There is no doubt that the movie is about education. The script is also based on well-known novelists, which I don’t like. I always feel that there are better ideas. For example, in order to reflect "Nothing Less", the second half of the movie is stuck in the pit of finding out-of-school students. Moving bricks on the construction site and finding people on the radio station made me disgusted by these bridge sections and didn't show me any sincerity. The story is very small, single-line narrative, funding issues outside of education, teachers' problems, students' problems of not being able to go to school, and parents' weak awareness of education. It seems that Venice's awards are more about watching the leopard and knowing the many problems of Chinese education. Of course, the movie itself has no major problems, but there is nothing remarkable. The biggest advantage is the simplicity. I don't know if it is my age or the coldness tortured by reality. I was not moved by the movie.
