"Do what you think is right"

"Do what you think is right." After watching the movie for a few days, this sentence kept echoing in my ears. In the movie, the father and doctor repeatedly reiterated to his daughter, but this is not something that can be done after going to the UK, but a choice right now. The daughter who graduated from high school experienced the events before the entrance examination, learned of her father’s extramarital affairs, experienced grandma’s physical accident, and learned that her father wanted to use her own contacts to study a series of "efforts" in a prestigious British school. She was also entangled in whether she wanted to cooperate in marking her test papers. In the end, she made her own choice in the examination room and adopted a gentle begging for a delay in the test without marking her test papers. Her decision on whether to go abroad is open-ended, but I know that the little girl has grown up. After graduating from high school, she has the confidence to make her own choices for her future and is responsible for her choice.

The father in the film is a respected doctor, but he sees through the dark side of Romanian society and has unrealistic illusions about Western society. In his mind, the United Kingdom may be an ideal society with a clean, clean and orderly legal system. He hopes. My daughter can jump into the utopia like a carp, and live the life she wants. But the unfamiliar country may not be as beautiful as he thought, and his country is not as bad as he understands. From the police's investigation of rapists, the investigation team's investigation of doctors, and the imperfect but relatively fair examination system, we can see that all walks of life in this country are still operating in an orderly manner. "Do what you think is the right thing" is a call for everyone to make the right choice right now.

"Do what you think is right." There are various problems in life that require me to make choices. The true freedom is not the absence of temptation, but the freedom to say No in the face of temptation; true maturity is not about walking blindfolded along the road that others have chosen for yourself. Go on, but face the different opinions, carefully consider and come up with your own ideas, and go on firmly. This is also the only way for everyone to reach maturity and freedom.

    Director Mengji is too stable. He weakens the rendering of events, highlights the daily life, and weaves a fine cobweb little by little. From one incident, it radiates all social levels of family, school, hospital, and public security law. Men are like chestnuts on fire. The wife ignores, the daughter does not recognize, the lover does not love, the relationship network is useless, family, career, hidden relationship almost collapses, there is no empty words or nonsense in such a dense script of dialogue, everyone is talking about people, and there is no golden sentence, great.

    Mengji is still technically at a high level. He uses photography to narrate fluently. There are many male protagonists who have long conversations with other people, holding a long shot from the meeting to putting the actors in the same picture to talk (such as the father and daughter on the poster) and then leave. , There is also a horror scene similar to 432's barking in the night from the perspective of the car. But the story does have flaws in its design, and perhaps in a post-communist country we also feel a little slack. The bitter offspring of the father's complicated ancestors will not understand.

Graduation quotes

  • Romeo: Eliza, you have to do your best. It'd be a pity to miss this chance. Some important steps in life depend on small things. And some chances shouldn't be wasted. You know, in '91, your Mum and I decided to move back. It was a bad decision. We thought things would change, we thought we'd move mountains. We didn't move anything. I have no regrets, though. At least we tried...
