There is a theme called the real theme

Many people think that the moon in the United States is rounder than ours. Even if our economy develops, science and technology are advanced, and culture is improved... there are still many people who will insist on that, so Calvino said that some people are very Stubborn. And it's not just the moon. They even believe that if Americans eat mooncakes, they will definitely be rounder, more fragrant, and sweeter than ours... For example, our teacher Zhao Lihua, a few years ago Tennessee, who arrived in the United States, immediately announced to us that she had made the best pies in the world, and her old man had been in China for so many years, and she was not ashamed to say that the dumplings she made were the best in the world. What is all this? I think it's probably the American Feng Shui that gave her some confidence.

I watched a movie last night, but I once again strengthened my belief that dumplings are better than pies. It’s said that American universities are better than ours and better than ours. If we say that our college entrance examination is a multitude of troops and horses crossing a single-plank bridge, then going to college in the United States is to drive a Buick on the Hangzhou Bay Bridge, although sometimes I can't help but stop it, but it won't hurt after all. However, the film gave us a vivid public class on the education situation in the United States. A fairly normal American high school student could be turned away by eight universities, and all the universities closed the doors for him in a unified way, leaving a young boy in bloom to face a tragic fate. This is really furious. Even though our classmate Fan Jin from the old society has repeatedly failed in the exams, he can still reach the top, insult Taishan, and go crazy. Take a look, they dare to be so cruel and ruthless in treating students, but our university is so enthusiastic and compassionate. It expands enrollment almost every year, for fear that the children of whose family will not be able to go to university because of their little negligence. So we have more college students, and our college students' salaries are less. But we still happily ran to the university with a lot of banknotes. It's good to go to college, but the salary is a lot less. On this point, the Chinese and American people have the same concept. Therefore, no matter how democratic the United States is, the children in the United States have to listen to their parents. If they can't go to college, they should hang themselves. Bartby Gaines is a glib and naturally optimistic kid, and he doesn't want to hang himself. Since there is no university to ask him, I just get a university by myself, and then I receive the admission letter from my university and go to my university with confidence. It is said that Harvard rejected a student that year. As a result, the student’s parents built a new university of their own and named it "Stanford."

Butterby’s idea seemed cool and absurd, but it turned out to be very successful. With the help of a group of hard brothers and sisters, South Harmon Institute of Technology officially opened. Regarding Batby and his party’s astonishing move, some people commented that it was the fruit of quality education in the United States. The implication is that if you change to the country, you will only be able to deal with students who are taking exams. It is estimated that such problems can only be dealt with on the test papers. It's just signing. This is still the fallacy of the "America Moonlighter"ists. When I was in college, a bunch of talented people who thought they were in Peking University and Tsinghua University often threatened that one day they would become rich and they would buy Peking University and Tsinghua University and use them as private schools for their children. It's a pity that no one made their good wishes into a movie, so we can't blame us for not having advanced student representatives like Bartby in our country, but our director. Other directors can make the fakes look like the real ones, but our directors seem to be able to make the real ones look like the fake ones.

Bartby originally imagined that he could spend four years smoothly, and then give himself a diploma. With his ingenuity, he could find a good job without a diploma. Since then, everything is well, living and working while going on a blind date with a girl. Loving each other is actively preparing to cultivate the next generation. It's a pity that he was happy too early. When a large group of elites who entered South Harmon without an exam was about to squeeze the school, Bartby wanted to tell them that all this was just a white lie, but the joke seemed to be a bit big, but he faced the passionate one. Student, he can only raise his arms and shout "welcome!" It shows that this kid is very conscientious. But experience tells us that it's useless to have a conscience. If you want a fictional university to look like the real thing, you have to use your brain a little bit more. So Mr. Bartby, the founder of South Harmon, decided to personally visit and learn from the experience of running a regular university, but he bumped his nose into chalk. Since the regular army can't learn it, they will engage in guerrillas and be self-reliant. From school buildings to poor infrastructure, from teachers to curriculum arrangements, all ideas and measures are boiled down to a concept, students are everything! The contradictions among the people were resolved, but the attack from the outside began. The regular army "Harmon University" next door accused their neighbors of illegally running schools, hoping to razing "South Harmon" to the ground through judicial means so that they could build a new campus avenue.

Perhaps it is because the history of the United States is too short, so many things seem to carry the shadow of history. For example, when I watched the scene of the hearing, I was thinking that this was not the scene of negotiations with the British government before the United States declared its independence. Bartby was the founding leader. In order to fight for the rights and interests he deserved, he introduced his new country to the public with passion. Although he was much younger than the high spirits of the sages, the leaders of the Education Bureau were not from the British Empire. Master Guan, in the face of all the "South Harmons", the result of the hearing he gave was to allow the "South Harmons" to try out for one year in order to see success or failure. This result can be seen as promoting the theme of the Americans, and the real theme should be regardless of country. Facing education problems, educators and parents all over the world are confused and thinking, and the pressures faced by students are not the same. The film is full of jokes, but it is certainly not simply to promote the post-modern absurdity of "run a university to go to school". The end of the film expresses its views on education through the mouth of American education officials: the essence of education is to stimulate innovation. , To cultivate innovation ability, any education that stifles creativity is a failure or even a sinful education, it can be described as insightful. This view is obviously worthy of the whole world's attention. This is one of the true themes of the so-called regardless of the country, because he cares about the whole world, rather than entangled in dumplings or pies, which is more delicious. Of course, this is a good comedy. People who are not very interested in education do not need to accept the educational significance of the movie. Just watching the movie itself is enough to make everyone, especially the students who are under pressure to enter a higher school, laugh. .

    American style is nonsensical, but it gives people unlimited thinking. Is it possible for the well-behaved education model to be changed according to the needs of the students? It seems that the film does not give the answer to what everyone wants. How will they face it after four years of graduation?
