- Wittgenstein
felt a little bit when he saw this film.
Michael Oher, deep autism, unhappy childhood, loneliness under the fence, over-consciousness of self-protection. He is afraid of strangers, he tries to communicate with strangers, like he used to say hello to two innocent little girls. The little girl ran away in panic, and then he learned the bad news of her father's death. You can't see any waves from his face, you can't penetrate his heart.
After so many plots, what I want to say is that I found in him what I have in common with him, rejection of strangers, and a strong sense of self-protection. Self-preservation, whether from a tragic childhood or an inferiority complex, can hurt those who try to touch like a hedgehog's thorns. There was an article before that parents of traditional Chinese families like to belittle their children in front of others and praise other people's children, and when their family is not as good as others, the seeds of inferiority have been planted. People with low self-esteem may grow into two types. One is that they look lively, outgoing, cheerful and talkative, but their hearts are closed. Others can chat and laugh together but do not communicate their hearts with others; the other is taciturn and self-closed, and others cannot step in Half a step in his life. I don't like talking to strangers, I'm always afraid of getting hurt; I don't like opening my heart, it will be a tearing pain; I have been walking the path my parents pointed out since I was a child, and my thoughts are always suppressed in the bottom of my heart. its struggling.
I don't know what it feels like to be surrounded by others, but when I saw Michael quietly sitting at the dinner table eating bread on Thanksgiving, I remembered a word from a girl in "Distance", "It's worse to live in this way, I think it's worse to live with others. Being together and living alone is worse than being alone in one place." This seems to be the same as what the furthest distance in the world has to say. Fortunately Mrs Tuohy is very attentive and kind, I think it can be attributed to her being an interior designer, or that she is a mother.
Michael's experience has been extraordinary and lucky. Children with autism or low self-esteem, as SJ said, try to smile, not only smile to others, let others know that you are a friend, but also smile to life, so that you will not be abandoned by life.
There are two very moving lines at the end, one is "the past is gone, the world is a good place, and it's all gonna be ok" that Michael's mother said to him after the bad thing; one is "Mrs Tuohy" It's your life, it's your decision".
When I saw football scholarships, I was suddenly interested in the American education system and democracy. Liu Yu posed a question in "Details of Democracy": Suppose you are from Mars and are suddenly thrown into China, you may be thrown into a big city like Beijing, or you may be thrown into an inland province like Henan, or even thrown into frontier areas like Tibet. Unfortunately, the mission you were thrown into China was to go to middle school and then the college entrance examination. Of course, if you want to go to a school like Peking University and Tsinghua University, you definitely want to be thrown into Beijing, because the learning conditions there are good and the grades are low. But the problem is, your odds of being thrown in all three places are exactly the same, one in three each. At this time, let you design an ideal college entrance examination score system, how would you design it?
This hypothetical situation is the invention of Rawls, who has a term called the "veil of ignorance". The ambiguity of "affirmative action" in the United States is to neutralize "procedural justice" and "compensatory justice", taking into account individual abilities and integrating historical, cultural and economic factors. The pure fairness of procedural justice, Natsume Soseki satirized in the tone of a cat in "I Am a Cat": the so-called fairness concept derived from egoism by human beings may be better than our cat family
... The score line question, an answer that reflects the status quo, that is, the score line in Beijing and Shanghai is lower, and the score line in the other two places is the same. What Liu Yu subtly called "the principle that summer is always hot" is also a principle with Chinese characteristics.
Five stars, one for the beautiful Collins :)
