Not a single movie review

I watched "No One Less" in its entirety a few days ago. The substitute teacher Wei Minzhi is a stubborn person. She doesn't understand much truth, but she stubbornly keeps her promise to Teacher Gao. When others questioned her, she didn't care to say "I don't care, it's just..." (I used this tone a lot when I was in elementary school).
The teacher in the county wants to recruit her students, but she is not willing, and it is not good for the development of the students. She hides the students and chases the cars. Anyway, the students cannot be taken away; the student Zhang Huike goes to work in the city, and she goes to the city. bring him back.
In the process of looking for Zhang Huike, Minzhi was always helpless, she didn't know how to find someone, and many of her efforts were in vain. When I heard someone call Minzhi a "little boy", I suddenly reacted. Although she kept emphasizing "I am Zhang Huike's teacher", she was actually just like Huike, just a child. I feel distressed about Minzhi's situation, but I don't know what to think about the people she meets, because to be honest, if I met her, I might be full of doubts about her. When I saw that the story had a happy ending, I still smiled, maybe the world is not so cold...
The last part of the film that impressed me was that the children were choosing colored chalk donated by well-meaning people to write a word each . Before writing, Zhang Huike asked Minzhi, "Can I write two more words?" Minzhi agreed, and he solemnly wrote three words "Mr. Wei" on the blackboard. My heart trembled a little, and the movie happened to play the tear-jerking background music. "Mr. Wei", I can feel that all the unspeakable feelings the child has for the teacher are in these three words.

    Wei Minzhi's stubborn stubbornness is actually more derived from his own life forced and precocious contract spirit: no one can be less than 50 yuan. As for teaching and educating people, she really didn't have much interest, so the singing in the Garden of the Motherland was very jerky, and it didn't matter if a box of chalk broke. After writing the blackboard, she left the classroom and sat alone at the door. Just talk about the traditional spiritual realm of the Academy, let alone the teacher Gao who has taken leave, even the female monitor in the class is not as good as her. But it is precisely this imperfect self-interested personality in the traditional sense that finally creates a relatively perfect altruistic result: through persistent search for Zhang Huike, it has attracted widespread public opinion in the city. In both cases of the same search, business thinking closely related to the spirit of contract is used: the former gets paid, the latter pays), which improves the teaching conditions in elementary schools. And these changes were impossible for her predecessor, Gao Fengliang, who made silent dedication regardless of gains and losses... The development bottleneck that was difficult to break under the old model can be easily solved by new thinking. What Zhang Yimou made was actually a "WTO accession propaganda film".

    Wow. I remember that when I was in the south, the primary school organized to watch it together. I remember the flag-raising scene at the beginning. I thought it was very cola when I was a child, and everyone was arranged in the couple's seat. . . Two or even three people huddled together. . .
