Utopia

After watching it, I was still very excited, but also inexplicably wanted to cry.

Plot, plausibility? It doesn't exist, and it doesn't need to, because it is reasonable to exist.

The magic of this movie is that it is fast-paced and has a climax throughout. It takes very little time to show the conflict between the characters. Most of the time is left for the kids and teachers to get high.

There is no need to dig the plot carefully, because basically it is superficial. If you have to interpret it, it is "liberating nature and accepting yourself". As for the educational concept, it is useful for reference, but it is limited (at least it corresponds to the current national conditions of China, I looked up at the time of the movie, 2003, sigh) On the other layer, every adult was once a child, Everyone once had a restless heart (Headmistress)

I suddenly think of Director Lin's "Why Can't I Talk About the Meaning of Life with My Parents, Only the Meaning of Life", but Director Lin's works are obviously much deeper than the rock school. This is also the reason why reason makes me give up 5 stars.

The film has captured the hearts of contemporary audiences well through some of the so-called tricks (plot density arrangements). It is packaged with the theme of "recovering the true self, returning to the original and returning to the original", so that people who are tired of life can temporarily escape from the trivialities of life. Plus 100 minutes of time, just so that the viewers will not suffer from aesthetic fatigue.

Some movies have a long aftertaste but lack impact; some movies hit the pain point but lack stamina. Which is better or worse? Existence is reasonable. What's more, the existence of this film gives many people the strength to move on

This is also the meaning of Utopia's existence.
