      The title has a total of fifteen characters, if you don't believe me, count them

      After watching the movie, I deliberately went to Baidu to read the prototype of the movie "Genius Gunner" - the sensational cheating case in the Asian exam room in 2014. This cheating case is not just about individuals, but about training institutions that use the prototype of real exam questions as a gimmick to hold expensive training courses to recruit students for profit.

      "Genius Gunner" is based on a case as a prototype to tell the story of a genius scholar who uses cheating in a...

      The little thing about "getting out of the cat"

      The movie-watching groups who are spoiled with ready-to-wear by the Hollywood movies that dominate the world are often overwhelmed when faced with Southeast Asian film productions such as "Genius Gunner". Part of this dazed state of mind comes from the incompatibility with the unconventional play itself, and the other part comes from the difficulty of substituting the consistent honest style of Thai movies. The former is a process of breaking the psychological safety zone, while the latter is...

      Disappointed

      This movie seems to be a clear stream when the theater is in the recent downturn. It has more than 8 points and is even catching up with invisible guests. So with anticipation and excitement, it was difficult to buy tickets when it was still full two weeks after the release, and sat in the theater to watch it all the way. Come down, two hours is embarrassing.
      This is a drama about Xueba helping people to cheat in exams to win a win-win situation. Since cheating in international exams is a...

      Some teenagers, never belong to the light

      In the past two months, as long as it is a film with good reputation, it will basically go to the cinema, such as "Wolf Warrior 2", "Manchester by the Sea", "The Return of Spider-Man", "Dunkirk", and "The Invisible Guest" (this one). In fact, I watched it at station B a few months ago. I didn’t expect it to be released in China at that time. Later, when I learned the truth, I regretted it so much that I rushed to the cinema to watch it again). And some that could not be...

      "Genius Gunner": Students who have never cheated, please raise your hand

      I have only watched very few Thai movies, and I remember them all being young and fresh teenage romances, as well as the particularly ugly dubbing TV series "Huanzhugege". "Genius Gunner" refreshed my view of Thai movies, and found that this corner of Southeast Asia, a country famous for its advertising creativity and fashion, still has excellent directors and screenwriters.

      The title of the film reveals what the film is about, and it tells the story of two high school top students...

      In fact, it is also considered a "prison break" in another sense. The male protagonist does study well, but he cannot be called a "smart person". All in all, it's all talent. I don't believe that such a child, especially the heroine, will not be able to get through the solidified class, and will always be at the bottom of the social pyramid. Narratively, the editing seems to be fancy and sharp, but in fact the rhythm is very slow. In addition, the test room uploads only shoes and only rubber,...

    Evaluation action

    "Bad Genius" is a movie that everyone who has gone through the exam can resonate. In addition to filming the common memories of studying and taking exams in the student days, it also breaks the impression of Xiaoqing Xiaoai in the previous campus movies, and photographs the uniqueness of each person under the examination system. Among them, "we choose the university, not the university choose us". Scream with passion for the students...
