for more than a year. Songs such as "Life could be a dream" and "shu boom" are really amazing. I can't get tired of listening, and I am very envious of the conservative era in the United States for having such good-to-listen music. Highly recommend OST! The eDonkey is down.

Let’s talk about the plot.
An art history teacher and her lovely students collide with each other from the beginning, to dare to challenge the pedantic avant-garde confrontation, and finally find their own way. The teacher also finds his own way. The plot is eloquent and relieved. Smooth, no suspense, because a teacher like Catherine is definitely not a thing in the pool, Phoenix needs to fly freely.

Betty, the most gifted, talented, self-confident and even conceited student, grew up under the mother’s extremely pedantic traditional education, and her clever brain instilled the feudal social patriarchal thoughts of "mother and child", even her husband had an affair. You must "endure" things like this. Seeing this makes me look around. At that time, there were such pedantic families in the United States to educate their children like this. I thought that we, who had been pedantic for two thousand years, were the "leaders". Sheep. However, in the United States nowadays, women’s thoughts and status are quite independent. Look around us. The difference from the feudal era is that the sedan chair was replaced by a car, the husband became a husband, and the house, hehe, this Betty was most angry. And the unreasonable mother taught her: The house is better than my own! So Chinese women flocked to them...

Betty passively and even deceived herself to choose the road her mother paved for her, went to a prestigious school, learned how to be a housewife, and even took a vacuum cleaner in her right hand and a book in her left hand. The signature moves "are also done very well, she is talented, but these farce are destroying her talent. Teacher Catherine is tolerant. From Betty’s editorial you can see the aura of this smart girl, but her thoughts were distorted by pedantic thoughts. She tried her best to prevent Betty from touching this wall... In the end she still only had her head growing. Only a bag can remember the lesson... In the end, when Teacher Catherine left, she was the first and only teacher who insisted on cycling for the longest time. She was the teacher who was most influenced by Teacher Catherine.

Gisele, oh, really pitiful Gisele, the divorce of her parents after the war gave her a heavy blow to her soul, and her feelings have been so fragile ever since. She likes Professor Bill. She is so infatuated, but Wang Xiang is ruthless. On Christmas Eve, Giselle, who was waiting for Professor Bill tremblingly in the cold wind, saw Professor Bill’s face without a trace of sullenness, only Jolin Tsai sang love, love, love... Just ask, such a pitiful one A woman, mature, sophisticated, childish and persistent, has a sexy voice, and has a seductive body. If I meet such a woman, it will still be Jolin Tsai's song love'love'love. Especially when Betty found her husband cheating, and hadn't touched her for many days, the anger, the constant jealousy of Gisele’s lover, and the horrible words came out like a steel knife. When Gisele, to be honest, I was very curious about Gisele’s reflection here. Betty was calling Gisele a bitch while Gisele was hiding and trying to avoid it, but when she walked to the door, she Turned around, opened her mother's warm embrace, comforting her heartbroken best friend. Betty tearfully said: We're done... Gisele just patted Betty sympathetically like petting a cat: yes, I know. What a "I Know". The bitch is different from the saint because of this "I Know". I had a very vulgar idea that when Betty scolded her, she would scold Betty harshly and pick out Betty’s husband to be a woman in public— -Many Hong Kong and Taiwan movies have such curse plots, which are actually very popular with mainland audiences.

Thinking about it now, people have found their own behavior patterns in Hong Kong and Taiwan movies, and of course they are interested. It’s just that Gisele’s generosity, tolerance, kindness and cherishment of friendship really shocked me! ps: I personally like this actor, Batman's girlfriend, she has been acting as a connotative and flavorful woman, and she is indeed in place.

Connie, hehe, speaking of this fat girl with artistic temperament, I also think she is very interesting. She is the simplest, most indifferent, and dumbest among several good friends, but she is the first to find her own happiness. Although Betty's careless words hurt her fragile heart yearning for love at first, she still found her own prince charming-Charlie wearing glasses. Then he estranged poor Charlie because of Betty’s rumors. After learning the truth, he recklessly rushed to the boys’ dormitory to confess his true love... What can I say, such a cute girl, she shouldn’t get true love Who should?

Joan, a very rational and steady girl. Teacher Catherine discovered her talent to encourage her to go to Yale, but she didn’t dare to think about it. In the end, she was accepted, but she still chose to be a housewife. I am a little unacceptable, but this is Qiong An's own choice. Her values ​​are family higher than career and even self. This may be a living example of the helpless but rational choice of modern intellectual women. Many girls are not lacking talents, but are willing to sacrifice their talents in exchange for more happiness. Teacher Catherine and I both think that fish and bear paws can be taken care of (Ican do both!), but the choice is not made by us. The psychology of the parties is clearest. To put it aside, I hope that the female friends who have families around me are really happy.

Finally, let me talk about Teacher Catherine, a teacher like her, hey, if I can meet one in my ten-year study career... I would rather miss more than ten years of study. She wanted to make a difference with a deep-seated concept, but the too pedantic tradition of Wesleyan College restrained her and even suppressed her (the so-called "committee"). The situation in her first class was simply a typical Chinese style. The on-site record of quality education, what was asked, what was said in the textbook, the answers were fluent, copied intact, completely without her own thinking, her own opinions, and her own analysis. At that time, Catherine was shocked by such a duck-filling scene, but this It further inspired her determination to try to change all of this, so, "painting her own Van Gogh flower", "watching a postmodernist mural in silence" these even now I think Catherine's way of education is unparalleled—— I hope my descendants will have such a blessing to attend such a class. No wonder teacher Catherine has the highest number of elective courses, and a teacher like her is a treasure. Speaking of her feelings, I don’t think it’s not necessarily because of her artistic temperament that she has no sense of belonging and wandering emotions, but because she is a phoenix herself and needs to fly freely in the sky, overlooking this kitsch land openly. What can make her stop is not so much a man, as those talented students, as a teacher, she is really perfect, personally, technically, both.

It’s been a serious spoiler for a long time. Now it’s time to talk about actors. Sister Dazui has always received less vase roles. Of course, the price of vase roles is generally not as expensive as 20 million US dollars. Ha, Dazui’s role is very well performed. The embarrassment and surprise in the first class, to the tolerance and understanding of the teacher Nancy who lives with him, to the sympathy for the innocent resignation of Teacher Amanda, to the hesitation, perseverance, and determination with the former man, to the passion with Professor Bill , Sullen, to the support and blessings for Qiong An to become a housewife... I can only say that Big Mouth sister's acting skills are really worth the investment of 20 million, I don't know how much she finally got. And this film also changed my preconceptions about Big Mouth Sister-ugly and expensive. It seems that I am the villain, haha.

Christina Dunst, this American sweet girl who looks like a cat, has once again seriously killed the eyeballs with the standard fascinating dimples. As a young actor, her performance is also remarkable. It can be said that she is quite unexpected. My acting Spider-Man, that vase girlfriend is really ruined, Xiao Nizi has a boundless future!

Maggie Gyllenhaal who plays Gisele, to be honest, I think she seems to be a little older to play this role, but her performance proves that the sad role of Gisele is none other than her, a thick woman. I can smell the scent of roses on her body, and the pitiful look in her eyes, hey, fatherly love is beginning to overflow!

Finally, for the first time, I feel that the US has surpassed France in the production of literary and artistic films. Although it still feels a bit faster than French literary films, it is still worth savoring.
