On a rainy day, my cello and I were in the rain on the side of the street. At this time, a handsome man driving a limited sports car asked Ying for help. He also stated all the concerns I had and hadn't realized yet, as well as a humorous suggestion of just saving the cello and letting me walk with the car. Then I said, what kind of tutor is reserved, see your motherfucker, I got in the car.

Many times, especially many young boys, are disgusted with old men. Take a trip to a Chinese university, especially those specializing in liberal arts and arts. How many good cars are parked outside. When night falls, the girls are like birds returning to their nests. Many times, young people don't understand, thinking that even if they go straight to the money, this is a cruel game for a boy, because he has not had time to step into the society, and the society has already stepped into the girls' dormitory.

I also have many female classmates who have received "growth education", starting from high school, not to mention college. Unless they are really afraid of hurting their self-esteem for some reason, why aren't everyone eager to try it? I still remember once holding a beer bottle with a bunch of buddies and blowing water, like Graham in the movie, thinking that there is true love in the world, and then talking about which girl was hanging out with an old man, my heart was infinitely contemptuous.

Now that I have lived to the present, it is considered to be alive. Now if there is another woman who asks for guidance, I will tell her that it is unreliable to find a man and not someone under the age of 30. In "Growing Up Education", the director used the performance of Graham and David in Jenny's house to illustrate a lot of problems. Graham is impractical and impersonal, while David has the money and the ability to get Jenny's stubborn father in a few words.

After Jenny and David were together, she was in and out of high-end restaurants, concerts, auction houses... and even traveled to Paris. The pleasures a woman can enjoy in a lifetime, she almost enjoys it in a few months. Then, of course, she can mock the Oxford students as four-eyed girls, and she can also think that the teachers in the school are dying people. The director did not portray David and Jenny as a pair of people obsessed with sensuality and no longer self-cultivation. Instead, Jenny thinks she has more time to enjoy books and art. If this is the case, then it is indeed a wise choice for Jenny to give up college to enjoy life.

I think there is also a big misunderstanding now that the old man takes away the little girl, that is, taking advantage of his established social status and launching an unequal emotional battle armed with material. It may also be because of this kind of lustful thinking, there are more people who didn't play when they were young and want to take revenge on society when they are old. But it cannot be denied that the knowledge, experience and taste of some men are far superior to those of first-class boys like Graham. So as long as a woman still has some taste, she should make such a choice.

The biggest question challenged by "Growing Education" is: If the joy of life can be obtained in this way, then does education and education have absolute meaning? This simple question left both the principal and the teacher speechless. But in the end, the movie kindly gave everyone a fair ending, which made Jenny wake up in tears: "There are no shortcuts in life."

But the result of this movie was not a very satisfying thing, because it put all the The problem is all thrown at a man's concealment of marriage. Even David's marriage proposal, in my opinion, doesn't follow the logic of the movie. I don't really want to see how a girl with a bright future is deceived by a married man step by step. After all, this is just another story of an infatuated woman. What I wanted to see was the film's sober reflection on some real issues that "Growing Up Education" eschewed at the end.

If David were an unmarried man, how would he make a choice compared to education itself? What kind of answer should "Growing Education" give? marry? Still not married? read? Still not reading? Because you can't use the ending of a movie to deny all serious successful men who want to find a good girl. This makes me think that "Growing Education" may just be filmed to bring the school atmosphere to life. However, if one's hope fails, can one deny the meaning of hope itself?

In addition, the film's portrayal of a female character struggling between love, freedom and education, education, and the portrayal of a stubborn, stingy, snobbish father character, etc., are all excellent.

    A movie worth watching for girls, meaning is very important, but many times what we do has no meaning. In the process of slowly looking for it, it seems to have meaning. Life is still up to you. .

    It takes a few somersaults to understand that it has nothing to do with love. Carey Mulligan shines brightly.
