Maybe it's because I drank two cups of coffee. I was so excited when I watched it, I felt like my heart was about to jump out. When I looked at my heartbeat, it was usually fifty or sixty, but it suddenly soared to more than 100. My body and emotions are telling me that it does "grab" me.
### 1. Why do I say it's better than "Wrestle, Dad!" "Better?
First of all, a movie that has the label erased is a pure good story. The sport of wrestling is indeed a certain distance away from us. When we watch it, our blood boils. After watching it, how many people will go to the wrestling match? The subject of wrestling itself has certain emotions, such as patriotism and national spirit, but it is a bit far from the Chinese audience. There is a strong Indian character in Daddy Fall, which is obvious without an example. The characteristics of Thailand in the genius gunman are almost gone. If all the actors speak Chinese, and the female students' hairstyles are not so uniform and tied with hair ties and bows, would it be unobtrusive to say that it happened in China? Of course, if Chinese directors can tell such a complete and wonderful story.
Second, characterization is somehow the purpose of storytelling. No matter what type of movie it is, after watching it for a long time, maybe the plot can’t be remembered, but we occasionally think of a certain demeanor and choice of a character in a certain scene in the movie on a certain occasion, and that is the preciousness that the movie gives us one's gift. Daddy's role is also good, but the changes and details are not as rich as the talented shooter. In genius, everyone's character is three-dimensional. Most of the characters of the supporting characters have not changed, but every behavior has been maintained and never collapsed - the second female has always been stupid and naive, love is paramount, and friendship is also valued; the second male is a playboy, but his nature is not bad, not Inexperienced, but afraid of parents. It is reasonable and reasonable for the male protagonist to go from the initial little white rabbit to the hysteria after the dream is shattered. I think the first consideration in the ending of the female protagonist's surrender is that even if the male protagonist threatened Lin with his friends and all the Thai candidates, he would not actually report it in the end. As for the heroine, she is completely the representative of truth and beauty, which will be discussed in detail later.
In the end, Falling Dad is too dynamic. The singing and dancing are peaceful, and the impression on the picture is weakened. However, there are many still pictures in Genius, and the arrangement is very clever. The composition makes me very comfortable.
### 2. Seek truth and beauty, not goodness.
Some people say that the three views of this movie are not right. I don't know when the trend of seeing three views in everything arose, and I don't know how the three views are not right when I do something wrong. In a normal society, there will be relief channels, such as juvenile detention centers, prisons, and the public security system, because it is impossible for people not to make mistakes. On the one hand, these power institutions are for punishment and deterrence, and on the other hand, they are also for those who have made mistakes. redemption. In a way, they preserve people's freedom to make mistakes because there are predictable penalties.
I say that seeking truth and beauty, it is not necessary to seek goodness, because goodness cannot be sought, and good deeds can be promoted, but not required; goodness is the result; when truth and beauty are achieved, they will naturally become good.
Lin is "true" to herself. I thought the school’s fees were too expensive, so I won a scholarship; I thought it was unfair for the teacher to leak the test questions, and because of my good friend’s wish, I helped my friend cheat for the first time out of righteous indignation; in order to earn back the school’s overcharged sponsorship fee, I started in all grades Help cheating within the scope; in order to realize the broken dream of studying abroad, help cheating within the scope of Thailand. Her intentions have always been pure, although the means are not quite right.
She voluntarily gave up twice, once when she knew that Banker did not catch up with the scholarship exam because of the second man's hand and foot, and once when Banker was caught cheating in Sydney and was disqualified from studying abroad for life. She has a bottom line, that is, not to hurt the interests of others, but Banker was hurt in it, so she had the idea of giving up. After giving up the first time, it was Bank who said she was responsible for him before moving on. After giving up for the second time, she had already prepared to wash her hands and start a new life. She planned to be a teacher, but she didn't even take her own share of money. It was Bank who threatened her with others that she chose to surrender.
Lin is always "beautiful". Lynn's beauty comes from her earnestness, focus and integrity. Seriousness and concentration can be felt in the cheating plot similar to the spy war in the film, and the design of the confession after the exercise is caught. Let alone cheating is wrong, I don't believe that no one thinks this is not cool. The status of the top student can also be explained.
Integrity is reflected in her bottom line. As mentioned above, one of her bottom lines is not to hurt others, and the second is her father. In fact, after being caught cheating for the first time, she didn't think she was wrong, because she thought the school cheated her first, and the school was unjust, so don't blame her for being unkind; she took the money, and other students passed the exam Well, it's a win-win thing. She really thought so before the Bank thing happened.
Integrity is also reflected in her courage to take responsibility. After being arrested for the first time, she not only lost the scholarship, but also lost the opportunity to study abroad, but she was still friends with the second girl who dragged her into the water, and she did not take any revenge against the male lead. To be precise, it is self-confidence. It would be a more responsible performance to surrender at the end.
To sum up, the heroine is a teenager who has done something wrong, but has a pure nature from beginning to end.
### 3. When injustice happened, the selection of geniuses
started at the very beginning. During the math test in the class, Lin found that the test paper was exactly the same as the tutoring materials for the second female student in the cram school. Remedial classes are run by math teachers.
This is actually quite common, and maybe someone has experienced it firsthand. As a student and parent, I may keep silent, or I may be more active in applying for classes, but the sense of justice makes capable geniuses make another choice.
The reality of wealth and poverty, the hard work of her father, and the injustice of the school made Lin's cheating behavior justifiable until Bank was hurt. Deep, already out of control. At this time, Lin really regretted it and knew it was wrong.
I think one of the educational purposes of this film, if anything, is to get people to not act on a whim and take a long-term view. Sometimes we say something is wrong, not entirely because it was wrong when it happened, but because it had bad consequences. For example, in the novel, "acting for the heaven and avenging the father" is murder now. Maybe people who do justice for heaven will think they are righteous, but what if stupid people follow suit? Cheating is also a win-win for Lin, but she never thought about the injustice to other candidates and the damage to the system. This is something the genius didn't expect or ignore, so she didn't realize the mistake after being arrested for the first time, and even argued with the principal, saying that she was only helping others to cheat, her grades were real, why cancel her study abroad qualifications.
So, is there a better way to deal with unfair schools and teachers, if not like Lynn? Report to a superior? Too risky and uninsured, what else? Probably not for now. From a personal point of view, perhaps the best choice is to stay on your own, continue to be positive and optimistic, and grow healthily. - This requirement is actually a bit high.
