I have always missed a movie that I never forget. When I feel stuck, I always come back to watch it, remind myself and encourage myself at the same time. Today is Qingming. In addition to memorialization, I think there is another important task to cherish my life and time.
There are a few of the most memorable clips.
01 O Captain! My Captain!
At the very beginning of class, Teacher Kidding called himself the captain, " O Captain! My Captain! ", he will take everyone to the storm about to be encountered, floating in the dangerous but free, calm but hidden danger sea, in the beginning, "the crew "With suspicion, ignorance, and curious eyes, they were disturbed but eager to set off with the captain, rushing to the ideal, free and loving shore.
During the journey, Mr. Kidding and the students read poems, wrote poems, exercised, applauded, laughed, and got closer to each other. But on the way to the other side, storms continued to hit, in order to protect everyone, Teacher Kedding sacrificed. He left, but the spirit of the ship was abruptly firm. In the final scene, the crew took over the rudder and continued sailing, paying tribute to the captain, shouting O Captain! My Captain!
02 Seize the day. Make your life extraordinary.
In the beginning, Mr. Kidding took them to see the photos of senior brothers and sisters and whispered "Carpe diem, seize the day. Make your life extraordinary." Afterwards, everyone seemed cynical and indifferent, but just like Tagore's verse, "" There are no traces of wings in the sky, but I have already flown. "
Todd wrote one stroke at a time in his draft, Neal began to try to sign up for the troupe, Knox waited in the corridor staring at the pictures of the brothers and sisters on the wall. These are the three people who were touched at the beginning, and the three who have changed the most in the whole show.
One is that Todd was forced to compose a poem that was "a warm applause" on the spot in class. The poem was full of emotions, full of anxiety, tension, and fear, but it was extremely simple and sincere, because he came from the most sensitive human beings. The heart, the most romantic imagination, the most primitive release.
03 Sharing of lines (partial quotation)
Every frame, every small fragment, every line, every poem, every party in "Death Poetry Society" can trigger a deep thought for everyone.
(1) Pick your buds in time. The old days are gone. The flowers that are still smiling today will wither in the wind tomorrow.
They ' re not that different from you are they? Same haircuts , full of hormones just like you , invincible just like you feel , the world is their oyster , they believe they are destined for great things just like many of you , their eyes full of hope just like you. Did they wait until it was too late to make from their lives even one iota of what they were capable? Because , you see , gentlemen , these boys are now fertilizing daffodils. ”
"They are not much different from you, are they? The same hairstyle. Full of vitality, just like you. Ambitious, just like you. The world is in their hands, and they believe that they can accomplish great things, just like many of you. They see Hopeful, just like you guys. But have they just squandered and missed any career they instinctively accomplished? Because, you see, everybody, the young people of the year have become the dust under the flowers."
(2) Free thinking. Think independently, don't blindly follow authority.
" This is a battle , a war , and the casualties could be your heart and soul. Armies of academics going forward measuring poetry. No! We will not have that here. No more of Mr J. Evans Pritchard. Now , my class , you will learn to think for yourselves again. You will learn to savor words and language. No matter what anybody tells you , words and ideas can change the world. ”
"This is a battle, war, your mind and soul may be the victim. The academics are constantly attacking poetry and measuring poetry. No! We can't agree. Let J. Evans Pritchart go to hell. Right. Now, everyone, you have to learn to think for yourself. You have to learn to appreciate words and language. No matter what others tell you, words and ideas can indeed change the world."
(3) The meaning of poetry
“ We don ' t read and write poetry because it ' s cute. We read and write poetry because we are members of the human race. And the human race is filled with passion. And medicine , law , business , engineering , these are noble pursuits and necessary to sustain life. But poetry , beauty , romance , love...these are what we stay alive for . ”
We read and write poetry, not for its dexterity. We read poems and write poems, because we are a member of mankind. And human beings are full of enthusiasm. Medicine, law, commerce, engineering, these are noble ideals, and are necessary conditions for survival. But poetry, beauty, romance, love, these are the reasons for our existence.
(4) The existence of life, self
Oh me! Oh life! Of the questions of these recurring, Of the endless trains of the faithless, Of cities fill'd with the foolish,... What good amid these, O me, O life? Answer. That you are here —That life exists and identity, That the powerful play goes on, and you may contribute a verse.
Translation:
Self, life, these questions are always coming up with people without faith. The city is full of ignorance. What is the meaning of life in it, self, life? The answer is because of your existence, irreplaceable existence because the great drama is going on because you can dedicate a poem
As Tagore's poem:
My existence is a permanent miracle of so-called life. That i exist is a perpetual surprise which is life.
This world is like a drama, and everyone's existence is like a poem in it. So, what is your poem?
What will your verse be?
(5) "Stand on the podium and see the world in a different light"
just when you think you know something, you have to look at it in another way.
even though it may seem silly or wrong, you must try!
now, when you read, don't just consider what the author thinks...consider what you think.
boys, you must strive to find your own voice.
because the longer you wait to begin, the less likely you are to find it at all.
thoreau said, "most men lead lives of quiet desperation." Thoreau said, "most men lead lives of quiet desperation."
don't be resigned to that.break out! Don't be resigned to that.break out!
We must constantly look at things in a different way
Dare to strike out and find new ground to dare to open up new horizons
(6) Dead poets society. Dead poets society club
The opening speech of the Dead Poetry Society is from Thoreau's "Walden Lake":
I went to the woods because i wanted to live deliberately ... I wanted to live deep and suck out all the marrow of life! to put to rout all that was not life... and not when i came to die, discover that i had not lived...
I stepped into the jungle, hoping to live more meaningfully... I want to live deep and absorb the essence of all life! Break down all non-living things... At the end of life, I don’t want to sigh that I have never lived...
Alfred Lord Tennyson “ Come my friends. It ' s not too late to seek a newer world. For my purpose holds to sail beyond the sunset. And though we are not now that strength which in old days moved Earth and heaven. That which we are , we are: one equal temper of heroic hearts , made weak by time and fate , but strong in will , to strive , to seek , to find , and not to yield ,"
"Alfred Tennyson’s poem: Come on, my friends. It’s not too late to find a newer world. I’m determined, if the sunset ends. Even though we no longer have the past shakes. The power of the earth. We are still us: the same ambition, weakened by time and destiny, but determined to struggle, explore, discover, and never surrender."
(7) The danger of blind obedience
We all have a great need for acceptance But you must trust that your beliefs are unique, your own. But you must trust that your beliefs are unique, your own. Robert Frost said, two roads diverged in the wood and I took the one less traveled by. And that has made all the difference. Robert Frost said that two roads diverged in the wood and I took the one less traveled by. This makes all the difference.
Peter Weir was talking about why the theme of "Death Poetry Society" attracted him: "First it was the theme of standing up to authority, because there have been many times during my childhood and also as an adult when I wanted to stand up and speak my mind, but I didn't, and I've regretted most of those times. "
Neil’s hidden rebellion and idealism of fighting with death, Todd’s introverted and sensitive heart, Charlie’s contempt for authority and his anger, Knox is fascinated by the girl he loves, and integrates the characteristics of each boy in the poetry society. Being together is what we used to be, the one who wanted to speak loudly but didn't dare to speak, wanted to stand on the desk but was afraid of becoming an alien. The film just provided an emotional outlet, which aroused the resonance and thinking of countless people.
However, what is more difficult is that "wise people know what to do when and when", to judge the time and situation, do what they can, and accumulate strength. Seeking a balance between the ideal of self-awakening and reality, everything has just begun. I am still thinking about how to turn my dreams into reality.
In the past few months, I think I have grown, from pure idealism to a changer who has acted but still has a passionate ideal in my heart. Partially compromising with the real world, but also complying with the inner thoughts, is not easy said than done. But without your own strength, how can you freely pursue the truth you want. When I watched this movie for the first time, I was attracted by the beautiful philosophical verses, and I admired the beauty, passion and power of poetry. He can make people as soft as a grass, or as tender as a rose, with tenderness as water, or as sharp as a bow and arrow, or as calm and firm as a tree. I think everything in the world can be used to describe poetry, because poetry becomes great because of the existence of human thoughts and emotions. You and I are both a poem, and everything in the world is.
