High Commander: lalaland/Blade Runner 2049

The beginning is a fast-paced history class. What is history? It's change, it's opposites, and the Civil War was rooted in disagreements about whether people are created equal. I have seen some movies showing American classrooms, teachers and students interact, speak freely, and rebel against authority. Teachers use rock and black music to give lectures (can't remember the name of the movie), appreciate art works to enlighten feminist thinking (Mona Lisa's smile), and encourage students to use artistic paintings to express emotions without outlets (Kristen Stewart's No more silence), discovering the unique identity of each child (stars on earth)…

History is not parrot propaganda It is not the time and place events of the test-taking memory, but the thinking and analysis Frank should be Drey's brother's good friend. After the drug trafficking incident was exposed, he did not report it, so Frank took good care of Dan, a history teacher and basketball coach played by Drey Gosling. A synthesis of contradictions What does it mean when you look good in history class, don't follow pictures and don't follow textbooks, talk funny on the training ground, but become an addict when you get home, drink and take drugs, and paint half Nelson in watercolor with big baby? The machine controls us and we lose our freedom. He asks the machine what did you think of? The answer is that prisons, white people, authority, school things are all made up of contradictory opposites. Drey works at the school, serves the machine, is a part of it, and doesn't like some of its disciplines. , bound human nature, like Prohibition in America.

    I love history, and the purpose is not to know the rise and fall, but the heavy and helpless atmosphere attracts me. When I read the history books, a sense of inhumanity and all things being my dogs engulfed me. When the film progresses to the point where the teacher hands the money into the hands of the female student to buy drugs, the sense of helplessness strikes again. People try to change, and most people want to change in the direction of being recognized or called good. But can it be changed?

    An independent film with a unique perspective; an interpretation of acute social issues with a small pattern, the brushstrokes are calm and powerful; Gosling's excellent performance.
