But is it really so?
This fat child who was always bullied when he was a child was abandoned by his mother shortly after he was born, and he has never seen his biological mother so far. His father re-established the family and is also a happy family of three. He grew up with his grandparents, and his grandmother always taught him: Grandma and grandpa are old and have no money. If you are bullied outside, just bear with it, and don't make trouble. Children are scary creatures sometimes. I remember his arm was bruised by the best boy in the class. I also remember when he was in the front row of me, my bully at the same table with his tablemate. It was a pleasure to stab him with the refill, but he never said a word at that time.
I think the title of the movie Walk with Me may refer to the company of childhood friends. In fact, the parents are also expressly or implied in the film that they are negligent in the process of their children's growth and do not accompany their children. Wayne's mother packed the house and lost his treasure map because she doesn't value a child's treasure, there's no respect in it. Gordy's parents go abroad the most, and they don't realize the shadow of inferiority left by indifference in their children's hearts. The scene at the end where Gordy frolics with his sons is so touching, and I think he must have kept telling himself in his heart that if I had kids, I wouldn't treat him the way my parents treated me.
Yes, I keep telling myself these words. After I met my current boyfriend, I have always envied his family. His parents told me that they never had a fight in front of him. My boyfriend is very sunny, very gentle, and the best man I have ever met. It was only after I met him that I realized that a large part of my irritability, depression, and surly were influenced by the constant quarrels and even fights of my parents. After that, the most thing I said to myself was, be a good-natured, patient girl, I don't want my children to be like me.
Many of my friends and I talked about the things that our parents did when we were growing up that we can’t let go of. The answers vary widely, but the questions reflected are actually similar. Parents ignore a lot of our inner feelings. Take me, I once asked My mother, have you ever thought about how I felt when she and my father fought with swords at home on the New Year's Eve? My mother was stunned and said, but you were still young at that time.
So should we grow up with our peer teachers?
In the film, when Chris mentioned stealing milk money, he talked about the role of the teacher in that incident. In the era of Chinese students, it may not be common for teachers to have such exaggerated behavior, but they really care about our teachers. I think Luckily for me, I can think of at least one person, and I've talked to a lot of people about this topic, and they all say none.
I still remember a time when I couldn't bear to watch the same table bullying this fat kid, and ran to the head teacher to complain. The class teacher who came to teach us in the fifth grade didn’t like me. I had good grades at that time, and my specialty was writing. The class teacher called my parents many times to come to the school to inform us about various composition competitions. My honest mother never understood. What the teacher said, and then the teacher got tired and caught me fighting and other bad behavior and called the parents to lecture me. My upright mother still didn't understand the deep meaning that the teacher wanted to express. So I was completely abandoned. A lot of opportunities that belonged to me were given to others. Because of a small mistake, I was transferred to the back row to sit with the little bully of the grade. He even advised everyone to ignore some bad boys in the class at a class meeting, including me and others. The reason of the isolated child is poor study, love to fight, etc. What is the reason for my being isolated? I think about it, by the way, it is arrogance and disrespectful.
This fat kid told me that he decided to take the entrance exam to become a teacher and read a lot of education-related books. He said that the foundation of education should be love. I asked him, do you think the head teacher in the fifth grade of elementary school loved you? He said he didn't know. I said okay, if the teacher is willing to give even a little love to the students, the behavior of bullying your child will be corrected by being stopped, educated and corrected again and again. The teacher has the intention to isolate the so-called bad kids in the class meeting, telling everyone not to play with them, and also has no intention to tell everyone that we should be kind to others.
We also talked about the math teacher of that year. She was an unfortunate middle-aged woman. Her husband passed away very early. She was very irritable. Countless wooden rulers were interrupted by her. I told the fat child, I still clearly remember that once when she hit a child who always failed the exam, the ruler was interrupted, the child was beaten to the ground and cried, and she kicked the child hard and said: "If I Your mother killed you already. The fat kid was surprised that I remembered this kind of thing so deeply. How could I forget, the horrified and painful expression of the child who was beaten to the ground, the vicious eyes and actions of the female teacher, I still remember that violent scene, for children under the age of twelve, Whether it is the abuser or the forced to watch, it is a deep injury.
Afterwards, I kept studying hard and was admitted to another key high school instead of going straight to the junior high school of my school. Of course, it is not a paradise, the pressure on teachers is even greater, and there are more things that hurt students. I don't want to criticize the education system, it's a fact that everyone knows. However, most of our generation did lack the guidance and support of teachers in their growth. We may think that we are not alone, but in fact, if teachers are willing to understand us and walk with us in our growth, maybe we will all be better than now. . Just like the ending of Teddy and Wayne explained at the end of the film, these two children who were not precocious enough and not thoughtful enough, ended up being very mediocre. But maybe they can have a better life with the guidance of their teachers and parents.
Finally, let me mention my 12-year-old friendship, with this fat boy. I have made many close friends in my later life, but when I look back on my childhood, I know that he is still different from other friends.
This isn't really a movie review, it's just that this movie reminds me of my school days.
