too left

To be honest, there are still many bright spots in the description of ben's education in the whole film, whether it is physical training, survival training, debate, or expressing opinions (if you can't say a book about Ying Biao Si Ting, you must describe it accurately), but watch it. In the middle of the film, when the father wanted to verify the knowledge of the children, he asked the youngest Guliang Zaj to understand the Bill of rights. Zaj said that without this bill, the United States would be like China, and his heart was disgusted.

The film also criticized Ben slightly. The eldest son said that all I have learned is knowledge, and it is all knowledge written in books. However, when the RV left, the mother and daughter waved with smiles in their eyes, which was actually an appreciation for the eldest son's solemn desire to marry and have children after the first kiss in his life.

The eldest son took the admission letter from Yale and Harvard, which seemed to be a testament to the correctness of Ben's education and cattle B, although Ben still despised these secular educations. And at the end of the film, the eldest son chose to go to Africa instead of going to school.

The left side of the film is too powerful, and the opposite real world in the depiction is full of consumerism, lies, ideological slavery, etc., of course, to highlight the dramatic conflict.

It's not very cool to watch.

    Generally speaking, this kind of utopian theme and small fresh style plus an emotional card can basically get the false high evaluation of most audiences.

    Whether it is the texture of the poster or the style of the film, it is easy for people to have rich associations, such as "Moonrise Kingdom", "The Great Fox Dad", "Summer King". What impresses me the most is that the film has completed a very vivid and full storytelling from the construction of the paradise - on the verge of collapse - to the restoration. In this casual, wild, gentle and somewhat sad narrative process, the children grow up, and the father is reborn
