Ladies Development Manual and Wolf Prevention Guide

Every year the Oscar nominations are over, there will always be a wave of photo-only movies. The whole point of the Oscar for me is that it allows me to discover some films that are difficult to arouse interest in watching movies based on the title alone, such as this year's "Growth Education". When I was copying it, some people viewed it as "Adult Education" with unkind intentions. The meaning of a Japanese love teaching film was clearly on paper. In fact, this is an authentic British movie.
I have an inexplicable preference for British films with accents. This preference should come from a unique sense of strangeness: the British accent from the ancient empire, the dark and damp London streets, the old-fashioned gentleman with a high hat, such characteristic scenes , From "Barber Todd" to "Revolver" to "Holmes", it has been strengthened again and again.
Groth education is a concept in Western psychology and sociology. In fact, it is like our domestic "quality education", except that we have a heavier component of playing games. Under such a big and empty topic, what is telling is the story of a young girl with a little fresh breath. This story is put in the country, it should be a friend-like vulgar story of "the 28th girl is infatuated with the married uncle, and when she is lost, she will return to the dream of a prestigious school." Why is this? This is because not only the moon is mellow in foreign countries, but even the uncle is also handsome in foreign countries.
The 16-year-old Jenny was born in a typical British family. She is usually smart, lively and versatile. She is enrolled in a girls' preparatory school and yearned to go to Oxford to study. Parents and teachers have high expectations. Of course, just like all the children in the world before the college entrance examination, their lives are in dire straits. The chubby dad is rigid and strict in tuition. Anything that has nothing to do with the college entrance examination is forbidden to learn, even Jenny hides. The boudoir secretly took out a vinyl record to play a French love song, and the fat father wanted to shout. In the eyes of the old man, French-style things that teach women romance are insecure, and even the entire continent is perilous. Only by squatting in a small country town on the British Isles and reading Latin is the lady who should do it. Things.
Before the appearance of the uncle, Jenny had always been a model for a lady, dressed in a school uniform, with her naked face, quarreling with her two girlfriends, and falling in love with a young boy. Only those little boys who are well-dressed will appear at the dinner table of Jenny's house), a youthful and flawless breath that makes us old people who are no longer young look in their eyes and anxious in their hearts. Carey Mulligan, as a 22-year-old elder sister, pretends to be a 16-year-old ignorant girl.
Everything is properly accounted for, it's time for the evil uncle to appear. The uncles in the world are just as bad, but the uncles in the world are not as handsome. This uncle named David drove in a red four-door coupe. The most hateful thing is that I don't know what kind of car it is. The following plot can be regarded as the director's cut version of the classic uncle hit-up tutorial.
David, who was driving by, was attracted by Jenny, who was in the car in the rain, and you couldn’t walk if you were you: a girl in the drizzle with her eyebrows frowned, a cello leaning on her lap, and a classic ladylike breath came over her face. The desire to fall down spontaneously...Of course, the uncle is not so obsessed with sex, but made a very technical conversation, which fully embodies the spirit of starting from the big and the small: I really worried about Your cello. Such superb strike-up skills can't help but make people shocked, those "beauties, can you leave a phone number" people can be ashamed to commit suicide. The uncle started with the cello. This way of pitying and cherishing jade moved both Xiang and Yu.
The uncle stopped the car and seriously suggested that he could take the cello home. As for the girl, he could run behind the car. The girl also pretended to be serious and said "Oh, that's no good, in case you run away with my piano, and they can't catch up." The uncle took out his wallet more solemnly, counted and counted, and counted out 15 yuan and said that he should put the money in your mortgage. A cello is more than 1,500 pounds. The uncle's humorous words and deeds, which pretend to be dumb, have won the trust of the lady, marking the official success of a conversation and the official beginning of the lady's transformation into a woman.
The next few clichés were fascinated by the uncle, sending flowers, having dinner, listening to concerts, giving birthday gifts, and traveling. The key is that the uncle won the trust of Jenny's parents. Don't ask how you won it. If you have a sports car, have money, know a famous professor in Oxford, and lie without blushing, you can do it.
David took Jenny to see the luxury of this city, enjoyed the free life she dreamed of, and took her to Paris, where all women are dreaming. Obviously, it is indispensable to lose the minute details.
In fact, the uncle is not a bad kind of playing with ignorant girls, even though he does that. I think he is like Duan Zhengchun, he is sincere to every woman, saying that he wants to divorce his wife and marry a mistress is also sincere, but he can't do it. Can't make a promise, what is it? That is a lie. As you can see, lies don't have to be told with ignorance of conscience, and there are many lies that swear to come from the heart.
Of course, this movie is not exposing the evil of the uncle, so it won't be nominated for an Oscar. The film intends to show the growth of the young generation when facing life choices. Jenny is determined to go to Oxford to get the good life she wants, but when there is a shortcut in life, do you believe in yourself or do you believe in the shortcut? What is the meaning of education? Is it just a way to realize material ideals? Of course, the depth of the director's inquiry is much more than that, but my writing is clumsy, and I can't do a deeper explanation. I just put forward this proposition again: the most precious quality of women is to maintain the independence of personality, there is no one.
In fact, this problem is also reflected around us. At the beginning of college entrance, the beautiful counselor told us that some girls will face graduation more than we thought. But in China, it is obviously nonsense that you use the director's tone to ask these questions, because this is China, and this is still a literary film, and it should be a miserable death to move literature and art into life.
The ending of the film is beautiful. With the help of a kind teacher, Jenny, who dropped out of school, finally got her wish and was admitted to Oxford. Jenny who looked at the notice was calm and indifferent, showing signs of growth.
Of course, the enlightenment of this movie to parents is that when a girl in my family grows up, when we do everything possible to guard against uncles, after all, taking detours is not the best way to grow.

    "If you don’t know what you want when you are young, then please go and study well." I want to enjoy the paintings of the aestheticism period in the cozy hut that I rely on my own ability to support. These famous paintings sold by the self-righteous wealthy auction houses are more meaningful.
